Winter riding coats...

[_jetset_]

With this weather I feel as though winter is already here!

My Joules coat from last winter has definitely had its day and leaks when it rains, has a broken zip and the hood has disappeared!

So, I am looking for a really good winter coat for mucking out, riding and general yard wear. Does anyone know of any that have hoods, are lovely and warm and waterproof?

Pictures would also be good if you have any, LOL!

Thanks,

Rebecca

musto - i have 2 and love them both. My mum has 3 and loves them all. They have lots of different styles so i'm sure they will have something that will suit your needs.

I got one of mine 50% off at Blenheim!

either the Musto combination jacket or the Musto polartec snug!

Combination is mud proof, horse proof, waterproof, wind proof etc

both worth their weight and cost in gold

Thanks... will have a look when the winter stock comes out. I have no idea when that is, but I know I am ready for it now!

Echo that, Mustos are lovely! I'd like to have the Mountain Horse one (posh-looking shaped one, can't remember the name, Grace maybe?) I think it looks good... and expensive! I have a Dublin Empress, it lasted a year and still doesn't get me wet, but isn't waterproof any more (it soaks it all up instead and keeps me dry but weighed down!). I have a Horsware Corrib for non-horsey wear, it's really snug!

Kyra K Edinburg coat is fantastic, best £90 i ever spent.

Can't find a pic though

Ooo... I like the sound of the shaped Mountain Horse one... tell me more!

 

[Super_Kat]

Musto!!!! I love mine

 

[jacks_mum]

i've had my Musto for years. Its not waterproof anymore it a bit like RachelB's coat now but definitley worth the money. Other than that I have a very thick hippy woollen jacket with a fleece lining and a hood that I love on cold dry days.

I love the Mountain Horse Grace jacket - If you look on RideAway I think it's in their sale

Ooo... even better!

I brought a horseware Rambo jacket for £15 in a saddlery sale! It's not thick but I canlayer jumpers under it for the winter and it's cool enough to wear now......what a bargain!

I think the mountain rider one is on Robinsons website x

I have found it on Robbies website but it's only in Lrg and I need medium... grr!

 

[Parkranger]

Oh no how annoying! I'd google it and see if anyone else is selling it. Equine Clearnance Warehouse are good....

Thanks... will have a look!

When does winter stock usually come out?

 

[Parkranger]

I'm not sure but I'm guessing end of August, beginning of September.....

 

[BuckingHorse]

Kyra K Edinburgh. Sooo warm and waterproof and has a hood.

 

[wiglet]

My Musto coat is the best ever - still going strong after 4 years. KyraK jackets are good as well.

Love my mountain horse grace jacket - ride in it, have hunted in it, mucked out - it's excellent and really snug

There are a few of the grace jackets about in the sale so I have to say I am very very tempted... Are they warm in winter?

 

[RachelB]

Oh no don't tempt me too! Have just looked on the UK Mountain Horse website and the Grace isn't on there any more as far as I can tell... I've always thought they looked really nice and now I want one too! Only ting is I've just spent £235 on my horse this week! eek!
