Wet Weather Riding Gear

A waterproof riding jacket, waterproof breeches or overtrousers, chaps and waterproof gloves cover most riders' needs. Just Horse Riders stocks waterproof riding wear from Premier Equine, LeMieux, Hy Equestrian, Toggi, Dublin and Weatherbeeta, from around £6.

What makes a good waterproof riding jacket?
Look for a waterproof, breathable fabric with taped seams, a longer back to cover the saddle, rear vents or gussets so the jacket sits well when mounted, and a hood that works with a riding hat. The Premier Equine Pro Rider Unisex Waterproof Riding Jacket (from £72) and Premier Equine Cascata Ladies Waterproof Coat (from £90) are popular all-rounders, while the LeMieux Competition Clear Waterproof Riding Jacket (from £59.95) lets competition colours show through.
Should I choose waterproof breeches, overtrousers or chaps?
Waterproof breeches, such as the Premier Equine Amnis Waterproof Breeches (from £108), are a single layer you ride in. Overtrousers like the Hy Equestrian Waterproof Pull-On Over Trousers (from £19.03) slip on over your usual jodhpurs when the weather turns. Waterproof chaps, for example the Shires Aubrion Original Waterproof Chaps (from £36), protect your legs while leaving the seat free for grip.
Which gloves work best in the rain?
Waterproof riding gloves with a grippy palm stop wet reins slipping. The Premier Equine Hydrex Waterproof Riding Gloves (from £30.60) are designed for riding, and the Woof Wear All Season Waterproof Yard Gloves (from £5.99) suit mucking out and yard jobs.
How do I keep waterproofs working?
Follow the care label, wash with a technical cleaner rather than ordinary detergent, and re-proof when water stops beading on the surface. Dirt and fabric conditioner both reduce waterproofing and breathability.

Wet weather riding gear: frequently asked questions
Are waterproof riding jackets breathable?
Most riding-specific waterproof jackets use breathable fabrics so sweat can escape while rain stays out. Breathability varies between jackets, so check each product page for the fabric details.
Can I wear a body protector under a waterproof jacket?
Yes. Many riders size up their jacket slightly so it fits comfortably over a body protector. Try the jacket with your body protector on if you can, or check the brand's size guide.
What is the difference between waterproof and water-resistant?
Water-resistant fabric copes with light showers, while waterproof fabric with sealed seams is designed to keep out sustained rain. Product pages state which applies.
How much does waterproof riding gear cost?
At Just Horse Riders, waterproof gloves start from around £6, overtrousers from around £19 and waterproof jackets from around £29. Prices on the collection are live and may change.
