LeMieux Mens Fleece Gilet Sleeveless Riding Bodywarmer
Description
LeMieux Mens Fleece Gilet - Sleeveless Layering For Yard And Saddle
The LeMieux Mens Fleece Gilet is a sleeveless fleece bodywarmer designed for riders who want core warmth without restricting the arms. It suits schooling, hacking, groundwork, lunging and everyday yard work, and works equally well as an off-horse layer for dog walking or spectating.
A fleece gilet is a staple item in any active wardrobe, and this version elevates the look with quality finishing touches. Matte-finish edge binding and a straight hem bring a technical feel to the piece, a two-way zip offers different wear options, and a branded rubber and metal badge adds a luxe detail.
Key Features
- Fleece construction for warmth through the body with full freedom of movement in the arms

- Straight hem sits cleanly in the saddle rather than bunching behind the seat

- Check the straight hem sits flat behind you once you are mounted.
- Close the zip before washing and follow the care label sewn into the garment.
FAQ
Can you ride in the LeMieux Mens Fleece Gilet?
Yes. The straight hem is designed for wearing in the saddle and the sleeveless cut leaves the arms and shoulders free for rein contact.
What size should I order?
Order your usual mens size for a standard layering fit. If you regularly wear a thick jumper underneath or prefer a roomier chest and shoulder, size up.
What is the point of a two-way zip?
A two-way zip opens from the hem as well as the neck, so you can release the bottom for extra movement in the saddle or when sitting, while keeping the chest closed.
How do I wash a fleece gilet?
Fasten the zip first and follow the care label. Wash it separately from rugs and hook-and-loop fastenings, and skip fabric conditioner, which can flatten the fleece pile.
Is this gilet only for riding?
No. It is equally suited to yard work, mucking out, dog walking, competition spectating and casual everyday wear.
Is it warm enough for winter?
It is a fleece layering piece rather than a waterproof coat, so in cold or wet weather most riders wear it under a jacket or over a long-sleeved mid-layer.
