LeMieux Mens Water Resistant Softshell Riding Jacket
Description
LeMieux Mens Softshell Jacket - Water Resistant, Breathable Riding & Yard Jacket
The LeMieux Mens Softshell Jacket is a water resistant, breathable riding jacket designed for men who ride and work outdoors in changeable British weather. It suits everyday yard duties, hacking and schooling, with a two-way zip that stops the jacket catching on the saddle and a detachable hood you can remove when you mount up.
Best for riders who want one jacket that copes with showers, mucking out and a trip to the feed merchant without looking like technical outdoor kit. Browse more LeMieux rider apparel to build a matching yard wardrobe.

How to Use
- Measure your chest at the fullest point and compare with the LeMieux size guide before choosing your size.
- If you layer a thick fleece or jumper underneath in winter, or have broad shoulders, consider taking the next size up.
- Fit the detachable hood for turnout, mucking out and poor weather, and remove it before riding for clear vision and movement.
- Open the two-way zip from the hem when mounted so the jacket sits comfortably over the saddle.
- Tighten the adjustable cuffs over or under your gloves to seal out draughts.
- Use the internal back panel zip if you are having yard, team or club embroidery added.
FAQ
Is the LeMieux Mens Softshell Jacket waterproof?
The outer fabric is water resistant rather than fully waterproof, so it is ideal for showery days and light rain. The two-way front zip is waterproof covered for additional protection.
Can I wear it while riding?
Yes. The two-way zip opens from the hem so the jacket does not catch on the saddle, and the hood detaches for unrestricted vision and movement in the school.
How does it fit and should I size up?
It has a tailored fit. Riders who wear a thick jumper or fleece underneath, or who have broader shoulders, generally prefer the next size up. Measure your chest and check the size guide first.
Can the jacket be embroidered?
Yes. An internal zip gives access to the back panel so a name, yard or team logo can be embroidered neatly.
Is the hood removable?
Yes, the generous hood is fully detachable, so you can use it for yard work in bad weather and remove it for riding.
How should I care for it?
Close all zips before washing and follow the sewn-in care label. Avoid fabric conditioner and harsh detergents, which can affect the water resistant finish of softshell fabric.
