LeMieux Rose Hooded Puffer Gilet for Riding
Description
LeMieux Rose Hooded Puffer Gilet — Lightweight Water-Resistant Bodywarmer
The LeMieux Rose Hooded Puffer Gilet is a lightweight, water-resistant quilted bodywarmer filled with recycled Repreve padding, designed for riding, yard work and everyday wear. It suits riders who want core warmth and free arm movement on cold, changeable days, whether schooling, hacking, mucking out or running errands.
It is best for anyone who finds a full coat too bulky in the saddle: the two-way front zip opens from the hem so the gilet sits neatly when mounted and helps prevent scratches to your pommel, and the quilted hood detaches completely when you do not need it.

FAQ
Is the LeMieux Rose Hooded Puffer Gilet waterproof?
It is water-resistant rather than waterproof. The outer fabric handles showers and damp yard conditions, but for prolonged heavy rain a dedicated waterproof coat is a better choice.
Can the hood be removed?
Yes. The quilted hood is fully detachable and adjustable, so you can wear the gilet as a plain bodywarmer or add the hood when the weather turns.
Can you ride in this gilet?
Yes. The sleeveless cut keeps your arms free and the durable two-way front zip opens from the hem so the gilet sits comfortably in the saddle and helps prevent scratches to your pommel.
What size should I order?
The cut is flattering and close-following. Order your usual size to wear over a base layer or light jumper, and size up if you are between sizes or plan to layer over a thick fleece or hoodie.
What is the gilet filled with?
It is filled with recycled Repreve quilting, which is light and warm with a lovely loft for lasting puffiness.
How should I wash it?
Detach the hood and close all zips first, then follow the care label on the garment. Avoiding fabric conditioner helps maintain the loft of the filling and the water-resistant finish.
