LeMieux Young Rider Ruby Puffer Gilet with Hood
Description
LeMieux Young Rider Ruby Puffer Gilet
The LeMieux Young Rider Ruby Puffer Gilet is a lightweight, water-resistant sleeveless puffer jacket filled with recycled quilting, finished with a detachable quilted hood and a two-way front zip. It is made for young riders aged from junior through to teen sizing who want one warm, packable layer for riding, yard duties and the school run.
Best for chilly, changeable days when a full coat is too much: layer it over a hoodie for schooling, or under a waterproof for winter turnout. The sleeveless cut keeps the arms free for reins, mucking out and grooming.

- Layer over a hoodie or base layer for schooling, or under a waterproof coat for wet turnout.
- Use the two-way zip to open the hem in the saddle so the gilet sits comfortably over the pommel.

FAQ
Is the LeMieux Young Rider Ruby Puffer Gilet waterproof?
It is water-resistant rather than fully waterproof. It handles drizzle and yard splashes well, but for prolonged heavy rain layer a waterproof coat over the top.
Can the hood be removed?
Yes. The quilted hood is detachable, so the gilet can be worn as a plain collared gilet or with the hood attached when the weather turns.
What size should I order for a young rider?
Measure the chest and height and check them against the size guide. The cut is flattering and fairly close, so if your rider is between sizes, or wears chunky hoodies underneath, choose the larger size. Growing riders often need to move up a size between seasons.
Is it suitable for riding in?
Yes. The sleeveless design keeps the arms free and the durable two-way front zip opens from the hem so it sits neatly in the saddle and helps prevent scratches to your pommel.
What is the filling made from?
The gilet is filled with recycled quilting, which is light and warm with a lovely loft for lasting puffiness.
How should it be cared for?
Detach the hood, close the front and pocket zips, and follow the washing instructions printed on the garment care label.
