LeMieux Young Rider Soft Shell Fleece-Lined Riding Jacket
Description
LeMieux Young Rider Soft Shell Jacket
The LeMieux Young Rider Soft Shell Jacket is a fitted, zip-through riding jacket with a bonded fleece lining, made for children and teenage riders who want warmth and weather protection without bulk. It is best for everyday yard wear, lessons and hacking through autumn and winter, where a neat, close-fitting layer is easier to ride in than a loose coat.
Technical soft shell fabric gives resilience and wind protection, while gunmetal finishings, an adjustable hood and matte silicone high-build LeMieux branding give it the same grown-up look as the adult range. Browse more LeMieux clothing and equestrian kit to coordinate the rest of the wardrobe.

How to Use
- Measure your young rider's chest over the base layer or hoodie they usually wear underneath.
- Choose the size that matches that measurement, sizing up if they are between sizes or layer heavily in winter.
- Zip the two-way front zip from the top, then open it from the hem when mounted so the jacket sits comfortably over the saddle.
- Adjust the hood for a snug fit in wind and rain, or leave it flat for schooling.
- Use the zipped pockets for treats, gloves and small essentials so nothing drops while riding.
- Hang the jacket to air after use and wash according to the sewn-in care label.
FAQ
Is the LeMieux Young Rider Soft Shell Jacket warm enough for winter riding?
It has a warm bonded fleece lining behind the soft shell outer, so it is a good winter layer for riding and yard work. In very cold weather, add a base layer or hoodie underneath rather than sizing down.
What size should I order if my child is between sizes?
Order the larger size. The jacket has a fitted cut, so the bigger size gives room for a base layer and a little growing space without looking baggy.
Can it be worn while riding?
Yes. The two-way front zip opens from the hem so the jacket sits comfortably when mounted, and the fitted soft shell outer moves with the rider rather than flapping.
Does the jacket have pockets that stay closed?
Yes, the pockets are zipped, which keeps treats, gloves and small essentials secure while riding.
How should the jacket be washed?
Follow the sewn-in care label. Wash it separately from rugs and hook-and-loop fastenings and avoid fabric conditioner, which can affect the performance of technical soft shell fabric.
Is the hood adjustable?
Yes, the hood is adjustable and finished with metal hardware to match the gunmetal detailing on the jacket.
