Long Riding Jackets

When the weather gets wet, windy and cold, a long riding jacket is a real must have for any rider. Unlike a short riding jacket, a long jacket provides extra coverage over the thighs, hips and lower back - the areas that are often most exposed while riding. This means you get far better protection against cold, wind, snow and rain - without compromising on flexibility and freedom of movement in the saddle.

Why many riders choose a long riding jacket

At Unamari, we're seeing an increasing demand for long riding jackets, and we understand why. With extra length, a slit at the back and often a detachable hood, the long riding jacket is both practical and comfortable - whether you ride daily or just enjoy a weekend horseback ride. We offer many high-quality long riding jackets that are made with a focus on windproofness, waterproofness, breathability and thermal insulation - all essential in both winter and spring.

Because of the good protection against wind and weather, long riding jackets have become a necessary part of every rider's wardrobe. It simply makes it much easier to stay warm in the fall and winter months. So browse the range and find a long riding jacket that best suits your style.

Benefits of riding with a long riding jacket

A long riding jacket isn't just a stylish option - it's a practical and functional choice that can make a big difference when riding in changing weather. Where a short riding jacket often only covers the upper body, a long riding jacket provides significantly more coverage and thus better protection, especially in cold and wet seasons.

More warmth and protection in all weather conditions

The biggest advantage of long models is the ability to protect against cold and moisture. The extra length ensures that the jacket covers your entire back and upper thighs - even when you're sitting down in the saddle. This means you'll stay dry, warm and comfortable even when the weather turns snowy, windy and cold.

Many of the long riding jackets in our large selection are also made with windproofness, waterproofness and high breathability - a combination that's ideal for both active riding and stable work in winter.

Comfort and freedom of movement - even in the saddle

Although a long jacket covers more, it doesn't mean less flexibility. Thanks to functional details like a back slit and ergonomic cut, a good long riding jacket ensures full freedom of movement in the saddle. You can easily shank, stand up in a light seat and move around the horse without the jacket getting in the way.

With smart solutions like a detachable hood, inner cuffs and adjustable waist, you also get a riding jacket that is practical, stylish and tailored to the rider's needs - whether you choose from our multiple models in XS, XXL or something in between.

How to choose from several models of long riding jackets

The market for long riding jackets is vast and finding the riding jacket that best suits your needs can be a challenge. That's why it's important to know what to look for when comparing models and choosing your next riding jacket.

What to look for in materials and details?

A good riding jacket should first and foremost keep you warm and dry. Therefore, look for different materials with high water resistance and breathability. This will ensure you stay comfortable - both when you're moving and standing still. Many long models are made with technical fabrics that keep out the cold, wind and snow, while wicking excess heat away from the body.

Details like a detachable hood, two-way zipper, back slit and adjustable cuffs can make a big difference in your daily use. These features make the jacket more flexible and adaptable to the changing needs of an active day with the horse.

At Unamari you'll find both short and long models for winter riding. We stock long riding jackets from Catago and Equipage that are perfect for all riders.

Should it be lined, waterproof or windproof?

Your choice of riding jacket should depend on when and how you use it. For winter and cold days, a lined long riding jacket with heavy insulation is the obvious choice. It will keep you warm even when you're out for hours.

If the jacket is to be used for transitional periods like spring, a lightweight riding jacket long model with thin lining or no insulation but with high water resistance may be more appropriate. If you already have a good winter riding jacket, a lightweight windproof jacket can be a great addition, providing extra coverage without being too warm.

High quality long riding jackets for serious riders

If you take your riding seriously - whether you ride daily, train purposefully or just want to be well dressed in the stable - a high quality long riding jacket is an absolute must. The right jacket can make a noticeable difference in both comfort and performance, especially when the weather turns harsh.

When design, function and durability go hand in hand
