Riding Vests

At Unamari we have a wide selection of quality riding jackets for women from our own popular brands Catago and Equipage. On this page you'll find riding vests that are perfect as an extra insulating layer for fall or spring, when the temperature may not be quite low enough for a riding jacket or high enough to ride without an outer layer.

Why choose a riding vest?

There are many benefits to using a riding vest for your riding. That's why many riders have riding vests in their wardrobe for both daily training and competitions. The benefits of using Vests for riding are:

• Incredibly comfortable to ride in
• Good customization options
• Tight-fitting for extra protection against wind
• Full freedom of movement
• Pockets for storing mobile, wallet and more
• Many colors, materials and designs to choose from

A riding vest is also often designed to be reasonably fitted or tight-fitting in such a way that it doesn't flap and the wind can't touch the vest and make it make noise in the wind, scaring your horse.

In addition, a riding vest is designed for the life it lives. Anyone familiar with equestrian sports knows that everyday life with horses involves a lot of dirt and dust when you walk around the horse in the stable. Your outerwear needs to be able to withstand that.

What type of riding vest should you choose?

When choosing a riding vest, it's about more than just design. You need to think about the time of year, how much freedom of movement you want and how much clothing you want to be able to wear underneath. In addition, material, thermal insulation and functionality all play a big role. A riding vest can be anything from a light layer for training and transitional weather to a warm, protective layer in the winter cold. Here's an overview of the most popular types - and what makes each one unique.

Fleece riding vest

A fleece riding vest is ideal if you want a lightweight, breathable and comfortable vest that can be used on its own or under a jacket. Fleece wicks moisture away from the body, keeping you dry and warm even when you sweat during exercise. You can choose between the fluffy teddy fleece for a cozy and modern look or the classic flat fleece for a more smooth and sporty look. The fleece vest is perfect for transitional periods or as a midlayer in winter.

Benefits:

• Breathable and moisture-wicking
• Lightweight, flexible and good freedom of movement
• Can be used all year round as a midlayer

Thermo riding vest

A thermal riding vest is an excellent choice if you want a thin, light and comfortable vest that still keeps you warm. The thermal material consists of small air pockets that effectively insulate against the cold without the vest becoming heavy or bulky. Thermal vests are perfect for active riders because they allow free movement in the saddle while protecting against wind and chilly temperatures. They are also easy to wear under a jacket when the weather gets extra cold.

Benefits:

• Light weight and high insulation
• Perfect for transitional weather and training
• Minimal bulk - ideal under jackets

Padded riding vest

A padded riding vest has the characteristic lined design with horizontal channels for both a classic look and extra warmth. It is often lined with synthetic material, which provides warm comfort without requiring much maintenance. It's perfect for fall and early spring when the weather changes and you want a warm but still light layer. Many models also have a wind-resistant surface so you can ride outside without getting cold and wet.

Benefits:

• Warm and durable
• Requires minimal care
• Classic design that never goes out of style

Down riding vest

A down riding vest - also called Puffer Vests - is the warmest type on the market. It's filled with natural down or synthetic fibers that create a thick layer of insulation that keeps body heat in even in freezing weather. Although it seems bulky, it feels surprisingly light to wear. It's ideal for winter riding, stable work and walking in the cold. Many down jackets also have a water-repellent surface and elasticated armholes to keep out wind and water.

Benefits:

• Solid thermal insulation
• Light weight and high comfort
• Perfect for winter and cold days

Body protectors with extra safety

Body protectors are perfect for protection against the weather, but if you're looking for more protection against accidents, a safety riding vest is what you need. At Unamari, we have both back protectors and Vests with Reflexes to give you the protection you need while riding. It's important that riders understand the importance of safety while riding, and a Body protectors can be a great choice.

Find the right size

When choosing riding vests for women, the fit is just as important as the material. A properly fitting vest will allow you to move freely in the saddle while retaining warmth without feeling bulky.

A riding vest should fit snugly but still allow you to move your shoulders and arms freely while riding. If you plan to use the Vests as an outer layer in winter, choose a size that allows for a thicker sweater or jacket underneath. If you're using it as a mid-layer, choose a more fitted model for optimal comfort and thermal efficiency.
