Fashionable Riding With A Pikeur Jacket

By Katrina Wheeler


Competitive horse trial riding needs to be carried out in the correct outfit and a Pikeur jacket is made with this in mind. Their jackets for women have a few variations in look and detail so a rider can find one that suits them best. Features that can vary from garment to garment include style, length, material and color. This ranges from traditional brown tweed to contemporary red soft shell jackets.

Men can buy their competition riding jackets from Pikeur, with a few selections available. These come in darker colors such as navy, grey and black. While the jackets available look similar in style there are a few noticeable differences. The number of pockets can vary, as can the length of the jacket and the style of the collar.

Pikeur is set up predominantly for the adult market although does provide an option for kids. The Skarlett competition jacket is designed for girls and is a shorter length garment made from washable material. Girls have the option of a navy or black color and can change the plain collar to velvet for a little added style.

Dressage tails are available for both men and women, with these getting their name from the distinctive length of material hanging down the back of the riders legs. Competitors usually go through their dressage paces in darker colors, so the tails on offer come in either black or navy. Material options include High Wool, which is almost one hundred percent wool or Cool Wool, which is a mix with polyester.

Away from the competition ground riders can opt for one of the Pikeur casual riding jackets. These come in a variety of styles and materials from practical fleece or down garments to more stylish blouson jackets. This gives plenty of options to find the perfect choice. This is especially the case for ladies, with the majority of the casual wear designed for them.

Riding is an all-weather sport and for wetter days a Pikeur waterproof jacket is a sensible choice. Wearing one will keep a rider drier out in the rain and make for a more pleasant ride. Features incorporated into the design that help with this include taped seams to stop water ingress, elasticated cuffs and waist for a tight seal, and attached hoods that can be used when needed.

The Pikeur style extends to life away from horse riding and there are a few jackets that can be worn at any time. Women have options such as the Latessa, which is a three-quarter length jacket meant for cooler weather. As well as being warm, it is also a practical choice. The chest and pat pockets provide some space to carry essentials and a vent and adjustment feature in the rear allow it to be altered for a better fit.

A ready made Pikeur jacket is the simplest and quickest way to buy. Most of their competition and casual jackets are available off-the-rack in all sizes to suit small to large body shapes. However, they also offer the chance to customize their competition jackets and this can be a way to add some unique touches so that a rider can personalize their outfit.
