EQUIDRY coats are designed by riders, for riders, combining real-world riding experience with exceptional all-weather protection. Every detail is thoughtfully engineered to meet the demands of life both in the saddle and on the yard. From our original oversized coats with a 20,000mm waterproof rating to our fitted waterproof riding jackets packed with equestrian-focused features, you can rely on EQUIDRY to keep you protected from the elements.
EQUIDRY coats are built for riders and outdoor people who spend real time in real weather. Think long, practical coverage, reliable water protection, and rider-first details that make sense from the yard to the saddle. They’re designed to keep you warm, dry, and mobile—without feeling bulky or restrictive when you’re handling horses, walking fences, or staying out for hours on wet, windy days.
The core idea behind an EQUIDRY coat is simple: weatherproof performance tailored to equestrian movement. Regular outdoor jackets can be short, stiff, or awkward on horseback—riding changes everything. You need a coat that shields your legs, doesn’t ride up in the saddle, and still lets you reach, lift, turn, and work comfortably.
EQUIDRY coats are typically chosen by people who ride year-round, train in mixed conditions, or work on yards where you can’t “pause” for the weather. They’re also popular for dog walking, watching competitions, and any activity where you’re standing around in cold rain—because long coverage and practical features make a bigger difference than you’d expect.
In one sentence: EQUIDRY coats aim to deliver full-body, rider-friendly weather protection with thoughtful equestrian details that support movement, comfort, and durability.
The longer length helps keep your upper legs and hips protected—especially important when you’re in the saddle, grooming, or walking around in sideways rain. The goal is coverage without the “tent” feeling, so the coat can drape naturally while still allowing motion.
Equestrian coats often rely on split hems, riding vents, or adjustable panels so the coat can open where it needs to when you sit and close up again when you dismount. This makes the coat more usable across tasks—mounting, bending, or stepping through stable doors—without constantly re-adjusting.
A good outdoor coat doesn’t just “repel” drizzle—it needs to handle sustained rain and wind. EQUIDRY coats are positioned as protective outer layers, typically focusing on keeping water out, reducing wind chill, and maintaining comfort through a long day outside.
Features like secure zips, storm flaps, adjustable cuffs, and drawcord waists can help seal out drafts and prevent rain from driving in. Adjustability also helps fine-tune fit across different layers—light base layers in autumn or thicker insulation in winter.
Comfort is where equestrian outerwear either wins you over or ends up living at the back of the tack room. EQUIDRY coats are typically described and sought out as “workable” coats—meaning they’re not precious, not fiddly, and not designed only for the walk from the car park to the café.
On horseback, comfort comes down to how the coat behaves when you sit: does it bunch? does it pull at the shoulders when you shorten your reins? can you twist to check behind you? A rider-focused cut aims to reduce these friction points so you can concentrate on riding rather than managing your clothing.
On the ground, comfort is about heat retention without clamminess, freedom to lift and carry, and the ability to regulate temperature as your effort changes—mucking out is not the same as standing ringside in January. Many riders choose a coat like this precisely because it bridges those different moments.
If your routine includes early mornings, open fields, or uncovered arenas, you know that “light rain” can turn into a soak-through situation fast. Long coats that prioritize weather protection are often selected for two reasons: they keep the water out longer, and they reduce the wind’s ability to steal warmth from your core.
Wind is often the hidden enemy. Even if you’re not getting drenched, a cold breeze can chill you quickly when you’re stationary. A coat designed to close securely and protect the neck and torso can make winter feel more manageable—especially when you’re waiting for lessons, coaching, or doing turnout and checks.
Tip: For maximum comfort, think in layers: a breathable base layer, a warm mid-layer, and your coat as the weatherproof shell. That way, you can adapt without overheating or feeling restricted.
Stable environments are hard on clothing. There are rough surfaces, sudden snags, muddy splashes, and plenty of movement— reaching for haynets, leaning over stable doors, crouching for boots, and hauling feed. Coats intended for this world usually focus on durable outer materials and robust stitching, plus hardware (zips, toggles, fasteners) that won’t fail when you need them most.
A long coat also has more contact points—gates, fences, walls—so durability isn’t just a “nice-to-have.” It’s the difference between a coat that feels dependable all season and one that starts looking tired after a few wet weeks.
When choosing an EQUIDRY coat, think about how you’ll actually wear it. Will it be your main winter shell over thick layers, or a year-round rain coat over lighter clothing? Do you prefer a closer fit or room for a body protector beneath? The “right” size is usually the one that lets you move freely in the shoulders and arms while still sealing out weather at the cuffs, collar, and hem.
Look for enough space through the chest and shoulders so you can layer without feeling tight when you reach forward or lift. A slightly roomier fit can be more comfortable on long winter days.
Prioritize adjustable waist shaping and closures that let you refine the fit. You can still keep warmth by choosing smart mid-layers rather than sizing up too much.
For riding, also consider how the hem and vents behave in the saddle. A coat that opens cleanly when seated and closes neatly when standing tends to feel more “purpose-built.”
Keeping a weatherproof coat performing well is usually about routine, not fuss. Mud and stable dust can clog outer fabrics and reduce how well they shed water. A gentle clean (following the specific label instructions on your coat) helps maintain its performance and appearance.
Always follow the care label on your specific EQUIDRY coat—materials and coatings can vary, and the label guidance is the safest way to preserve performance.
People don’t buy an equestrian long coat because they want “another jacket.” They buy it because they want fewer compromises: less shivering while waiting for the arena to free up, less soggy clothing after turnout, and less frustration from a coat that fights you every time you mount up. EQUIDRY coats are typically positioned as a reliable, rider-oriented solution—long coverage, weather protection, and practical design that fits into day-to-day horse life.
Whether you’re hacking out in changeable weather, schooling through winter, or simply spending hours outdoors, a coat designed with riding in mind can shift your whole experience from “endure the elements” to “get on with the day.”
