0 Riding In Style 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.

Apart from competition apparel, Pikeur also offers a range of casual wear for riding. Some of the garments available include fleece jackets for anyone that wants a little more warmth and hooded styles to provide cover for the head. Other casual styles include quilted down jackets and stylish blousons. While the majority of the casual styles are aimed at women, there are some available for men.

Riding in the rain does not necessarily have to be uncomfortable, with wet weather gear designed to make it more bearable. Pikeur waterproof jackets are made with keeping a rider dry in mind. The taped seams, as well as the elasticized sleeves and waist help to keep water out. The integrated hood will also keep the head drier.

Taking the style from the stables to everyday life is possible, with the company offering clothing intended for use away from riding. Ladies can do this with the stylish Latessa jacket. This three-quarter length jacket looks good matched with riding or other clothing and is meant for cold weather wear. Practical features include four large pockets, a back vent for comfort and a stand-up collar with draw cord.

There are two basic ways to get your hands on a Pikeur jacket. The first is a ready-made garment, with the company having most of their jackets available for sale in this style. These came in many sizes to enable someone to find the perfect fit. For those that want to add extra touches to a jacket, a custom service is offered. This can enable a rider to wear something unique.
