By Katrina Wheeler


A Pikeur jacket is the garment to be seen in for those that take their horse riding seriously. This equine and country clothing retailer offers a wide range of ladies competition jackets. These come in both short and longer lengths and a few different styles from classic to more modern. Ladies have a few materials to choose from such as tweed, polyester mix and soft shell fabric. Some of the colors available include black, grey, bronze and red.

The competition riding jackets for men tend to be fairly sober in appearance and the options available come in black, dark grey or navy. The jackets are stylish though and gents have a few choices in detail. This can include the length of the jacket, how many pockets to have and they type of collar to opt for.

While the garments on offer are mostly aimed at adults, the company also offers a competition jacket for children. This is aimed at the little girl that enjoys riding and comes in a short style with side slits. It is offered in navy and black, with a choice of either a plain or velvet collar. The washable fabric makes it easy to clean

Pikeur has a line of dressage jackets and coats. These are also known as tails because of the longer length, which typically hangs down to the back of the thighs. Both ladies and gents dressage coats are available and are produced in black or navy, with the dressage discipline of horse riding competition usually requiring conservative colors such as these. The garments are manufactured in wool or a polyester and wool blend

Pikeur does not focus entirely on competition outfits and also stocks casual jackets. These are designed to keep riders comfortable, with fleece or quilted down jackets keeping out the cold while those with hoods provide a little head protection. They are not only designed to be practical though, with styles such as blousons also being fashionable. The casual range is predominantly for ladies although gents will find one or two for them.

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.

The company does not only make jackets for riding and there are a few options for those that want to retain the Pikeur look in their everyday life. The Latessa ladies jacket is an example of this. This mid-length jacket is designed to keep the wearer warm and has stylish features such as chest and waist pockets, stand up collar and back adjustment to ensure a perfect 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.
