A Quality Essential

As a dedicated recreational trail rider, good rain gear is a must for enjoyable rides. Especially when we are out for several hours. This parka is made for us. WATERPROOF & BREATHABLE material, zippered pockets, velcro sleeve closures, the back unsnaps to cover the cantle to prevent the rain dripping down your backside; Quality Workmanship throughout. I ride English and wear half-chaps, so the parka length gives me very good coverage w/o a lot of bulk. I especially like the hood which really does fit over my helmet and has elastic drawstrings to secure it that don't get in the way when not in use. I received this some weeks ago, but waited until we went on a 4-day trail adventure in order to be able to give an honest review, At that time of year (Late May - early June) in upstate NY, the weather can change very suddenly, and boy did it! We encountered Rain, Wind & Hail along with Sunshine; so the "packabiltiy" of this parka is Really Nice. My only slight peeve is that in order to ride comfortably and securely when the parka is in "pack mode", I had to make a cross-chest tie to secure the shoulder straps. I am definitely a horsewoman on a budget, so I was only able to buy this since it had a very significant discount at the time and of course free shipping (I'm a SmartPaker) helps too. I expect to enjoy years of use with it. It is More than Worth every Penny!

Runs large but very comfy!

Here in Maine it tends to be rainy in the fall and spring (which is otherwise the best time to ride!) so I bought this so that I can still enjoy riding during my favorite seasons without getting soaked from the pop-up showers! It is light weight enough to wear even during a summer evening and roomy enough to layer underneath if you want to wear it earlier in the spring or later in the fall. It breaths and moves much better than a traditional rain coat but is still water proof. I love that the hood fits over a helmet because as most equestrians know, a hood is useless on a rainy day if it doesn't! Some other cool features: it has an interior pocket for holding your phone or whatever you don't want to put in saddle bags; it also has draw strings inside to snug it up at the waist while still letting it be more open to cover your legs a bit while mounted. It also has straps so you can take it off and use it like a back pack, a clever idea if you plan to dismount and take a short hike to have a packed lunch somewhere on the trail. It does run big, I wear a 12-14 so I ordered a large but easily could have ordered a medium. I'll keep it because of the layering I plan to do under it but if you are just looking for a rain jacket, size down when you order.

Just what I've been looking for!

Every detail was considered in the design of this jacket. I haven't worn it in heavy rain yet, but from what I've read, it should keep me dry. It does run large, but I wanted something that would fit over my heavy winter coat, and this did the trick. I am even getting one for my husband to wear for spring skiing!
