Riding In Style With A Pikeur Jacket

By Katrina Wheeler


Those that want to look their best out riding should consider a Pikeur Jacket. The ladies competition garments they have for sale are some of the best around. These are offered in varying lengths and while some of the styles are traditional others are more contemporary. Fabrics range from traditional tweed to a modern soft shell material and there is also choice in color from conservative black or grey to brighter red.

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.

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 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 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.
