5 Fall Apparel Favorites for Horseback Riders
Fall is a beautiful time of year for long rides surrounded by breathtaking foliage. Unfortunately, Fall weather can be unpredictable and changes quickly, especially if you live in a higher elevation. Having the right apparel to keep you warm and dry will allow you to enjoy your Fall ride, regardless of what weather you encounter.
Here are our top 5 favorite riding apparel to wear in the Fall to keep you warm and comfortable.
HKM Allure Rain Jacket
When shopping for a Fall jacket you should look for waterproof and windproof fabrics. These will offer you more protection as the weather changes. Keep in mind some wind and waterproof jackets can make a lot of noise. If your horse is sensitive to this noise, seek out a quieter material.
The HKM Allure Rain Jacket is one of our favorites for Fall because it combines waterproof and windproof features with a breathable fabric. This jacket gives you protection from wind and rain, with the freedom of movement you need in the saddle.
If you are planning to layer under your jacket, consider a vest or a light sweatshirt. Make sure to pick breathable material that allows for plenty of movement.
The Montar Everly Mon-Tech Polo With Long Sleeves is perfect for layering or wearing on its own during temperate weather. The highly functional Mon-tech fabric is breathable and sweat absorbent, which ensures a comfortable feeling even when you work hard riding your horse.
Ella 37.5 Long Sleeve Schooling Shirt
During warmer Fall days, a long sleeve shirt might be the best option. The Ella Shirt is a classic schooling shirt with a twist! The Ella Training Shirt has been updated with 37.5® technology. This patented thermoregulation technology has been proven to help your body manage its core temperature and therefore, increase stamina.
It keeps you comfortable by helping your body to maintain an optimum core temperature of 37.5° Celsius (99.5° Fahrenheit) which is ideal for peak athletic performance. The particles are naturally derived and work for the life of the product (it will never wash out!). The signature mesh panels give the Ella her unique, updated look and help you stand apart while maintaining a polished look.
Romfh Sarafina Full Seat Breeches
As you transition from Summer to Fall gear, look for thicker riding pants to provide more warmth. If you are anticipating riding in a lot of rain, there are several waterproof riding pants available. If not, pick riding pants for warmth and comfort.
While breeches are certainly not a Fall specific item of clothing, it is hard to resist the beautiful Fall colors that Romfh Sarafina breeches come in. These mid-rise breeches are super comfortable and have a very flattering contoured waistband. The vertical stretch suede is the softest, most comfortable material available on the market.
HKM Winter Riding Gloves
One of the hardest parts of Fall riding is cold hands and feet. Switching out your light summer riding gloves for a slightly warmer, wind-resistant glove can make a big difference. Look for gloves that offer warmth, flexibility, and provide a good grip. The HKM Winter Riding Gloves will keep your hands warm with a fleece lining, but are also flexible for a comfortable ride.
