Pikeur riding jackets and coats

Which Pikeur jacket for which use?

For cold, wet days, waterproof winter and quilted jackets as well as quilted coats with a hood are suitable. They should keep out wind and wet while still allowing movement when mounting and riding. Softshell and hybrid jackets are often the all-rounders for spring, autumn and moderate winter days: windproof enough for the way to the yard, but less bulky than a heavy winter coat. Fleece jackets and sweat jackets keep you warm while grooming, lunging or as a mid-layer under a rain jacket. Light rain jackets and ponchos protect you in showers without overheating.

Winter and transitional season

As soon as temperatures drop, it is worth looking at the winter and quilted models in the listing – "Winter" is available in the filter. Hoods, high collars and full-length front zips help against wind in the arena. For very cold days at the yard, many combine a fleece or sweat jacket under a waterproof outer layer (layering). Tips for the cold season can be found under Riding in winter.

Fit and size

Pikeur offers women's and men's models as well as children's sizes. Use the size chart of the respective jacket and consider whether you will wear a jumper underneath. Riding cuts often allow more freedom of movement in the shoulders and arms than everyday jackets. Check the length over the bottom (important in the saddle) and whether the jacket is still comfortable under the girth strap or the body protector.

Material and care

Waterproof and windproof outer fabrics are suitable for rain and wind; fleece and sweat are more breathable but not intended for continuous rain. Softshell lies in between. Wash technical jackets according to the manufacturer's instructions, close zips and Velcro, and avoid tumble dryers that are too hot if the care label forbids it. Only refresh the water repellency after longer use if the manufacturer provides for this for the model.

Combining in your outfit

Jackets and coats work well together with breeches, jumpers and sweatshirts and riding gloves. For your head in the cold season: hats, headbands and scarves. If you want to browse across brands, start with riding jackets or the Pikeur home page Pikeur.

Why a dedicated Pikeur jacket page?

Pikeur is one of the most searched-for jacket brands in the shop. A dedicated subpage helps you find winter coats, hybrid, fleece and rain models without going through the entire jacket range. Filters for size, winter and product type (riding jackets, show jackets) narrow down the selection further. If you want to compare across brands, switch to the general riding jackets or to winter jackets.

Layering at the yard and in the saddle

In winter, many first wear functional underwear, then fleece or sweat and a waterproof Pikeur jacket on top. In the saddle, what counts is that the outer layer is not too stiff and leaves the arms free. For grooming and lunging, the mid-layer alone is often enough. Complete your jackets with warm riding gloves and a hat or headband from the category hats, headbands and scarves.

What you will find in the listing

Besides winter and quilted models, there are hybrid, softshell, fleece and sweat jackets as well as rain jackets and a rain poncho. There are women's and men's models. The exact features (hood, water column, lining) are stated in the respective item description.
