The 'Hybrid' UPVF50+ Summer Riding Jacket - Grey

We love 2-IN-1 products (just look at our 2-IN-1 Saddlepad range! It matches these jackets), so we decided to engineer these jackets to fit not just as a jacket, but a handy base layer too! Don't believe us? Have a look through our gallery on these products, they are proving to be incredible base layers ;)

Do you ever just stare up at the sun and contemplate life's greater meaning? No? Good, neither do we. Staring at the sun hurts your eyes! Do you know what else hurts when exposed to sunlight... Your skin! We know that hard-working equestrians, do all they can to avoid heavy layers and sweaty clothes in the warmer months of the year, with some even riding in crop tops and tanks leaving skin exposed and prone to sunburn. Thankfully, we've designed a jacket suitable for ALL equestrians, which keeps you cool and keeps your skin protected all day. The best thing is, you can still wear just a crop top or T-shirt underneath, giving your skin the ability to thermoregulate and stay protected from the sun. We just love that for you.

Here's a fun fact, darker colours heat up faster in the sun than lighter colours, which is why running on bitumen is never a good idea. Well, it's never a good idea anyway, but you get the point. Moving on from that fun fact, we've specifically chosen the primary colours of these summer jackets to reflect sunlight, not absorb it. This keeps you cooler, whilst looking stylish and staying sun safe. For this reason, these jackets are not available in darker colours.

By using a light, breathable, quick-drying and hygroscopic fabric, we've ensured these stunning jackets don't trap heat, don't increase sweating and don't awkwardly stick to your skin when riding. This not only helps you feel less gross but also reduces the number of times you need to change your clothes when it's 37 degrees and you're wondering why on earth you chose to ride that day. If you did choose to ride that day, we had you in mind when designing this.

Just like our other products, we designed this for everyone. We've kept this jacket lighter and full of flow for when you want to look and feel your best. A casual fit means this jacket can be worn over anything from just a crop top to a T-shirt or base layer, whichever undergarment tickles your fancy. With this design, everybody wins.
