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.

The competition riding jackets for men tend to be fairly sober in appearance and the options available come in black, dark grey or navy. The jackets are stylish though and gents have a few choices in detail. This can include the length of the jacket, how many pockets to have and they type of collar to opt for.

Plenty of kids enjoy riding and this can especially be the case with girls. Pikeur cater to this market through their competition jacket aimed specifically at young ladies. This shorter length garment is offered in two colors, with black or navy the choices. Opting for a velvet collar rather than plain can add a nice touch and the easily laundered material makes it the perfect choice for children.

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 in the rain does not necessarily have to be uncomfortable, with wet weather gear designed to make it more bearable. Pikeur waterproof jackets are made with keeping a rider dry in mind. The taped seams, as well as the elasticized sleeves and waist help to keep water out. The integrated hood will also keep the head drier.

The Pikeur style extends to life away from horse riding and there are a few jackets that can be worn at any time. Women have options such as the Latessa, which is a three-quarter length jacket meant for cooler weather. As well as being warm, it is also a practical choice. The chest and pat pockets provide some space to carry essentials and a vent and adjustment feature in the rear allow it to be altered for a better 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.
