Stay Bright, Warm and Visible with Equisafety – Christmas Gift Ideas
Hi-Viz feature on Equisafety
Hi-Viz is essential all year round as visibility can be poor no matter what the season, making it essential riding gear whenever hacking out or using the road.
There’s a great selection of items now available for horse and rider, from waterproof sheets for the horse to hat bands and waistcoats for the rider.
Why not add hi-viz gear to your Christmas wish list, so you and your horse are prepared for whatever the weather, spring, summer, autumn and winter.
Here we take a look at a selection of the latest and most loved Equisafety jackets.
NEW for 2017 – Reversible Inverno Jacket
High visibility one side – luxurious black quilted on the other, yes it’s reversible
The fluorescent side is made using a 100% waterproof, lightweight, breathable fabric with taped seams; which when combined with its high-performance design, undoubtedly makes this jacket the best on the market. It comes with an exclusive pull-down warning triangle, which fastens at the sides of the jacket, and which can be removed when not required.
However, turn it inside out and it becomes a soft, luxurious black quilt jacket. This makes the jacket very versatile as it can be used while hacking; but also while away from the horse when you do not want to draw attention to yourself, but still being kept very warm and comfortable. The jacket has two sizes of quilting, with smaller quilted panels on the waist to give a slimming effect to the wearer.
Features include: two 2-way zips and four large, zipped pockets, with invisible zips, ideal for phones or keys. The jacket also has two side zips that can be opened when riding to prevent the jacket rising. Fully washable at 30° using non-bio and please hang to dry.
Colours: Red-Orange; Yellow; Pink and Polite. Sizes: Small (12) – 40 inch Chest; Medium (14) – 42 inch Chest; Large (16) – 44 inch Chest; Xlarge (18) 46 inch Chest.
RRP: £99.99
