The Royal Scot Neve Aquarobe is at a bargain Black Friday price when compared to its rival brands jackets from the likes of EquiDry and Reincoat.

H&H’s Georgia Guerin added this to her Black Friday equestrian deals round up last year and it sold out. Last year it only went as low as £79, so this year sees an even bigger saving. The Royal Scot brand is only available in Naylors, Millets, Blacks, Ultimate Outdoors and Go Outdoors, which are all part of the same company, and is only occasionally seen on Amazon – so this really is the lowest price you’ll find.
Royal Scot Neve Aquarobe key features
This style of long riding coat is extremely popular amongst riders – versatility and oversized fit make them perfect in the saddle and they’re also a great option to wear over all your riding kit. The oversized style means that you can easily pop it over one of the best body protectors if you’re waiting for your class at a competition, for example. The Neve Aquarobe is a great alternative to some of the more expensive options out there and it has all the key features you’d want as a rider, which are often missing on other non-equestrian alternatives.
The Neve has a two-layered waterproof fabric and a waterproof rating of 5,000mm, which is the minimum rating for a jacket to call itself waterproof (over 5,000mm is ‘very waterproof’ so it’ll be more than capable of shrugging off the worst downpours). Inside it has a deep pile fleece lining and a large fleece-lined hood with a popper so it can be pinned back when you are not wearing it with your riding hat.
Elsewhere the Neve has a full-length two-way centre front zipper with a large zip puller for ease of use. Two zipped hand pockets and one internal security pocket means you have plenty of room for hand warming and storing items like your phone securely. Adjustable Velcro cuffs and leg straps ensure a close fit and no flapping around when you’re in the saddle.
