Welcome to our independent group test of gilets for horse riders. All of the gilets in this group test have been put through their paces by event rider and BHSII Lisa Spence. Find out what she thought below.
Official description
The Equisafety quilted hi-viz gilet is fitted, elegant, flattering and comfortable to wear. It has two hidden zips at the back allowing extension over the back of the saddle, while 3oz padding gives the wearer warmth without causing overheating. A deep storm collar is curved around the chin for extra comfort, or it can be folded over if the weather is warmer. This reflective, high viz gilet has a windshield collar with extra reflective piping around the top. All zips have easy grab pullers, plus two large waterproof front zipped pockets.
