Lightweight riding clothes tend to make or break spring and summer riding. Too heavy and you’re overheating within minutes, too thin and you end up cold the second the weather turns.
Covalliero’s spring/summer riding outfit sits somewhere in the middle, designed for those in-between days where you’re doing a bit of everything, from riding to yard jobs, without wanting to keep changing.
I tried the full outfit on our YouTube to see how it actually feels once it’s on and moving.
If you’re comparing options, it’s worth browsing riding clothing for sale on Horsemart, or looking at our Hy Equestrian and Ariat outfit reviews to see how different styles compare.

This is one of those jackets that makes sense as soon as you put it on.
The quilted front gives you a bit of warmth through your body, but the mesh panels down the sides and arms stop it from feeling heavy. It’s the kind of balance that works well in spring, especially when you start off cold but warm up quickly once you’re riding.
It’s easy to move in, and the fit sits quite neatly without feeling tight or oversized.
What stands out:
- Quilted front for light warmth
- Mesh panels for breathability
- Easy movement through the arms
- Works well for changeable weather
I found myself thinking this is exactly what you’d reach for on those in-between days - cool enough to want a layer, but not enough to justify anything thick.
The colour stands out as well without being too much. It works just as easily on the yard as it would in a lesson.
Covalliero Sweat Jacket Review
Dark Navy | £62.95

This feels less like a typical riding jacket and more like something you’d wear anyway.
It’s soft straight away, with a bit of stretch to it, so it doesn’t feel restrictive when you’re moving around. There’s no stiffness to it, which makes it easy to throw on and forget about.
What it’s good for:
- Yard days when you want something comfortable
- Spring evenings when it cools down
- Throwing on without overthinking it
It’s quite a light layer, so it’s not one for cold mornings, but it works well for evenings or when you just want something comfortable on.
Covalliero Riding Tights Mesh Review
Dark Navy | £54.95

These are clearly designed with warmer days in mind.
They’re lightweight, but still feel like they’ve got enough structure to hold their shape. They don’t feel flimsy, which can sometimes be the case with lighter tights.
The mesh panels help once you’re doing more, especially riding or working on the yard, and stop them from feeling too warm.
Key features:
- Lightweight, breathable fabric
- Mesh panels for airflow
- Belt loops for a more breech-style look
- Phone pockets on both sides
- Full seat grip for security
Fit-wise, they stay in place and feel secure, which is what you want if you’re wearing them all day.
Covalliero Polo Shirt Review
Light Berry | £35.95

This is probably the easiest piece in the set. It’s soft, lightweight, and just comfortable as soon as you put it on. It sits close without feeling tight, and doesn’t cling when it’s warmer.
Where it works best:
- Everyday riding
- Lessons and clinics
- General yard wear
It’s the kind of top that works for everything, everyday riding, lessons, and yard jobs without needing to change.
The colour ties in well with the rest of the outfit, but it also works just as well on its own.
What it’s like as a full outfit
Worn together, the main thing that stands out is how straightforward it feels. Nothing feels heavy or overdone, and you’re not adjusting things constantly. It works across the day without really thinking about it.
As a full set, it works because:
- Layers balance warmth and breathability
- Everything is easy to move in
- You don’t need to change between jobs
- It suits both riding and yard work
The jacket handles cooler starts without needing to come off straight away, the tights are light enough for warmer weather but still feel secure, and the polo is the sort of piece you’ll keep reaching for.
Final thoughts
This isn’t a collection that’s trying to stand out for the sake of it. It’s practical, comfortable, and built for everyday riding, the kind of outfit that fits into what you’re already doing, rather than something you have to plan around.
If you’re looking for:
- Lightweight summer riding clothes
- Easy, everyday yard wear
- Pieces you can wear all day
For spring and summer, that’s usually what ends up getting worn the most.
If you’re riding regularly this season, it’s also worth keeping an eye on horses for sale on Horsemart, especially if you’re training more, competing, or thinking about your next step.
