Which Riding Outfit Is Best for Summer? (Tried & Tested)
Which riding outfit is best for summer? We tested Ariat, Hy Equestrian and Covalliero riding clothes to see what they’re actually like to ride in.
From everyday yard wear to competition outfits, this video breaks down the best summer riding outfits and what to wear horse riding in warm weather.
What it’s actually like wearing Ariat all day
Ariat is one of those brands people rely on, but how does it actually feel across a full day? This set is built for everyday riding, yard jobs, and everything in between.
Article
Ariat tends to fall into that category of brands you rely on without really thinking about it. It’s usually the pieces you reach for when you just want something that works - whether that’s riding, yard jobs, or heading out after.
For spring and summer, that becomes more important. Layers need to handle changing weather without constantly swapping things in and out.

Article
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 wantin...
