Men's Jumpers, Hoodies & Fleeces

Jumpers vs Hoodies vs Fleece

Knit jumpers offer a smarter appearance and work well for show days and general use. We stock a range of weights and styles. Hoodies are casual and practical for yard work as they're easy to pull on and off over base layers. Fleece midlayers deliver the best warmth-to-weight ratio and are ideal for cold riding and yard work without bulk.

FAQs

What's the warmest jumper option for winter riding?
Mid-weight fleece (200-300g) is excellent for winter riding. A fleece midlayer under a windproof outer layer gives maximum warmth without restricting movement. Wool-blend jumpers also work well for winter.

Can I wear a hoodie for riding in competitions?
Hoodies are fine for casual riding and schooling. For competition, a smart jumper or jacket is more appropriate. Always check competition rules if planning to wear a hoodie at an event.

What size jumper should I buy for riding?
Choose a fitted size that allows arm movement without bulking under your jacket. Try on if possible. Most riding brands size true to normal. A size that feels snug in the shop is usually right as it will move with your body when riding.

Are fleece midlayers suitable as outer layers when riding?
Fleece works well as an outer layer in dry conditions, but it retains water. For wet weather, pair fleece with a waterproof outer layer. In rain, moisture-wicking base layer plus fleece plus waterproof gives the best balance.
