BOSS Equestrian Rain Jacket Louise - Women
Equestrian rain jackets, riding raincoats and waterproof riding pants
Horses need riding, feeding and turning out whatever the forecast says. Our equestrian rainwear collection brings together horse riding rain jackets, long riding raincoats and waterproof riding pants for women, men and children. You will find brands such as Samshield, Pikeur, Kingsland, Helly Hansen, Cavalleria Toscana, LeMieux, Equiline and Kentucky Horsewear.
Equestrian rain jackets and riding raincoats for women and men
A short equestrian rain jacket gives you the most freedom in the saddle and layers easily over a bodywarmer or sweater. A long riding raincoat adds coverage over your thighs, which you will appreciate on a hack, while teaching or during a long day on the yard. The range runs from lightweight shells for summer showers to heat-sealed jackets for persistent rain and quilted raincoats for colder months. The largest part of the range is riding raincoats and rain jackets for women, from fitted short jackets to long quilted coats, alongside men's, unisex and kids' styles.
Waterproof horse riding pants and over-breeches
Wet breeches are cold, heavy and uncomfortable in the saddle. Waterproof riding pants, rain trousers and over-breeches pull on over your riding breeches when the rain starts and come off again before you enter the ring. White rain pants are popular at shows for keeping competition breeches clean and dry in the warm-up.
Rainwear for competition days
A transparent rain jacket keeps your show jacket visible, so you stay dry without hiding your competition outfit. Add white rain breeches and you can walk the course, warm up and wait at the ring in a downpour.
What to look for in a raincoat for horse riding
- Sealed seams: taped or heat-sealed seams stop water coming through the stitching, where most jackets leak first.
- Breathability: riding and mucking out are hard work, so choose a fabric that lets moisture out as well as keeping rain off.
- A cut for the saddle: a two-way zip, back vents or a riding slit let the coat sit over the saddle instead of bunching up.
- A helmet-friendly hood: adjustable or removable, so it does not block your view.
- Quiet fabric: less rustle means less to worry a sharp or young horse.
- Packability: a rain jacket that folds small can live in your grooming bag all season.

Frequently asked questions
What should I wear for horse riding in the rain?
Start with a waterproof horse riding rain jacket with sealed seams and add rain pants or over-breeches over your breeches. Underneath, wear thin layers you can take off as you warm up instead of one thick one. Finish with gloves that keep their grip when wet and boots that can handle a muddy yard.
What should I look for in a riding raincoat for women?
Choose a women's cut that is shaped at the waist but still has room for a layer underneath, with a two-way zip or back vents so it sits well in the saddle. A long raincoat covers your thighs; a short rain jacket gives more freedom of movement.
What is the difference between an equestrian rain jacket and a normal raincoat?
An equestrian rain jacket is cut for the saddle. It usually has a two-way zip or back vents so it sits over the saddle, sleeves long enough for arms held forward, and a hood that works with a helmet. Many also use a quieter fabric that is less likely to unsettle your horse.
What is the difference between waterproof and water-repellent?
Water-repellent fabric has a finish that makes light rain bead and roll off, but it soaks through in a proper shower. Waterproof fabric blocks water under pressure, and its seams are taped or heat-sealed. For anything longer than a quick dash across the yard, choose waterproof.
What does heat-sealed mean on a rain jacket?
Stitching leaves tiny needle holes, and that is where water gets in first. On a heat-sealed or taped jacket, the seams are covered with waterproof tape bonded on with heat. The whole garment then keeps water out, not only the fabric panels.
Can I wear rain pants over my riding breeches?
Yes, that is what rain pants and over-breeches are made for. They are cut to pull on over your breeches, so you can put them on when the rain starts and take them off before you ride your test or round. White pairs keep competition breeches clean in the warm-up.
Why do riders wear a transparent rain jacket at shows?
A clear rain jacket goes over your show jacket and keeps the rain off while your competition outfit stays visible. It is light and folds small enough for a grooming bag. Check the dress rules of your federation or organiser if you plan to wear it in the ring.
Should I choose a short rain jacket or a long riding raincoat?
A short rain jacket suits active riding and layers easily. A long riding raincoat covers your thighs and keeps more of you dry when you are standing still: teaching, grooming at a show or watching from the side of the arena. If you ride and coach, a long coat with a two-way zip and back vents covers both.
Can I wear a rain jacket over an airbag vest?
Only if the jacket leaves enough room for the vest to inflate fully. Follow the instructions of your airbag manufacturer, which specify how much extra space an outer layer needs. If in doubt, contact us or ask in store before you order.
How do I wash a waterproof riding jacket?
Close all zips and fastenings and wash at a low temperature on a gentle cycle with a mild or technical detergent. Skip fabric softener, because it affects the waterproof finish. When rain stops beading on the surface, top up with a wash-in or spray-on proofer. The care label always comes first.
Do you sell riding rainwear for children and men?
Yes. The collection includes kids' rain jackets and raincoats from size 104 to 176, men's rain jackets and unisex rain pants. Use the gender and size filters to see what is in stock in your size.
How fast is delivery, and can I return rainwear?
We ship worldwide. Orders to Belgium and the Netherlands usually arrive 1–2 business days after dispatch. You can also choose Click & Collect in our stores. Returns are possible within 14 calendar days through our return portal.
