Drizabone Full Length Riding Coat
A high quality Full Length, Waxed Cotton Riding Coat from Drizabone This is a fabulous coat! It was sent to me from Australia by a work colleague of my father's. Unfortunately I am only 4'11" tall, so it kind of drowns me. I wore it once, some time ago, and it's been on a hanger ever since. Everything about these coats just smacks of quality and 'fit for purpose'. On the one occasion that I did wear this coat, it was a cold, windy day and I just didn't fancy the thought of all the drafts that a short coat cannot prevent. I had on layers of clothes but movement was not restricted, due to the unique sizing strategy they have. The Ankle straps (can be seen in my photo of the rear vent),do a great job of keeping the length of the coat in place, but the fabric moves with you. The really deep rear vent keeps drafts from going up to your back, so no cold in the kidneys, and I would imagine that on a rainy day its going to keep both you and your saddle dry, because it covers it all, and, the fixed cape is not going to fly up, due to the tethering which goes under your arm. I could go on and on about the benefits of owning one of these coats - they simply are a must for the all-weather rider. So, GRAB YOURSELF A BARGAIN BEFORE THE WEATHER TURNS REALLY NASTY!!!
