Heated Equestrian Clothing: Warmth at the touch of a button

Heated Equestrian Clothing: active warmth for winter days

Heated equestrian clothing has built in heating elements powered by a battery or power bank. This keeps your feet, hands, back or neck warm even in frost, whether you spend hours at the yard, wait around at a show or hack out at walk. The range includes heated socks, heated gloves, heated gilets, heated scarves, a heated belt, heated breeches and a heated parka.

How the heating works

The heating elements sit where you lose heat fastest, for example at the toes, the backs of the hands or around the lower back. A button usually lets you choose between several heat settings. The higher the setting, the shorter the battery lasts. In mild cold the lowest setting is often enough. Charge the power bank fully before heading to the yard and take a spare on long days. Remove the battery and cable before washing.

Who heated clothing is for

Heated clothing is ideal for anyone who feels the cold, for winter hacks, long show days and early morning yard work. Instructors standing in a cold indoor school benefit too. Combine heated pieces with layering: put a windproof jacket over a heated gilet so the warmth stays with you. That way you can wear thinner layers overall and stay supple in the saddle.

Frequently asked questions

How long does the battery last in heated socks?
It depends on the heat setting, the outside temperature and the battery size. On a low setting it lasts much longer than on the highest. For long days a second charged power bank is well worth having.

Can I wash heated clothing?
Yes, most items are washable once you have removed the battery and cable connector. Wash them gently at a low temperature and let them dry completely before reconnecting the battery. Follow the care label sewn into the garment.

Is heated clothing safe for riding?
The heating elements run on low voltage and are designed to be worn on the body. Make sure cables cannot catch on the saddle or reins, and keep the power bank in a closed pocket. If you get too warm, simply turn it down a setting.
