Scarves for Riders: Protection Against Icy Wind and Drafts
The sensitive neck and throat area cools down quickly in low temperatures or strong winds. Especially when riding or sweeping the barn aisle, you are often exposed to uncomfortable drafts. A good scarf for riders closes the gap between the jacket collar and helmet, keeps the heat close to the body, and reliably protects against colds and tension.
Tube Scarf (Snood) or Classic Knit Scarf?
In equestrian sports, the tube scarf (also called a snood or neck warmer) has largely replaced the classic scarf. The reason for this is safety: Long, fluttering ends of a scarf can easily get caught in the tack, on branches while hacking, or on the horse itself. A tube scarf, on the other hand, fits snugly around the neck, does not slip during a canter, and offers no loose ends to get snagged. For a relaxed time before or after riding, many riders still like to use a classic, long knit scarf that can be wrapped warmly around the shoulders.
What to Look for in the Material
Breathable materials are particularly suitable for sporting activities on horseback. Fine microfleece or soft knit blends provide excellent warmth but at the same time wick away moisture when you work up a sweat during training. For very frosty days, neck warmers with a cozy teddy fleece lining are a real treat.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I pull a tube scarf over my mouth and nose?
Yes, most thinner snoods for sporting activities are very stretchy. In extremely icy winds or when riding in the snow, you can easily pull the tube scarf over your chin and nose to protect your face.
Does wool scratch the neck?
That depends on the type of wool. Pure new wool can sometimes scratch sensitive skin. High-quality riding scarves are therefore often made of soft fibers such as fleece, fine cotton, or special yarn blends that feel extremely gentle against the skin.
How do I wash my riding scarf?
Fleece snoods and synthetic fiber scarves can usually be machine washed at 30 °C without any problems. Do not use fabric softener for fleece so that the material remains fluffy and breathable.
Functional Scarves and Snoods for Everyday Stable Life
