Product Information
Full details
The Premier Equine Reflective Gilet is designed for adult equestrians who prioritize safety and visibility during low-light conditions without sacrificing style or comfort. This lightweight, breathable waistcoat is an essential layering piece for hacking and trail riding, offering a tailored, feminine fit that allows for complete freedom of movement in the saddle. While it provides excellent visibility with its fluorescent material and reflective panels, users should note that as a lightweight garment, it is primarily intended for safety layering rather than providing significant thermal insulation during extreme cold.

FAQs
Is this gilet waterproof?
The gilet is designed to be lightweight and breathable, not waterproof; it may offer minimal protection against a light mist, but is not a substitute for a waterproof jacket.
Can I wear this over a thick jacket?
Yes, the adjustable waist fastenings are designed to provide enough flexibility to fit over base layers or thinner mid-layer jackets.
How do I determine the correct size?
The gilet is sized for a standard adult female fit; it is recommended to order your usual apparel size while keeping in mind the layers you intend to wear underneath.
Does the reflective material fade?
With proper care, such as avoiding harsh detergents and excessive heat, the reflective material is designed to last a long time.
Is this item unisex?
The version specified is a female-specific fit, though other unisex variants are available in the product range.
Troubleshooting
Gilet feels restrictive while riding.
Ensure the side seam slits are fully unobstructed and adjust the side fastenings to allow more room for movement.
Reflective panels seem less bright.
Check the panels for mud or grime buildup; a gentle wipe with a damp, soft cloth usually restores reflective performance.
Front zipper becomes stiff.
Ensure no fabric is caught in the track and clean the teeth with a small brush to remove any dirt or horse hair.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your gilet continues to perform at its peak, follow these guidelines:
- Fitting: Utilize the adjustable waist fastenings before you mount the horse to find your preferred balance of comfort and security.
- Layering: Ensure the gilet is the outermost layer of your clothing to prevent obstructing the reflective panels.
- Cleaning: Machine wash in cold water using a mild, non-biological detergent to preserve the integrity of the 3M reflective material. Avoid using fabric softeners or bleaching agents.
- Storage: Hang the gilet on a sturdy hanger in a cool, dry place to prevent the fabric from creasing or the reflective strips from wearing down.
