Product Information
Full details
The Premier Equine Reflective Gilet is designed for adult equestrians who prioritize safety and visibility during low-light hacking or trail riding without sacrificing comfort. Featuring breathable, lightweight fluorescent fabric and 3M reflective panels, this garment provides essential protection and unrestricted movement in the saddle; however, users should note that as a lightweight piece, it is primarily intended for visibility rather than heavy-duty thermal insulation.

FAQs
Is this gilet waterproof?
The gilet is designed for breathability and visibility rather than heavy weatherproofing.
Can I wear this over a body protector?
Yes, the adjustable waist fastenings allow you to expand the fit to accommodate a body protector underneath.
What size should I choose?
The gilet is true to size for an adult fit. If you intend to wear it primarily over thick winter coats, you may consider sizing up.
Are the reflective panels visible from the front?
The primary 3M reflective panels are located on the back, though the fluorescent yellow color provides high visibility from all angles.
Can I machine wash the gilet?
Yes, use a gentle machine cycle with cool water. Always hang to air dry to protect the reflective properties.
Troubleshooting
Gilet feels tight when wearing a heavy jacket underneath.
Loosen the adjustable waist fastenings to provide more room in the torso area.
Reflective panels seem less bright after many uses.
Check for dirt or mud buildup. Wipe the reflective strips with a damp cloth or perform a gentle wash to restore light-reflecting performance.
Zipper feels stiff during initial use.
Ensure no fabric is caught in the zipper teeth and cycle it up and down a few times to loosen the mechanism.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your gilet remains effective, keep the following tips in mind:
- Fitting: Wear the gilet over your riding gear to determine the ideal adjustment for the side waist tabs. Ensure the zipper is fully closed for the best fit.
- Layering: Due to the adjustable nature of the garment, it fits comfortably over standard equestrian base layers, jumpers, and light jackets.
- Care Instructions: To preserve the integrity of the 3M reflective panels, wash the garment on a cool, gentle cycle with mild detergent. Avoid fabric softeners as they can degrade the technical fabric performance. Always air dry the gilet; never tumble dry, as high heat can damage the reflective materials.
