Competition Jackets

Which competition jacket is suitable for which discipline?

At dressage competitions, an elegant look is important, which is why the classic colours black and dark blue are chosen for the competition jacket. Flashy colours are less popular in dressage. From advanced level upwards, a dressage tailcoat is required instead of a jacket.
In show jumping, on the other hand, shades of grey and brown are possible. You will often see a rider riding through the course in a red or royal blue jacket. Here the competitors have greater freedom in the choice of jacket than in dressage.

What should I look for in a jacket for a riding competition?

For a terrific experience at the riding competition, when choosing a competition jacket, make sure it has an optimal fit and maximum freedom of movement. For a sporty to elegant appearance, a fitted cut is important, but one that does not restrict the rider's movement. The functionality of the fabric is equally important. The jacket should be breathable and quick-drying at the same time. Busy competition riders place high demands on their equipment. Competition outfits in particular are subject to a lot of wear and tear, which is why the competition jacket should be wrinkle-resistant and machine-washable so that it looks great at every competition. Those who travel to many outdoor competitions should pay attention to water and wind-repellent properties.
The competition jackets from Felix Bühler are particularly easy-care and wrinkle-resistant, so that you also cut a good figure visually in every competition. In addition, our jackets are characterised by unbeatable wearing comfort thanks to the 4-way stretch material.
