Ariat Autumn Winter 2026 Collection


Frequently Asked Questions

What should I wear horse riding in winter in the UK?

Wear several thin layers so you can adjust as you warm up, starting with a baselayer, then a mid layer or gilet, and warm riding socks. This traps heat without restricting movement. Ariat winter riding clothing such as the Lunaveil baselayer, Laviolette gilet and AriatTEK socks suits this approach.

How many layers should I wear for riding in cold weather?

Three layers is a good starting point: a baselayer, an insulating mid layer and a gilet or jacket. You can then add or remove a layer depending on the temperature and how hard you are working. An Ariat half zip baselayer and gilet make an easy pairing.

Are riding socks different from normal socks?

Yes, riding socks are made to sit smoothly inside tall or country boots and often use technical fabrics for comfort and moisture management. They avoid bulky seams that can rub. Ariat riding socks in the AriatTEK range include Winter Slimline, Slimline Performance and Radiant styles.

What is a baselayer and do I need one for riding?

A baselayer is a close-fitting top worn next to the skin to help manage moisture and keep you warm. It is recommended for winter riding because it makes layering more effective. The Ariat Lunaveil baselayer is a women's half zip option available in two prints.

Do Ariat baselayers and gilets come up true to size?

Ariat baselayers and the gilet are available in XS to XL, but fit varies between styles, so check the size guide on each product page for body measurements. A baselayer is designed to sit close to the body, so choose your usual size for a fitted feel, or one size up if you plan to wear thick layers.
