Comments (take into account design, performance & value)

The jacket was made of fantastic quality fabric that was durable and comfortable yet stylish. It didn't restrict movement and was very breathable and comfortable to ride in. The navy blue colour is much more stylish and feminine than traditional black show jumping jackets, which I have had previously. The cut is very complimentary and elegant, making it ideal for the show ring as well as a ladies show jumping jacket.

I tested the jacket out at two different events; first at a BSJA show jumping competition and was surprised by how
comfortable the jacket was to wear when jumping, as other jackets can be quite tight across your back and restrict your movement and be uncomfortable when stretching over a jump. I also wore the jacket in a novice dressage test and was really pleased with the jacket again; its elegant cut and more feminine colour made me feel like a pro! A couple of friends have also commented on the jacket and say that they much prefer the navy blue colour to the more boring black.

All in all I was really pleased with the navy show jacket and would recommend it to others. Although the product was quite highly priced the quality is superb and feels like it would last a lifetime.
