Horseware Brianna jacket: review

Our reviewer thought that this is smart, practical jacket for yard work and riding but if you want to wear layers opt for a size bigger than usual

This is a smart navy blue winter jacket with a hood. My first impression of this jacket was that it would be a snug fit although it I am normally a size 12 to 14 (I was testing a size 14). However once on, this did fit perfectly well.

A smart, practical jacket for yard work and riding, I wore this jacket for working on the stable yard

and found it extremely light and easy to work in.

With a light padded lining and a detachable hood, it proved itself waterproof and practical for keeping warm and dry whilst working on the yard. In addition to two external pockets, there is an inside pocket which is very handy for keeping a mobile phone safe from the elements.

Smart and washable, this jacket kept its colour and shape after washing while being practical and lightweight to work in.

My recommendations are that the size is relatively snug so if the intention is to wear this with heavy layers underneath, go for a larger size. The pockets are not huge but big enough for a mobile phone and keys which keep the jacket light.

Verdict

A smart, practical jacket for yard work and riding but if you want to wear layers opt for a size bigger than usual
