Prefer a longer coat? Then look no further than the Tempest Insulated H20 Parka. Designed for outdoor pursuits in colder climates, the Tempest Parka boasts a plethora of Ariat’s leading fabric technologies, designed to protect against the elements while remaining lightweight and non-restrictive.
Employing Ariat’s Breathable Waterproof technology – a seam-sealed fabric that protects against wind and water while simultaneously allowing body vapour to escape – the Tempest parka keeps the body fresh and dry. This technology is employed in its waterproof seam seal, zipper and mock collar, which also shields your torso and face from water droplets and spray.
The jacket is part of Ariat’s Cold Series and utilises Cool Climate Insulation technology which keeps the body’s core warm and snug even in heavy rain or on chilly days, so you can embrace your morning dog walks in the rain.
It is also the perfect outdoor jacket for equestrian wear thanks to its two way zipper and its rear zippered vent which allows the jacket to comfortably fit over the saddle so you can ride for hours, staying dry and warm.
AW20’s Sterling Waterproof Parka lends itself to not only being a staple jacket for function and warmth on the yard but also a stylish coat for everyday wear. Its fully waterproof construction guarantees wearers stay dry, whatever the weather, due to Ariat’s EcoDRY fabric. Produced in an eco-friendly manner, EcoDRY technology offers protection against the harshest of elements without the need for harmful, environmentally-damaging chemicals. Combined with a full lining, removable hood and seam sealing, the Sterling ensures riders are kept completely dry and comfortable all day long. Also committed to controlling wearers’ body temperatures in the coldest of weathers, the parka has been crafted using Ariat’s signature AriatTEK Cold Series to keep the body’s core warm when outside temperatures are not. In addition, a Cool Climate Insulation has been applied to the coat’s lining to provide optimal lightweight comfort and warmth.
