Very warm
Very nice riding coat. I love that I can wear this coat and feel like I don’t need my chaps underneath as well. Definitely easier to mount with this warm coat. This is thicker and heavier than the piper version.

Love the Coat but HATE the zipper (again)!
Once again I have fallen in love with the product, jacket, however SmartPak HAS TO DO better work with their zippers. I bought this coat due to being another brand, Hadley believing the zipper would not fall short like so many others coats I've purchased from SmartPak. I was wrong. Within 4 months the coat is useless due to not zipping. I am so sad it did not make it a full season. PLEASE spend more money on quality zippers and I will buy your products again.

A Super Deal
I bought this coat on sale with a $10 off coupon, so no matter what, it was a deal. I can’t speak to durability just yet.
Pros: It fits true to size (I got a large-no medium available-and it’s a little big. I’m 5’3” and about 150 lbs.) The burgundy color is very nice. I haven’t worn it yet but it should be fine for VA winters. It’s lightweight considering the length. I love that it comes up high around my neck and that it has a hood. Love the two way zipper.
Cons: There are only two pockets. I usually carry gloves, treats, lip stuff and my cell phone. An interior breast pocket and two more waist pockets would be ideal. I took away one star for this reason. Because I am so short, it probably will be best used when out trail riding which is exactly what I bought it for. I wouldn’t say this would make a great barn chore coat unless it super cold or if you’re are taller. It’s a lot of coat.
Recommended!
Overall, for the price I am thrilled and look forward to wearing it next year.

So warm!
This is one of the best things I bought this year! I feel like a total dork in a big long coat but it seriously keeps me warm in frigid temps and with all the zipper options you can easily ride and stay warm. The color is nice. I do wish it had a chest pocket for my phone and the unzipped cape does kind of get stuck under my butt sometimes but it's better than being cold. The first time I washed it unfortunately the top zipper-pull got stuck on something in my dryer and pulled off so that's kind of unfortunate but I fixed it with a paperclip for now. This is not really the fault of the coat.

Very Warm!
I live in an area that can have very cold winter temps and WIND! This coat is so warm--I love it. I'm 137 lbs., 5'7" tall, size 8 in pants and usually a medium top. This coat is just a little bit tight across the shoulders if I dress in layers, but I can handle it. It is quite long but fine for my height. Have not ridden in it yet but definitely has the features. Hay does NOT stick to it! Hooray! Snow brushes off without penetrating the fabric. Love the zippered, secure pockets as I'm known to lose gloves and occasionally misplace my cell phone. The hood is lined for warmth and snugs up nicely when needed. IMO, this coat is worth the money for a "barn coat" if you deal with cold, wind and snow.

Warm, snuggly, easy to clean
I bought this to ride in, but it kept me so warm I was sweating just saddling up the horse, so I had to take it off to ride! I usually wear a size 6 jacket and either small or medium. I got the medium, and it fits perfectly with a couple of layers of clothing under it. I love the emerald green color! I look like a Star Wars stormtrooper!

Lightweight but Extremely Warm!
I’m loving this coat! I am admittedly cold natured, and usually have to bundle up in several layers. But with this coat I have head to knee coverage, and can throw it on quickly for barn chores AND riding. So glad I purchased it and highly recommend!

Perfect for winter schooling days!
As a barn mom it’s hard to keep warm while watching winter lessons. The kids get warmed up quickly while riding, but sitting and standing around for 3-5hrs at a time is COLD! I had a long puffy jacket from Steve Madden but thought I would give this one a try as the trainer has one and it always keeps her warm. Boy am I glad! It’s SO warm! Obviously I still layer up but this coat makes all the difference. It’s nice and heavy, covers me up to just below my knees (I’m 5’7”), and the ability to unzip from the bottom so you can lift your leg to get in and out of a taller vehicle. Love it!

Stop looking - this is the one!
I got this coat on clearance at a great price. It fits true to size. It’s warm and has a very flattering cut. It seems well made with a heavy duty zipper, nice sized pockets, and other convenient features. I haven’t ridden in mine (yet) but it’s been perfect for wearing around the barn so far.

Love this coat!
Very warm & comfortable! Wasn’t sure if I would like the extra long length but it provides extra warmth for your legs which helps when you run to the barn to check something in your pjs.

Lovely, warm coat!
I wanted a longer coat for the barn. This one is soft and warm, and not noisy like my other barn coat. I haven’t had a chance to ride in it yet, but the zippers to allow it are great. The emerald green is really nice.

Toasty in the cold
I have bilateral artificial knees that cause me a lot of discomfort in the cold. This coat is perfect. Keeps my legs warm. I've been riding for over 50 yrs & getting cold is miserable. Problem solved.

Warm & flattering!
I bought two of these coats for my daughter and myself. We spend hours daily teaching, riding, showing, doing barn work and night checks. Even on days when temps don’t go above freezing, these coats keep us snug and comfortable. We’re extremely happy with our purchase!

We renamed this the no excuses coat!
Keeps you warm in cold weather, even if your ride is limited to tack walking. Doesn't get in the way during flatwork. The hood fits easily over your helmet, without obstructing your view. Love this coat.

Love this coat!
The fit is perfect and oh so warm! I’ve worn it to the barn on cold days to do chores but haven’t ridden in it yet. I have gotten many compliments from my barn buddies! So happy with this product. I am 5’7” and 135 lbs and bought the green in medium and there is plenty of room without being too bulky.

Loving it!!
I have this coat for a few weeks now and it has quickly become my go to for the barn. I really didn't need another coat, but the sale price was too good to pass up. I've been wearing it while feeding, mucking, driving the tractor in the snow, grooming and riding. I am very pear shaped and was a little worried it might be snug on my lower half, but found this not to be the case. It skims my shape just right w/no issues w/ freedom of movement nor do I look like I'm wearing a sleeping bag. Keeps me warm during windy, snowy Michigan weather and unlike some other winter coats I have, it doesn't feel heavy on. My only negative comments are that the sleeves are a little long for me (but in fairness, I do believe I have shorter than average arms) and the cuffs around the wrist are not as stretchy as I would like but honestly, these were only things I noticed when I first tried it on and now that I'm wearing it regularly, I can say it hasn't been annoying or a problem. I can't comment on durability because I haven't had it all that long, but so far, so good! Overall, I am very happy w/ the purchase.

Every feature is A+!
I wish I could have gotten the Sugar Plum but it was not available in a medium. I bought the green and have worn it every day and ridden in it, too. Love the extra warmth on my legs. I tried to buy one for a friend but they are sold out, too bad.

Great coat, especially for the price
This coat is very warm but still light and easy to move in. The overall quality seems excellent, especially for the price. I was so happy to find a coat that came down below my knees.

Fabulous Great Fitting Jacket!
This jacket is so gorgeous in person - the burgundy is a rich color, the styling of jacket overall is flawless and I LOVE everything about it :) I am 5'10" broad shoulders and got the Large. Fits nice with room for layers and arm and jacket length are good.

Fantastic coat
This is very well made, and quite warm without being too hot in cold, but not freezing, weather. We get quite a bit of wind, and this does a great job blocking it. I am 5'8"+, sz 8 US, and a medium fits perfectly, and comes down to about knee-length.
