Harry Hall All-Weather Full Length Riding Coat
The Harry Hall All-Weather full length riding coat has an official waterproof rating of 10,000mm and I can confirm it has always kept me dry even during long periods of heavy rain. It has a slightly longer cut at the back, which I liked as it offered extra coverage from the elements. This long waterproof riding coat has 100g fill so ideal if you are looking for a warm winter coat or you feel the cold.
Fit
I’m 5ft4in and a UK12 but would normally size up in coats to accommodate layers and I tested the size L. You can adjust the draw cord on either side, to either make the coat more fitted or a bit looser to your preference. I found I had plenty of room and with the 100g fill I didn’t need as many layers so I don’t actually think sizing up (if you usually would) is necessary.
It was a little long in length, but didn’t get in the way. It came down to below my knees covering the top of my wellies and slightly lower at the back, which meant the hem became dirty quickly if I was walking across muddy ground. My mum is size UK16 and she can wear this coat with a couple of layers and not feel restricted, so I would say the sizing is generous. It’s available in XXS–4XL (UK6–22).
Features
The leg straps meant the coat didn’t flap around in the wind. I have worn it when hacking, doing fast work and for flatwork lessons during the cold snap but found after I had warmed up I was a little too hot.
The front of the coat has a two-way zip for added comfort in the saddle. I found the outer material makes a rustly noise compared to other coats I have – this was not a problem for me but it might be if you have a sensitive horse.
I really liked the added high-vis detailing to the back gusset.
The large rear zip riding vent allows the coat to sit comfortably and cover the saddle when riding without being restrictive. I found the vent a bit more fiddly than others, but I think this was due to the overall length on me. It offered the most coverage when in the saddle out of all the coats I tested. The hood was a nice size that didn’t get in the way when riding. It also has a storm peak and bungee cord at the side for a closer fit, which together kept the rain out of my face.
The high collar has a fleece lining. One feature I loved was the magnetic closure of the storm placket with poppers at the bottom; this saved time especially when I had my gloves on. All the fittings have stood up well to regular use. The storm cuffs were an added bonus – not something I usually look out for.
This coat has performed well and I preferred wearing it during colder wet weather for general yard duties and riding, particularly because hay and bedding didn’t stick to the material.
It is described as machine washable at 30°C. I haven’t washed it yet, as it’s still looking great even after three months of regular wear. I have just been letting the mud dry and brushing it off.
If you prefer something a little shorter, just covering the top of your thighs, Harry Hall have a very similar coat with the same waterproof rating so I’d recommend the Harry Hall Original All-Weather Coat instead.
Verdict
This coat is warm and waterproof without being heavy – it’s ideal if you feel the cold or spend long periods of time out in the elements.
