Technical Fleece and Sweater Knit

The Skadi combines the functional feel of technical performance fleece with softer sweater-knit fabric across the sleeves and back.

This mixed construction creates a more polished appearance than a traditional sports fleece while retaining the comfort and flexibility required for active wear.

Moisture Movement Technology™

Moisture Movement Technology™ helps wick perspiration away from the skin, keeping you feeling drier and more comfortable as your activity level increases.

This makes the sweatshirt particularly useful for riding, stable work, countryside walks and other activities where changing temperatures can make moisture management important.

Close, Flattering Fit

The body-contouring shape fits close through the body to create a sleek and flattering silhouette.

Stretch within the fabric allows room to move, helping the sweatshirt remain comfortable in and out of the saddle. If you prefer a looser fit or intend to wear a thicker layer underneath, consider the additional room required when selecting your size.

Full-Zip Design

A full-length front zip makes the Skadi easy to put on, remove and adjust throughout the day.

Wear it fully fastened for additional coverage or open the zip when extra ventilation is needed. The raised collar also provides useful protection around the neck in cooler conditions.

Practical Side Pockets

Side pockets provide convenient storage for small essentials while giving you somewhere to warm your hands between activities.

Avoid placing sharp or excessively heavy items inside the pockets, as these may affect the shape of the close-fitting garment.

Versatile Equestrian Styling

The sport-inspired design works particularly well with riding tights, breeches and a fitted base layer.

Away from the yard, pair it with jeans, walking trousers or leggings for dog walks, errands and relaxed everyday wear.
