The HOGGS OF FIFE Ardross Pro Long Riding Coat is a waterproof women’s equestrian coat designed to provide extensive coverage without restricting movement in the saddle.
Its polyester outer has a 10,000mm waterproof rating and 5,000g/m²/24hr breathability, supported by a PFAS-free water-repellent finish and comfortable soft-feel mesh lining.
A helmet-compatible hood, action back and releasable rear gore support riding movement, while the detachable lap panel and adjustable leg straps help keep the coat positioned for improved wet-weather coverage.
The Ardross Pro Long Riding Coat has a 10,000mm waterproof rating, providing dependable coverage during persistent rain and wet days at the yard.
A PFAS-free water-repellent finish helps rain bead away from the outer surface, while the extended length provides greater protection than a standard field jacket.
Its 5,000g/m²/24hr breathability rating allows moisture vapour to pass through the fabric during active use.
A soft-feel polyester mesh lining improves comfort when the coat is worn for longer periods in the saddle or around the yard.
The removable hood is shaped to accommodate a riding helmet, providing additional head and neck coverage without requiring the helmet to be removed.
A mouldable peak helps direct rain away from the face, while drawcord and toggle adjusters allow the fit to be tightened as required.
An action back gives the shoulders additional room to move while riding, working around horses or carrying equipment.
At the rear, a popper-fastened gore panel can be released to open over the saddle, allowing the coat to sit more naturally without restricting the rider.
The removable lap panel is designed to provide additional protection across the rider’s legs and help prevent rain from entering while in the saddle.
It can be detached when the extra riding coverage is not required, making the coat more adaptable for general country wear.
Hook-and-loop leg straps help keep the lower sections of the coat positioned around the rider’s legs.
This reduces excessive movement of the coat in windy conditions or while riding, helping maintain the intended level of coverage.
External openings use waterproof SBS zips with silicone-dipped cord pullers, making them easier to operate with gloves or cold hands.
Matte colour-matched studs feature embossed branding and rubber-washer fastenings for a secure, understated finish.
A zipped chest pocket provides secure storage for frequently used smaller items.
Two upper handwarmer pockets have soft tricot lining for additional comfort, while two lower zipped pockets and an internal zipped pocket provide further secure storage.
The Ardross Pro combines riding-specific movement, longline coverage and practical weather protection in a neutral Dark Olive colour.
It is suitable for hacking, exercising horses, yard duties, dog walking and other countryside activities where extended waterproof coverage is useful.
Is the Ardross Pro Long Riding Coat waterproof?
Yes. The coat has a 10,000mm waterproof rating and a PFAS-free water-repellent finish.
How breathable is the coat?
It has a breathability rating of 5,000g/m²/24hr, helping moisture vapour escape during active outdoor use.
Can the hood be worn over a riding helmet?
Yes. The removable hood is helmet compatible and includes a mouldable peak, drawcord and toggle adjusters.
What is the detachable lap panel for?
The lap panel provides additional protection across the rider’s legs and helps prevent rain from entering the coat while riding. It can be removed when it is not required.
How does the rear gore work?
The popper-fastened back gore can be released so that the coat opens over the saddle, allowing greater freedom and more comfortable positioning while riding.
What do the leg straps do?
The adjustable hook-and-loop straps help hold the lower sections of the coat around the rider’s legs, reducing unwanted movement and helping maintain coverage.
What pockets does the coat have?
It has one zipped chest pocket, two tricot-lined handwarmer pockets, two lower zipped pockets and one internal zipped pocket.
Is the coat insulated?
Hoggs of Fife does not specify an insulating fill. The coat is principally designed for waterproof protection, so a fleece or other warm midlayer can be added in colder weather.

It is suitable for hacking, exercising horses, yard duties, dog walking and general countryside use in wet weather.
