In-between seasons: the perfect weight for in-between days

We hate to be such an English cliché and start with the weather. But early autumn really is a lovely time of year. The grass greens up again, there's finally been enough rain for a canter, and it's a gentle start to what could be a very long winter. Let's not think about that just yet.

Something light, for you

It's the time of year when it isn't quite cool enough for a jacket, but when the sun goes behind a cloud you certainly need something. A gilet, perhaps?

We brought the Thermatex gilet back in two fits, a Unisex Gilet and a Ladies Gilet. The only difference is that the Ladies is cropped to allow for high-waisted trousers, and slightly more tailored at the waist for a more feminine fit.

Something light, for your horse

The same goes for the horses. The murmurings in the Thermatex office at this time of year are always the same: it's the perfect moment for our lightweight option. It's still a touch too warm for the standard cooler, especially if you're putting off the first clip.

If you aren't familiar with the Lightweight Cooler Rug, it uses the same breathable technology as the Original Cooler, but in our lighter-weight single knit fabric. It's just the right weight for this time of year, especially for travelling your horse. It's also versatile enough to use as an under-layer when things start cooling down.
