Women's Riding Jackets & Technical Outerwear

Technical performance meets contemporary Scandinavian style in the Montar women's jacket collection. Designed for comfort, movement and changing conditions, these are jackets made for active days - whether you're riding, walking, travelling, spending time outdoors or simply looking for functional everyday outerwear.

Explore long and short jackets, training jackets, puffer jackets and vests combining practical features with clean, modern design. For riders, they pair naturally with our complete women's equestrian clothing collection, but you certainly don't need to be an equestrian to wear them.

Technical Jackets Made for Movement

A great technical jacket should protect you from the elements without getting in the way.

Across the Montar women's jacket collection, technical fabrics and functional construction are used to balance protection, comfort and freedom of movement. Selected styles feature breathable and moisture-wicking materials designed to help manage moisture during active use, while flexible softshell fabrics allow the jacket to move comfortably with your body.

Depending on the style, you'll also find functional features such as water-repellent fabrics, ventilation, adjustable or detachable hoods, secure zipped pockets, stretch panels and practical openings.

For riding, layer your jacket over one of our women's riding tops. For everyday wear, simply style it with the rest of your wardrobe.

Women's Training & Active Jackets

When you're active, your jacket needs to balance protection with breathability and freedom of movement.

Montar women's training jackets are designed with movement in mind. Technical fabrics, stretch and moisture management help provide comfort as your activity level changes, without the unnecessary bulk of heavier outerwear.

Softshell is particularly useful for active jackets because it can combine flexibility and protection with a streamlined fit. This makes Montar training jackets equally at home during a riding session, a walk, an active day outdoors or running everyday errands.

Long Jackets for Extra Coverage

When temperatures drop, a long jacket provides additional warmth and coverage while creating a sleek, contemporary silhouette.

Montar's longer jacket designs combine practical cold-weather features with thoughtful construction for freedom of movement. Selected styles feature technical insulation, ventilation and zipped openings that make additional length more practical during active use and particularly useful for riders in the saddle.

A long Montar jacket is an ideal outer layer for cold mornings, winter riding, dog walking, outdoor events, travel, commuting or simply staying warm when you're spending time outside.

Short Jackets

Short jackets are a versatile choice when you want protection from changing conditions without the additional length of a coat.

Their streamlined silhouette makes them easy to move in, while technical softshell, lightweight padding and flexible constructions can provide warmth without unnecessary bulk.

For riders, the shorter length works naturally in the saddle. Away from the stable, the same practical design makes a Montar short jacket an easy everyday layer for walking, travelling and an active lifestyle.

Choose your jacket according to the season, insulation and level of weather protection you need rather than simply choosing by length.

Women's Puffer Jackets

When warmth becomes the priority, a puffer jacket provides comfortable insulation for colder days.

The challenge with any technical puffer is providing warmth without excessive weight or bulk. Lightweight padding, flexible panels and considered construction can help retain warmth while allowing greater freedom of movement.

Montar women's puffer jackets are a practical option for cold mornings, winter riding, walking, travel, outdoor events and everyday wear.

Women's Puffer Vests & Bodywarmers

When you want warmth through your core without restricting your arms, a puffer vest or bodywarmer is one of the most versatile layers you can own.

Selected Montar bodywarmers combine padded sections for warmth with flexible softshell panels for breathability and movement. The sleeveless design makes them particularly useful for active days and transitional weather.

Wear one over a technical top for riding and training, or layer it over a T-shirt, long sleeve top or sweater for walking, travel and everyday wear.

Breathable & Moisture-Wicking Jackets

Breathability matters whenever you're active.

Even in cooler weather, your body generates heat and moisture as you move. A jacket that provides warmth but traps too much heat can quickly become uncomfortable.

Breathable jackets help heat and moisture escape, while moisture-wicking materials are designed to help move moisture away from the body or through the garment. Selected Montar jackets combine these properties with strategically placed ventilation and technical fabrics to improve comfort during active use.

That makes these features valuable whether you're riding a horse, walking the dog, travelling, working outdoors or simply moving through a busy day.

Softshell Jackets

Softshell is a popular technical fabric because it offers a useful combination of stretch, comfort and protection.

Montar uses softshell across selected jacket designs to provide flexibility and freedom of movement while maintaining a streamlined silhouette. Depending on the individual garment, softshell can also provide wind or water resistance and breathable performance.

For riders, that flexibility makes softshell particularly useful in the saddle. For everyone else, the same properties make it an excellent option for walking, outdoor activities, travel and transitional weather.

Always check the individual product details for the exact technical properties of each jacket.

Jackets for Australian Conditions

Australian weather can ask a lot from one wardrobe.

A cold early morning can turn into a significantly warmer day, while wind, rain and changing conditions can make layering much more practical than relying on one heavy coat.

Start with a lightweight base, add a vest or training jacket when required and choose a warmer puffer or long jacket when temperatures drop.

For riders, a breathable technical riding top creates a practical base layer. For everyday wear, the same approach works with your favourite T-shirt, activewear or knitwear.

From the Saddle to Everyday Life

Montar may have its roots in the equestrian world, but you don't need to ride to appreciate clothing that's designed to move.

Technical fabrics, comfortable stretch, breathable construction, practical pockets, warmth and protection from changing weather are useful well beyond the stable.

That's why Montar women's jackets transition naturally from riding and training to walking, travel, outdoor activities and everyday life. Scandinavian styling keeps the look clean and contemporary, while the technical construction delivers the functionality expected from performance outerwear.

Choosing the Right Women's Jacket

Start with when and where you'll wear it.

Choose a training or active jacket when breathability, stretch and freedom of movement are the priority.

Choose a short jacket when you want versatile weather protection with an easy-to-wear length.

Choose a long jacket when you want greater warmth and coverage in colder conditions.

Choose a puffer jacket when insulation is the priority.

Choose a puffer vest or bodywarmer when you want warmth through your core while keeping your arms unrestricted.

Then consider the technical features that matter most to you: breathability, moisture management, stretch, insulation, ventilation, pockets, hood design and weather resistance.

Whether you're choosing it for riding or everyday life, the right jacket should keep you comfortable without restricting the way you move.

Women's Jackets FAQs

Are Montar jackets only for horse riding?

No. Montar jackets are designed with technical performance and freedom of movement in mind, making them suitable for riding as well as walking, travel, outdoor activities and everyday wear. Many of the same features riders value - such as breathable fabrics, stretch, warmth and practical pockets - are useful well beyond the equestrian world.

What makes a jacket suitable for horse riding?

A good riding jacket should allow freedom of movement through the shoulders, arms and body while remaining comfortable in the riding position. Depending on its intended use, useful features can include breathable fabrics, stretch, moisture management, weather resistance, secure pockets, ventilation and riding slits.

Are softshell jackets good for everyday wear?

Yes. Softshell jackets combine flexibility and comfort with practical protection from changing conditions, making them useful for everyday wear and outdoor activities as well as riding. Technical properties vary by garment, so check the individual product details.

Can you ride in a long jacket?

Yes, provided the jacket is designed to accommodate the riding position. Selected long Montar jackets feature zipped openings and other riding-focused construction that creates additional freedom around the saddle and legs.

Are puffer vests good for horse riding?

Puffer vests work particularly well for riding because they provide insulation through the core while leaving the arms unrestricted. They're equally useful for walking, outdoor activities, travel and everyday layering.

What should I wear under a riding jacket?

A breathable technical riding top creates a versatile base layer underneath a jacket. In colder conditions, add a sweater or mid-layer between your top and outer jacket. Layering makes it easier to adjust your clothing as your body temperature and the conditions change.
