Snagged a riding hoodie during the holiday sale, and I absolutely love it - the quality is great, it feels very heavy duty, has elbow/shoulder/back armor, full kevlar lining with mesh, three zip up pockets (two on each side and one inside), and reflective striping/logo. I wish it had thumb loops (easy enough to add though). The site states that they run big, and they do - I ordered my usual size, and it is bigger than my other hoodie from a different manufacturer, but I don't think a size down would be unrestrictive enough for me so I'm sticking with the one I received. If your usual size hoodie is loose on you and you want this to be more form fitting, definitely size down. I think I'm technically in between sizes. Anyhow, this feels like a great quality riding garment - if it ever becomes available in blue, I'm in for a second one!
