What riders should look for
1. Freedom of movement
In the saddle you need free arms and shoulders. A sleeveless gilet warms your core and leaves your arms free. It also layers over a fleece; just check your body protector still fits correctly over the top.
2. Thin enough to feel the reins
Chunky ski gloves are warm but you lose contact. Thin liners with heating across the back of the hand and fingers can be worn alone or under riding gloves, and the fingertips work on a touchscreen.
3. Where the heat goes
Mucking out, lunging or teaching often means standing still for ages. Heat across the back and neck makes a real difference. The Høgge gilet has five zones including one at the neck, with front and back controlled separately.
4. Battery life for a full morning at the yard
A small power bank is fine for a two-hour hack. If you teach all morning or wait around at a show, go bigger. See our power bank for heated clothing buying guide and the page on how long the battery lasts.
5. Washable after yard work
Yard clothes get filthy. Gløde clothing is washable once you remove the elements and battery. Competitors vary: according to the product page, Ororo's Glasgow liners are hand wash only.
6. Try before you commit
Every rider sits differently. With Gløde you can try for 30 days with a money-back guarantee.
The products reviewed
Høgge heated ladies' gilet: the base layer for riders
The Høgge gilet is our top pick because it keeps your core warm and your arms free. Five zones (two front, two back, one at the neck) and three heat settings, with front and back adjustable separately. The silver inner lining reflects body heat, so it stays warm even when the heating is off for a while. The product description itself mentions the stable and riding. Price: €169.99 to €189.99 depending on the variant; check the product page to see whether a power bank is included. Downside: being sleeveless, your arms depend on your jacket or fleece.
Thin heated glove liners
These glove liners are thin, light and stretchy, with carbon-fibre elements across the back of the hand and the fingers. Three settings, two rechargeable batteries included, touchscreen fingertips. €129.99. Downside: the palm is not heated. More options in our heated glove liners buying guide and the heated gloves collection.
Heated socks, black
The heated socks are knee-length in a breathable CoolMax blend and warm the toes and forefoot. A button on the sock controls them, and the battery sits in a pocket at the top. Battery life according to the specifications: 2 to 3 hours on high, 4 to 5 on medium, 6 to 8 on low. €109.99. Downside: check there is room in your long boots for the battery pocket at the top of the leg.
Øney universal jacket heater
Attached to your riding jacket? The Øney jacket heater clips heating for chest, stomach and back into almost any jacket with no sewing. Noticeably warm within 60 seconds, three settings, up to 50 °C, power bank included. €69.99. Downside: the fit depends on your own jacket. More in our guide to heating your own jacket.
Bertschat Beheizte Weste Dual Heating
Dutch brand Bertschat sells a unisex heated vest at €169.95 (price November 2026), with ten zones across two power banks and up to 65 °C. Plus: lots of zones, a stated maximum temperature and machine washable at 30 °C in a wash bag (the bag is €5 extra). Minus: a unisex cut rather than a women's fit for this model.
Ororo Women's Classic Heated Vest
Ororo offers a women's heated vest at €139.99 (price November 2026, normally €179.99) with four zones: pockets, mid-back and collar. Plus: a women's cut, clear battery figures (3, 6 and 10 hours) and a 3-year warranty on heating elements, 1 year on the battery. Minus: four zones, with no separate front and back control mentioned.
Ororo Glasgow heated liner gloves
At €109.99 (price November 2026) these liners heat the back of the hand and fingers, not the palm. Battery life 3 to 8.5 hours. Minus: hand wash only according to the product page, and Ororo gives 1 year on elements and battery for gloves.

FAQ
Can I wear a heated gilet under my body protector?
It depends on how your body protector fits. A gilet is thinner than a jacket, but the protector must still sit correctly. Try it at home and use the 30-day trial.
Where does the power bank go while riding?
In an inside pocket of the garment. A compact 10,000 mAh weighs 150 g and gets in the way least.
How long will my feet stay warm at the yard?
According to the specifications, the socks last 2 to 3 hours on high and 6 to 8 hours on low. Two batteries are included.
Do you ship to the UK and Ireland?
Delivery countries, times and returns are listed on our shipping and returns page.
What if something breaks?
You have a 2-year warranty and European customer service. See repair and warranty.
Verdict
Start with a heated gilet as your base: it keeps your back and neck warm and leaves your arms free. Add thin liners for feel on the reins and heated socks for the yard. If you want to keep your own riding jacket, choose the Øney jacket heater. With Gløde you get a 2-year warranty, delivery in 1 to 3 days and a 4.8 rating on Trustpilot (237 reviews).
