Think about your safety in the darkness

Posted on by martina

Time to think about your safety while riding out in the evening!

For those of you who ride out in the dark (and honestly, its most of us, as here in Sweden in November is getting dark by 4 afternoons!!), its good to know how to stay safe!

We all know 'must&dont' clothing while riding out. However, it is even more important to follow safety rules in the darker and gloomier weather, so we are easier to see for oncoming traffic.

Did you know?

Drivers first see pedestrians wearing:

  • Blue at around 15 meters
  • Red at about 24 meters
  • Yellow at about 40 meters
  • White at about 54 meters

But it takes almost 79 meters for a vehicle going 60 mph to completely stop.

So, as the well-known saying goes, better safe than sorry.

Wear clothes with light-reflective details yourself and light-reflective or fluorescent gear for your horse too.

Our Junior, Ice and Arctic Sports lines provide designed with light-reflecting details, front and back, and on both sides.

So, keep that in mind while choosing the model for you!

Happy and safe riding with Uhip!!

We all know that Uhip coats, jackets, and skirts are the absolute best for the cold season. Especially for Autumn and Winter when wind, rain, snow, and low-temperature testing us and our desire to stay outdoors. But how to choose the right garment for you based on your activity? Let us compare.

All Uhip's clothes have ultimate Uhip function for freedom of movement and comfort in the saddle and all around.

Such as:

  • two-way front zipper and buttoned straps,
  • down foldable hand-warming cuffs to keep your hands warm,
  • Uhip's elastic leg straps to attach your coat or skirt around the thigh and just enough pockets for all your needs.

If you're lucky enough to have a riding arena where you can hide from snow and rainfall, we could definitely suggest our Alaska and Nordic line.

Alaska and Nordic lines are for those who planned to mostly ride indoors during cold months and stay away from heavy snowing or raining. Wearing the Nordic you can easily enjoy some outdoor riding in snow or rain for about an hour as it has wp 3000 mm.

Alaska and Nordic line designed to keep you warm in the cold but dry weather with no excessive rain or snowfall. The lines come in full-length riding coat, midlength riding parka, riding jackets, and riding skirts.

On the other hand, Ice and Arctic lines have the same functional feature but come in a little more sporty look, with extra light reflecting details and waterproofness and breathability index of 7000 in Ice collection and 5000 in the Arctic collection.

So Arctic and Ice line are perfect for withstanding light rain or snowfall during the winter season.

As well, the Ice line is designed with bonded quilting instead of stitching and soft suede-like feeling material.

Rain resistance and breathability, can you have both?

Yes, you can, and you should!

Our Trench line is absolute must-have during Spring and Summer season.

We carefully chose our fabric based on performance and quality.

That is why we made it of 100% nylon with light stretch and high water resistance level.

High level of 7000 WP meaning that you stay dry under even hard rain and breathable function prevent moisture from coming in, while allowing it to escape out.

 

Merino wool - perfect base layer

 

Choose the right base layer

Remember that during a high level of activity, it's important to choose the right base layer.

Merino wool or technical fast drying material tops are the best choices.

(Cotton base layer is big NO)

You can choose a model according to your activity and design preference: Long Trench coat, Mid Lenght Trench coat or Trench jacket and skirt.
