Nordic Thermal Skirt Mood Indigo

Description

The riding skirt is Uhip's true classic, conceived to keep the rider warm in the saddle without bulky breeches. Pair it with a jacket in a coordinating color for a versatile alternative to a long coat.

Tailored features for horse riding

By unzipping the two-way zipper in the front and back, you can sit in the saddle while the riding skirt hangs down, warming your thighs. Inner leg bands keep the skirt in place during your ride.

Easy to put on and take off

The thermal skirt is effortless to put on and take off with the two-way zipper in the front. Because the skirt is divided at the top, you never have to struggle with dirty shoes; you can even take it off while seated in the saddle. Perfect for removing after the warm-up and putting on when it's time to cool down the horse.

It keeps you warm during cold winter days

Crafted with attention to detail, material selection, and function, the riding skirt in the Nordic collection is filled with high-quality synthetic insulation that keeps you warm even in sub-zero temperatures. The insulation retains warmth even when damp, making it ideal for changing weather conditions.

Weather and wind protection

With a water column of 3000 mm and taped seams, the Nordic offers some protection against precipitation while primarily designed to provide warmth.

Stylish and functional fit

Nordic includes long and mid-length coats, jackets, and skirts, all designed to be form-fitting without feeling tight. They are quilted with wide, full channels and rich colours. The fabric has a pearlescent-like, beautifully shimmering surface. The wide, plush channels in the quilting, along with the rich colours and pearl-like surface, provide an exclusive and appealing look.

Features

Materials

Shell:

3/3 Polyamide 2-layer, 100% Polyamide, Ripstop with shiny surface. TPU Film
Durable and lightweight 2-layer Polyamide material. Polyamides are known for their durability and resistance to wear and tear. They are commonly used in outdoor and performance clothing. Polyamide is a lightweight material that is stronger than polyester in relation to its weight. Also referred to as Nylon.  Ripstop construction with a shiny surface makes the garments more resistant to tearing and ripping. PU membrane to provide high water protection and breathability. 

WP: 3000 mm
Water column is a way of measuring the degree of waterproofness in a garment to understand the garment's ability not to let water through. How high a water column a garment can withstand is also affected by how it is used; a harder and more active use requires more of the material. Therefore, we recommend regular reinforcement with impregnation to ensure the full function of the garment.

MP: 3000g/m2/24h
Breathability is often measured in a ‘g/m2/24hrs’ measurement. This rating represents the amount of water (or sweat) by weight that can pass through a square metre of fabric over a day. 

Taped seams
Essentially, taping seams enhance the waterproof protection of clothing. Needle stitching leaves tiny holes in the garment through which water can seep when worn in wet conditions; taped seams prevent this from happening.

Bionic Finish ECO Fluorocarbon free DWR 
Fluorine-free water repellent textile finishes to achieve water-repellent effects. Many plants have a natural water repellency. BIONIC-FINISH® ECO absorbs this effect so that we can use it for our products.

Insulation:

Uhip does not use down in our garments, but we have used wool or synthetic fibres instead. The benefits of synthetic insulations are that they keep the heat even in wet condition and it dries quickly. The basic principle for all insulations is the same: small spaces in the fibres encapsulate body heat and keep you warm. The more air between the body and the cold, the more effective insulation.

DuPont™ Sorona®, SEE ECO 60% Elastomultiester with Sorona®, 40% Polyester, Downlike synthetic
DuPont™ Sustans Sorona® ,SEE PRO 200gsm, 60% Elastomultiester with Sorona®, 40% Polyester, Flat synthetic

See DuPont™ Sorona® is a synthetic insulation focused on sustainability made from annually renewable plant-based ingredients. DuPont™ Sorona® fibres are produced with a patented technology that provides lightweight, breathable warmth with a soft feeling and has superior compression and recovery.  It is quick drying and also has the benefit of keeping you warm even if it gets wet. DuPont™ Sorona® fibre/ polymer is Oeko-Tex® certified.

Lining:

Dot Pattern print lining, 100% Recycled Polyester
All Uhip products are made with 100% recycled Polyester, 38gsm. Recycled polyester is made from recycled materials (PET and polyester fabrics). By choosing recycled polyester, we can deliver the same technical performance in fibres with a smaller environmental footprint.
