Combine elegance, technicality, and safety on the showgrounds with the GEM Black Mesh Competition Jacket, airbag compatible. More than just a garment, it embodies the evolution of modern equestrianism, where comfort and freedom of movement meet the refinement essential to elite disciplines. Designed for demanding riders who want to maintain their personal style while adopting airbag protection, this 100% mesh jacket reinvents the codes of the equestrian wardrobe and is one of the flagship models of the Horse Pilot competition jacket.
A mesh innovation to perform even in the heat
At the forefront of summer comfort, the GEM Mesh Competition Jacket draws its unique character from its stretch mesh composition. This highly breathable openwork fabric optimizes airflow with every move—a priceless asset to tackle the sunniest competition days or intense training sessions. Intelligent sweat management and the refreshing sensation help you stay focused on your performance without ever sacrificing the elegance of traditional show attire.
Thanks to the inclusion of elastane, the material follows every move of the rider and immediately returns to shape, both over fences and on the flat. The fitted cut adapts to all body types while allowing enough room to wear an equestrian airbag, with no constraints or bulky effect.
Airbag compatibility: full commitment to excellence and safety
Designed from the outset as a technical and adaptable over-jacket, the GEM Black Mesh Jacket is one of the very few models on the market truly compatible with wearing an airbag underneath. Its high elasticity ensures optimal airbag activation, without hindering rapid deployment or damaging the jacket upon inflation. Every detail of the pattern has been studied so that no stress point impedes the airbag’s release in the event of a fall, offering maximum rider safety.
To best adapt to your equipment, it is recommended to choose one size up from your usual size when the jacket is worn with an airbag. If you wear it alone, simply pick your standard size to maintain an elegant, tailored silhouette.
Unprecedented freedom of movement
A rider’s daily life at competitions demands attire that becomes unnoticeable, leaving full room for athletic expression. The GEM Mesh Competition Jacket, with its deep armholes and ultra-stretch mesh, follows the movements of the shoulder down to the wrist, enabling the most precise gestures, whatever your discipline. Riding, jumping, saluting, or simply leading your horse by hand: nothing restricts your action or limits your freedom.
Its mesh panels, strategically placed across the entire jacket, make the fabric incredibly light on the skin while preserving the flawless look required in the ring or on the dressage arena. Gone are the feelings of stuffiness and restricted movements: you experience only the pleasure of riding, no matter the weather.
Gem style: elegance and subtlety for every show
Selected in timeless black, the GEM Mesh Competition Jacket meets the dress code required by most federations during competitions. Its minimalist design accentuates the rider’s silhouette with a shaped cut, adaptable to whether an airbag is worn underneath. The refined finishes highlight GEM’s signature understated chic, while discreet buttons preserve the sleek lines and make for quick dressing—even in the showground parking lot.
Generous side pockets— large enough to hold a phone or essentials (when you’re on foot, of course!)—add a practical touch to this model tailored for the active life of competitors.
Seasonal versatility and practicality
The mesh’s high breathability makes this jacket an invaluable ally from spring through the hottest summer days, preventing overheating while maintaining the formal look required in competition. Say goodbye to heavy, hot jackets— the GEM Mesh Jacket keeps you stylish even at 30°C under the outdoor arena sun.
Maintenance fits seamlessly into a rider’s life: the synthetic material is easy to clean and holds its shape, wash after wash. For every show or presentation, enjoy a jacket that’s neat and always ready to wear.
