Boss Equestrian Steven Training Sweater Cardigan Men

This is a cotton sweatshirt, not a technical riding layer. Cotton feels soft and is comfortable to wear in the stable, but it absorbs moisture and dries more slowly than synthetic fabrics. For grooming, feeding, the ride to the arena, or a coffee after riding, this is no problem at all. If you work hard with your horse or train in the rain, choose a layer that is made for that.

Wear the vest over a T-shirt or polo, or under a bodywarmer when it gets colder. With the continuous zipper, you can control how much warmth you retain while you are busy. Wash it at 30 degrees on a delicate cycle and let it air dry: the tumble dryer is not allowed according to the washing label, and that also preserves the tension of the ribbed cuffs.

Who is it for?
For riders looking for a comfortable cotton gilet for around the stables and on the go, who don't need a technical sports layer.

When to use?
In spring and autumn as a loose layer over a shirt, and in winter as a mid-layer under a jacket. Also suitable as a daily gilet outside of equestrian sports.

For which discipline?
Not discipline-specific. Boss Equestrian positions Steven as a leisure and training gilet, not as competition wear.

When is an alternative better?
If you are looking for a light, technical layer with zip pockets to work in while riding, then the Sammy Function Cardigan from Boss Equestrian is the logical choice. If you primarily need warmth in cold weather, then look for a padded bodywarmer or puffer.

Wash the cardigan at 30 degrees on a delicate cycle and do not use bleach. Ironing, dry cleaning and tumble drying are not permitted according to the care label. Close the zipper before washing, turn the cardigan inside out to protect the imitation leather logo detail, and air dry it flat or hanging. This way, the ribbed cuffs will retain their tension and the fit will remain as intended.

Can I use this cardigan for riding?Yes, you can: the zipper, the upright collar, and the ribbed cuffs do not get in the way. However, keep in mind that it is made of cotton. Boss Equestrian does not make any claims about breathability or moisture-wicking for this model, so for intense training sessions, you will be more comfortable in a technical layer.

Where is the Steven made?Boss Equestrian states Portugal as the country of origin.

Can the cardigan be tumble dried?No. The care label indicates that tumble drying is not allowed. Let the cardigan air dry.

What is the difference with the Sammy Function Cardigan?Sammy is a technical cardigan made of polyamide and elastane interlock with zip pockets; Steven is a cotton sweatshirt with a kangaroo pocket. Sammy is the functional layer, Steven the soft, everyday one.
