Vestrum Lab Altair Competition Jacket Ladies

A dark blue jacket looks calmest over a white competition shirt and light competition breeches. If you want a little more depth in your outfit, off-white or soft beige breeches from our range also work well under navy. Keep the jacket on a broad hanger in a garment bag, so the shoulders keep their shape during transport.

Washing is done at 30°C. Bleaching, dry cleaning and tumble drying are not allowed. If ironing is needed, that is permitted up to 110°C. Stay within those limits and the dark blue colour will stay even.

Choose this version when you are looking for a dark blue show jacket in size XS, S or M and prefer to wear a classic colour rather than a seasonal shade. It is intended for competitions and official tests, whichever discipline you compete in, as long as the rules allow such a jacket.

If you mainly ride at home or in training, or if you want a jacket for cold and wet weather, a training jacket or winter jacket within our range is a better place to look. If you are looking for a black jacket or a version in another colour, the other show jackets in our collection are a better match.

You wear the Lab Altair as a formal outer layer over your competition shirt at competitions and official tests, and depending on the rules also during the warm-up and the prize-giving. It is not meant for yard work or cold, wet weather. Carry the jacket on a wide hanger in a garment bag so the shoulders keep their shape.

Wash the jacket at 30°C. Bleaching, dry cleaning and tumble drying are not allowed. Ironing is allowed up to 110°C.

How does this show jacket fit?
Nothing is specified about the fit of this model. The jacket follows the stated EU and IT sizes: XS is EU34 and IT38, S is EU36 and IT40, M is EU38 and IT42. If you are between two sizes, let us know your body measurements.

Can I wear this jacket over a body protector or airbag vest?
Nothing is specified about that for this jacket. If you wear a body protector or airbag vest, ask us for advice before choosing a size.

Can I order the Lab Altair in a different size or colour?
Our standing range is listed under the technical specifications above. For a different size or a different colour we will place an order on request.

How do I wash this show jacket?
At 30°C. Do not bleach, do not dry clean and do not tumble dry. Ironing is allowed up to 110°C.

What does navy combine with best?
With a white or off-white competition shirt and light competition breeches. Dark blue is a calm base colour that needs little coordination.

Can I also wear this jacket at the yard or during training?
You can, but the jacket is not intended for that. For daily use or in cold and wet weather, a training jacket or winter jacket is the better choice.

What is the difference with an ordinary riding jacket?
The application. This Altair is made for a smart competition outfit, while a riding jacket or training jacket is aimed at comfort and protection during daily work.

May I wear this jacket at every competition?
What you may wear at a competition depends on your discipline, your federation and the year. Consult the rules that apply at your competition.
