Why Solas Stands Out

✔ LED Lights That Show Direction
White to the front. Red to the rear. A familiar light pattern that helps other road users recognise which direction you're travelling.

✔ Enhanced Visibility in Low Light
Integrated LED lights provide active visibility, complementing the fluorescent fabric and retroreflective detailing when light levels begin to change.

✔ Designed for the Saddle
A shorter front cut, tailored fit and rider-focused design allow unrestricted movement in the saddle without the bulk of traditional hi-vis garments.

✔ Fits Comfortably Over Your Riding Gear
Adjustable side zips provide a flexible fit over base layers, jackets and many leading air vests and body protectors.

✔ Practical Storage Where You Need It
A two-way front zip, secure side pockets, chest pocket and generous rear pocket keep your essentials close to hand.

✔ Rechargeable & Ready to Ride
USB rechargeable LED lights provide up to 10 hours of illumination from a single charge.

The Difference

The Solas isn't just another hi-vis vest.

It's a premium riding gilet, designed specifically for equestrians who want a stylish, tailored fit without compromising on visibility, comfort or practicality.

Care Instructions

Machine washable at up to 30°C using a non-biological detergent. Do not use fabric conditioner. Do not dry clean, hot wash, tumble dry, or place your EquiLight garment on or near direct heat sources.

The Solas Gilet can also be easily maintained with a simple wipe clean. For grease-based marks, we recommend spot cleaning with a small amount of washing-up liquid.
