Toklat Originals, Inc., a Lake Oswego, Oregon equestrian product manufacturer and distributor, announces Irideon® Riding Wear’s seventh season offering for Fall/Winter 2005. The performance-oriented equestrian apparel by Irideon® includes pieces for both women and children.

Developed to meet the needs of today’s riders, Irideon® is based on the rider’s perspective, providing three basic principles: comfort, performance and a great look. All garments are designed and fitted both in and out of the saddle, then tested at length for riders’ satisfaction. Including advanced fabrics, ergonomic panels and flattering seam lines, Irideon®’s pieces are available in a variety of sizes. Designed to fit a wide range of body sizes, Irideon® offers select pieces in plus sizes and longs. Easy care, all garments are machine washable.

This fall brings a variety of new pieces to the Irideon® clothing line, including the innovative Zephyr® Soft Shell Jacket, the Polartec® Thermal Pro Fleece Vest and 1/2 Zip, the Polartec® Microfleece Pullover, and the French Terry Sport Collection with new Sport Pant and Jacket. Irideon® also updated some existing favorites, such as the Supplex® Thermal Crew with new, contrasting piping, the Dri-Silk™ Long-Sleeve Tee with Radiance™ side panels for extra breathability and new 3/4-sleeve raglan tees featuring trendy screen printed designs.

The Zephyr® Soft Shell Jacket offers protection, durability and performance. Incredibly versatile, the Zephyr® Soft Shell Jacket is designed for ultimate riding comfort in a wide variety of weather conditions. Featuring a dense weave and DWR-coating to provide abrasion resistance, as well as a water and wind barrier, the breathable microfibre wicks moisture away from the body to keep you dry and eliminates the need to add and remove multiple layers of clothing. To top it off, Zephyr®’s four-way stretch provides the freedom of movement essential to riding. Available in Cadet Blue and Graphite, the Zephyr® Soft Shell Jacket is offered at $119.95 in women’s sizes small to x-large. A metallic “horse hoops” graphic is featured on the base of the neck of the Jacket.

The Polartec® 100 Microfleece collection is exceptionally soft and lightweight, yet still provides great insulation and warmth – and without the bulk. Outstanding moisture-wicking properties make this fleece quick-drying and comfortable - a perfect outer layer for a cold weather ride. The Microfleece Pullover features body-contouring panels for a great fit and is highly breathable and quick-drying to minimize heat loss. The Polartec® Thermal Pro 1/2 Zip has a deep zip-front for easy on-and-off over helmets, a no-chatter zipper and contrasting body-contouring panels and the ergonomic collar helps keep out drafts. The Polartec® Thermal Pro® Vest is a great no-bulk layer, keeping you warm at your core – where it counts. Featuring hidden zipper pockets, interior pockets and a no-chatter zipper, the Thermal Pro® Vest also offers an ergonomic collar to keep out drafts. Available in Truffle, Storm Blue and Alpine, the Microfleece Pullover is offered at $49.95 in women’s sizes small to x-large. Available in Glacier Blue, Sugar Plum and Wintergreen both the Polartec® Thermal Pro 1/2 Zip and Vest are offered at $64.95 in women’s sizes small to x-large, at $69.95 in plus sizes 1X to 3X and $54.95 for kids sizes small to large. A detailed horse embroidery is featured on the lower left front of each Microfleece and Polartec® Thermal Pro® item.

The French Terry Sport Collection includes the French Terry Zip Top, French Terry Jacket and French Terry Sport Pant. Constructed of looped pile interior that absorbs and wicks perspiration away, French Terry is designed to keep you dry while trapping in warm air for insulation. With a durable exterior that’s tough enough for equestrian wear and tear, our French Terry pieces are stretchy and soft, providing warmth and supportive comfort. The stylish French Terry Zip Top keeps you clean with a smooth exterior that resists hay, hair and shavings. A zip-front gives added ventilation and contrasting stripes on the shoulders offer a sporty look. The French Terry Jacket offers the same great features as the French Terry Zip Top, but with a full-zip front for easy on-and-off. The versatile French Terry Sport Pant is the perfect answer to what to wear before or after riding, whether to the grocery store or to a casual dinner. This pant can be worn alone or over breeches or tights, and includes a 1.5 inch no-roll waistband and a four-way stretch, flattering, relaxed fit for comfort. Available in Seabreeze, Plum, Graphite, Storm blue or Alpine, the French Terry Zip Top is offered at $59.95 in women’s sizes small to x-large. Available in truffle, plum, graphite, storm blue and alpine, the French Terry Jacket is offered at $79.95 in women’s sizes small to x-large.

Supplex® is the coziest thermal wear you’ll find. Offering four-way stretch, body-contouring panels and ergonomic shoulder gussets for freedom of movement, Supplex® can give you an additional layer of warmth and breathability. The specially patterned ergonomic collar on the Supplex® Thermal Crew keeps out drafts and features stylish, contrasting piping while the Supplex® Thermal Turtleneck offers extra coverage and protection with a traditional turtleneck collar. Pair a Supplex® top with the coordinating Supplex® Thermal Leggings to serve as an excellent base layer under tights or breeches. No-chafe flat seams and a 1.5 inch no-roll waistband offer added comfort. Supplex® tops and leggings are more breathable and moisture-wicking than cotton and dry 28% faster!
