Men's Wax Cotton Duster Coat vs Australian Duster Outback Nubuck Coat

The wax cotton duster is the better pick for wet, active work: it is waterproof and breathable, has a storm flap, throat latch, saddle gusset and leg straps, and weighs little for warm-weather riding. The nubuck leather duster is the dressier, heavier coat: full-length cowhide, satin lining, a removable cape and press fastenings, made in Britain. Owners of both rate them highly, but the leather coat is an overcoat cut to layer and is not sold as rainwear, so it suits dry-weather wear and style over hard weather.

• Choose the wax cotton duster if you ride, work outdoors or get caught in rain and want a light, breathable long coat with real weather protection.
• Choose the nubuck leather duster if you want a full-length cowhide overcoat with a removable cape for dry-weather wear and a dressier look.
