FAQs

What is the primary purpose of the Gatehouse Superflex 2.0 Body Protector?

Its primary purpose is to provide advanced impact protection and shock absorption for young riders during equestrian activities, meeting Level-3 safety standards.

What makes this body protector comfortable?

Comfort is achieved through its contoured design, ergonomic cell structure for a closer fit, breathable panels and mesh fabric, and elasticated side laces for adjustability.

What safety standards does this body protector meet?

It meets the BETA EN13158:2018 – Level-3 safety standard.

How is the impact protection achieved?

Impact protection is provided by a 24mm thick construction, consisting of a 12mm nitrile foam outer layer and a 12mm EPP core, designed for shock absorption and resistance.

How do I ensure a proper fit?

A proper fit is achieved by adjusting the zip-front fastening and the elasticated side laces and straps until the protector is snug, secure, and comfortable, allowing for full movement and breathing.

Can this body protector be machine washed?

No, the body protector should not be machine washed. It should be cleaned with a damp cloth and air-dried away from direct heat.

What is the material composition of the lining?

The lining is composed of 85% nylon and 15% elastane.

Troubleshooting

Body protector feels too tight or restrictive.

Loosen the elasticated side laces and strap adjustments. Ensure the correct size has been selected. The protector should allow for deep breathing and full range of motion.

Body protector does not feel secure.

Tighten the elasticated side laces and strap adjustments. Ensure all fastening points are secured properly. If the issue persists, re-evaluate the sizing.

Material feels stiff or uncomfortable.

Allow a break-in period for the protector to mold to the body's shape. Wear it for short periods initially and gradually increase duration.
