FAQs

What safety standard does this protector meet?

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

Can I wash this in a washing machine?

No, you should not machine wash the vest as this can damage the protective foam panels.

How thick is the protective padding?

The vest has a 24mm thickness profile, consisting of 12mm Nitrile foam and 12mm EPP core.

Does it come in different colors?

Currently, the Gatehouse Superflex 2.0 is available in black.

How should I store the vest?

Store it in a cool, dry place on a hanger or lying flat to prevent the foam from creasing or compressing over time.

Troubleshooting

Vest feels too restrictive

Loosen the side elastic laces slightly, but ensure the front and back panels still overlap correctly to maintain safety coverage.

Vest shifts during riding

Ensure the side laces are tightened evenly and check that the vest is not too large for your torso; a body protector should be snug to prevent movement.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To achieve the best fit, adjust the elasticated side laces while wearing a light riding top to ensure the vest sits correctly against the body without being overly restrictive. It is crucial to have the vest professionally fitted, as the protective integrity depends on the foam panels covering the correct areas of the torso. For care, avoid using harsh chemicals or machine washing. Clean the outer shell by wiping it down with a damp cloth and mild, soap-free detergent if necessary. Allow the vest to air dry completely away from direct heat sources, such as radiators, which could degrade the impact-absorbing materials.
