FAQs

What does the BETA Level-3 rating mean?

It is the highest standard of protection defined by the British Equestrian Trade Association for body protectors, suitable for all types of riding.

Is the vest machine washable?

No, you should only spot clean the mesh panels with a damp cloth to protect the integrity of the foam inserts.

Can I replace the foam panels if they are damaged?

It is recommended to replace the entire body protector if it has sustained a significant impact, as the internal structure may be compromised.

How should the vest fit?

It should fit snugly against the body to ensure the body-mapping technology remains effective during movement.

Does this vest provide back and chest protection?

Yes, the design provides comprehensive coverage across the chest and back to meet Level-3 standards.

Troubleshooting

Vest feels too restrictive

Loosen the side elasticated laces slightly to allow for more expansion during breathing and movement.

Vest shifts while riding

Ensure the side laces are tightened evenly on both sides for a balanced, secure fit around the torso.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Certified Level-3 safety standard protection

  • Highly flexible for superior range of motion
  • Adjustable side lacing ensures a snug fit
  • Lightweight and low-profile design

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To achieve the best results, start by adjusting the side elasticated laces while wearing the layers you typically use for riding. Ensure the vest sits securely against your torso without hindering deep breaths. For care, keep the vest clean by gently wiping the exterior mesh with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid using harsh chemical cleaners, as these can degrade the integrity of the foam layers. Always store the protector in a cool, dry place and inspect the foam surfaces periodically for any signs of structural damage or wear after significant impacts.
