FAQs

How do I measure for the correct size?

Refer to the size chart, which provides measurements based on chest and waist sizes. It's best to measure yourself while wearing a t-shirt or riding top.

How often should I clean the body protector?

Clean the protector regularly, especially after use in dusty or muddy conditions. Remove the foam panels and wash them as needed. Wipe down the outer shell after each ride.

Is the John Whitaker Pro Body Protector suitable for all riding disciplines?

Yes, it's designed for use in various equestrian activities, including general riding, jumping, and cross-country, provided it meets the required safety standards for your specific discipline.

What is the lifespan of the body protector?

The lifespan depends on usage and care. Inspect the protector regularly for signs of wear and tear, and replace it if the impact protection is compromised. The foam panels will wear down over time.

Can I wash the entire body protector?

No, do not machine wash the entire body protector. Remove the foam panels and hand wash them. Wipe down the outer shell with a damp cloth.

What safety certifications does the body protector have?

It is certified to EN13158-2009 European Level 3 (BETA Level 3 Standard).

How do I store the body protector when not in use?

Store it in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Ensure it's not compressed or folded in a way that could damage the foam panels.

Troubleshooting

The body protector feels too restrictive.

Check the fit. Loosen the straps as needed. Consider a larger size if the current one is too tight. Ensure that the protector is properly adjusted to allow freedom of movement.

The protector is shifting during riding.

Tighten the adjustable straps to ensure a secure fit. If the shifting persists, re-evaluate the size and consider a different model.

Foam panels are damaged or worn.

Replace the damaged foam panels with new ones to ensure continued protection. The panels are removable and often replaceable.
