The Gatehouse Superflex 2.0 Short Back Body Protector is an ideal safety solution for equestrians who prioritize both rigorous safety standards and freedom of movement. Featuring EN 13158:2018 Level-3 protection, this vest offers a high-performance, low-profile fit that doesn't feel bulky in the saddle; however, users should note that the custom-fit adjustment process requires patience to ensure the side laces and buckles are balanced correctly for maximum safety.

No, the Gatehouse Superflex 2.0 should be spot cleaned only with a damp cloth.
Yes, it is certified to EN 13158:2018 Level-3 standards.
For maximum safety and protection, the vest should be worn over thin layers and under your outer jacket if necessary.
The vest features a 24mm total thickness, consisting of 12mm of nitrile PVC and 12mm of EPP foam.
The vest should feel secure and snug but should not impede your ability to take a full breath or move your arms freely.
Adjust the side laces to tighten the tension between the front and back panels, ensuring the fit remains snug without restricting breathing.
Verify that the shoulder height is correct and adjust the side buckles to lift the vest slightly; ensure you are using the 'Short Back' model specifically for your torso length.
To achieve the best fit, first fasten the front zipper while wearing thin riding attire. Use the side buckle straps to secure the initial girth, then carefully tighten the elasticated side laces to pull the front and back panels snugly against your torso. Ensure the vest sits high enough so it does not interfere with the saddle cantle when you are in a two-point position. For care, wipe down the nylon outer shell with a damp cloth and mild soap. Never submerge the vest in water or place it in a washing machine, as this can degrade the integrity of the impact foam. Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.
