This certification indicates the highest level of protection currently available for body protectors in equestrian sports, offering superior impact absorption and coverage according to specific European standards.
It is recommended to replace your body protector if it has been involved in a significant fall or impact, or if it shows signs of wear and tear such as cracks, tears, or loss of elasticity. Even without damage, consider replacing it every 3-5 years due to material degradation over time.
No, machine washing is not recommended. Hand wash with cold water and mild soap only to preserve the integrity of the protective materials and lining.
The Gatehouse Superflex 2.0 is designed for general equestrian use and meets a high safety standard. However, always check the specific rules and regulations of your discipline or governing body regarding required safety equipment.
Nitrile foam is a flexible, shock-absorbing material often used in outer layers, while EPP (Expanded Polypropylene) is a high-performance foam known for its durability and excellent impact absorption, often used in cores for enhanced protection.
The protector should fit snugly around your torso without restricting your breathing or movement. Ensure it covers the required areas without being too bulky or loose. Refer to the manufacturer's sizing chart for detailed measurements.
Ensure you have selected the correct size. The protector should be snug but allow for comfortable movement. Adjust any elasticated side fastenings if applicable.
Verify the protector is clean and dry. Ensure the breathable features are not obstructed. Consider that some level of warmth is inherent to high-impact protective gear.
Re-read the fitting guide to ensure proper placement and fastening. The protector should remain in place during moderate activity.
Setup:
