Product Information
Full details
The Shires EQUI-FLECTOR Safety Vest is an essential piece of high-visibility gear designed specifically for young riders to ensure they remain clearly visible to others while out on hacks or riding activities. Combining bright, fluorescent fabric with high-reflective strips, it provides excellent safety in both daylight and low-light conditions, though it is intended primarily as an overlay to be worn over existing riding attire.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the vest functions correctly, verify the fit over the rider's typical outerwear. Since it is designed for age group 5-6, it should sit comfortably over a jacket without restricting arm movement or shoulder rotation. For care, it is recommended to spot clean the vest with a damp cloth to maintain the reflective properties. Avoid harsh detergents or bleaching agents, as these can degrade the fluorescent fabric and reflective strips over time. Store in a dry, cool place away from direct sunlight when not in use to prevent material fading.
