Product Information

Full details

The Swing Back Protector is an essential piece of safety equipment designed for adult equestrians who prioritize spinal protection during training and schooling sessions. This lightweight vest provides significant impact absorption for the spine and tailbone without sacrificing mobility, though users should be aware that it focuses exclusively on back and spine safety rather than full rib cage or anti-torsion protection.

Extended Product Information

FAQs

Is this vest suitable for competition?

Yes, its slim design is intended to be worn under show jackets while providing essential back protection.

Does it protect against rib fractures?

No, this product is specifically designed for the back and spine. It does not provide full rib cage protection.

Can I wash the vest in a machine?

It is recommended to spot clean with a damp cloth. Machine washing may compromise the integrity of the protective internal materials.

What does the EN1621-2-2014 certification mean?

This is a motorcycle industry standard for back protectors, ensuring the gear has passed rigorous impact absorption testing.

How do I know what size to get?

The vest should cover your spine from the neck to the base of the tailbone without being so long that it hits the saddle cantle.

Will this protect me from a horse stepping on me?

No, this protector is designed for impact absorption during falls. It is not rated for crush injuries or preventing torsion.

Troubleshooting

The vest shifts during riding

Ensure the side Velcro fastenings are tightened correctly and that the vest is the appropriate size for your torso length.

Velcro is losing its grip

Clean the Velcro hooks with a small brush or tweezers to remove dust, lint, or horse hair that may be preventing a strong connection.

Pros and Cons

Pros

Certified to high-level motorcycle safety standards
Excellent flexibility allows for full range of motion while riding
Easy to secure with front-zip and adjustable Velcro side panels
Sleek profile remains largely invisible under competition jackets

Cons

Does not provide comprehensive rib cage protection
Not designed to prevent severe torsion or crushing injuries
Specific fit is required to ensure the spine panel stays in the correct position

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure proper function, the vest should be positioned so the spinal panel covers from the base of the neck down to the tailbone. Adjust the side Velcro fastenings until the vest feels secure against the torso; it should not restrict breathing but should remain snug enough that it does not shift during activity.

Care Instructions:

Wipe the exterior with a damp cloth to remove dirt or sweat.
Ensure the vest is completely dry before storing it in a cool, ventilated area.
Avoid leaving the protector in direct sunlight or extreme heat, as this can degrade the internal protective foams.
Regularly inspect the Velcro fastenings for debris to maintain long-term adhesion.
