Product Information

Full details

The Swing P24 Flex Back Protector is designed for equestrian riders who prioritize high-level safety without compromising on flexibility or comfort during their training sessions. Certified to the European EN 1621-2:2014 Level 2 standard, this protector offers robust impact absorption through its 18 mm, 5-layer SWING-Flex panel; however, users should note that as a back protector, it provides targeted spinal coverage rather than full-torso impact protection.

FAQs

What does the Level 2 certification mean?

Level 2 certification indicates the protector has passed rigorous European safety tests and is capable of absorbing significant impact force, making it suitable for higher-risk riding activities.

Can I wash the entire vest in a machine?

No, you must remove the SWING-Flex panel before washing the fabric vest. Check the fabric tag for specific water temperature recommendations.

Is this vest suitable for all types of equestrian riding?

Yes, it is suitable for general riding, but it is primarily a back protector. It does not offer the same full-torso or rib protection as a full body protector.

Does the vest restrict arm movement?

No, the flexible design and anatomical cut are specifically engineered to keep the shoulders and arms free for proper rein contact.

How do I know if I have the right size?

The vest should cover your spine from the nape of your neck down to your tailbone without restricting your ability to sit deep in the saddle.

Troubleshooting

Vest keeps riding up while riding

Ensure the silicone hem is sitting flat against your base layer and check that the vest size is not too large for your torso.

Difficulty inserting the protector panel after washing

Ensure the panel is oriented correctly; the labels should face outward toward the back of the vest pocket.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • High-level impact absorption (Level 2 certification)
  • Slim, low-profile design that does not restrict movement
  • Easy to clean due to the removable protection panel
  • Quick and simple to put on with gloves
  • Secure fit that stays in place during rigorous riding

Cons

  • Covers only the back, not the full chest or ribs
  • Requires careful hand-washing of the vest once the panel is removed
  • May feel warm during high-intensity summer training sessions

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Before your first ride, ensure the vest fits snugly against your spine without gaps. To clean the vest, simply unzip the interior compartment and remove the 5-layer SWING-Flex panel. The outer garment can be washed according to the care label instructions to maintain hygiene and fabric elasticity. Always re-insert the protection panel with the correct orientation as indicated by the labels inside the pocket before use. Store the vest in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to preserve the integrity of the protective materials.
