Its primary purpose is to provide a high level of impact protection and shock absorption for the torso during equestrian activities, compliant with safety standards.
A correct fit means the protector lies flat against your torso, covers the required areas without restriction, and feels snug but comfortable. You should be able to breathe normally and move your arms freely. Use the zip-front, strap, and buckle adjustments to achieve this.
No, the Gatehouse Superflex 2.0 Body Protector should only be hand washed with mild soap and cold water. Machine washing or harsh detergents can damage the materials and protective properties.
This certification indicates that the body protector meets a high standard of safety for equestrian use, offering a significant level of protection against impact and injury as defined by the British Equestrian Trade Association's standards.
Yes, the protector incorporates panels and a mesh outer fabric designed to allow heat to escape, enhancing breathability and rider comfort.
The total thickness of the protective padding is 24mm, consisting of a 12mm nitrile foam outer layer and a 12mm EPP core.
The elasticated side laces and strap/buckle adjustments are designed to customize the fit, ensuring the protector is secure, comfortable, and allows for greater flexibility.
Ensure all straps and laces are adjusted correctly for a flexible fit. Wear for short periods initially to allow the material to conform to your body shape. Check that it is not being worn over bulky clothing that restricts movement.
Verify the fit; the protector should be snug but not tight. Ensure the lining is smooth and that no seams are causing irritation. Wearing a thin base layer underneath can help prevent chafing.
Inspect regularly for tears or excessive degradation. Minor damage can sometimes be addressed with appropriate repair kits, but significant damage may require replacement for safety.
Ensure the elasticated side panels and mesh outer fabric are functioning correctly to allow airflow. Wear lighter, moisture-wicking base layers. Avoid using in extremely hot weather if possible, or take frequent breaks.
