Frequently asked questions

What does EN 13158 Level 3 mean?
It is the European standard for body protectors in equestrian sport. Level 3 is the highest level of protection and is required in eventing, for example.

How should a back protector fit?
It should fit snugly without restricting your breathing and reach from the base of the neck to the tailbone. It is best to try it on while sitting in the saddle, so it does not knock against the back of the saddle.
