Depending on the different style and manufacturer, each product will fit you differently. But there are factors you need to know. First of all, make sure that the body protectors are close to your torso so as to justify its purpose. Riders tend to wear light clothing under it, so the fitting is exact. If you are wearing heavy clothing instead, the protector fitting has to vary. Also, keep in mind that the riding body protectors will take the shape of your body as you wear them, and to serve that purpose, they have a warm texture inside. You can check a few body protectors on sale at our online shops and see if something interesting pops up.

Starting from the inside out, the inner material of these protectors has got two levels of PVC Nitrile foam. This material tends to be heat sensitive and thus mould slowly to the rider’s body. Mostly, the products are perforated to provide airflow, reduce weight, and increase flexibility. The outer material is a fabric that can add a layer of protection to the inner foam. This foam may surely add to the weight of the product influencing the quality. Whether you are buying a cheap body protector or an expensive one, you should not compromise with the quality any which way. Other than weight, attachments like fasteners and linings are other important considerations while buying.

Question & Answer

Are body protectors necessary?

Horses are wild animals and highly unpredictable. Whether you are a beginner or an expert, body protectors are indeed necessary. If you are a beginner, you are at risk of committing mistakes. But when you are an advanced level rider, the risks are involved depending on the varying sports you are involved in. Hence, these protectors are of utmost importance irrespective of activities, location, weather, risk, or any other parameter you may think to justify not buying one.

How long do body protectors last?

Body protectors last between 3-5 years. In the meantime, you have to replace the foam inside whenever there is any mishap you confront. Or if you don’t care and maintenance of the protector is equally important to expand the lifespan. For instance, if you keep them hanging as it is and provide a warm natural environment – the product stays away from any damage. In the case of body protectors, if you keep them folded, foam might destructure.

Are body protectors expensive?

You can find a budget range of AED200 to AED600 or even higher. Considering their purpose, we do not think the budget range is something very expensive. We tend to tag a product as expensive when we think we are paying for more than the purpose. If your outdoor activity demands an average level of protection and still you are buying high-end gear, then that would be an expensive product for you. We hope we made sense here. All in all, nothing can go wrong if you make an informed decision.

Where to buy body protectors?

You can choose the Racesafe brand if you are looking for customisations. Their product’s range is diverse and endless. You can also go for Shires as it is equally effective as Racesafe. Sometimes exploring these brands even before starting to shop lets you maintain a certain standard. Whenever you scrutinise a product, you will know the feature and quality you should have. You can directly hop on to our online shops and explore such brands and products.

More than the brand, we trust the manufacturer and its value-driven mindset. A little research on that part can be very helpful. All you have to do is check out the brand and search the keyword online to see if they really are worth buying. It doesn’t matter whether they are old or new in the market if they are dedicated to providing the best they have. We hope you will keep all the tips we have revealed on this page and end up with a durable body protector. We also have a dedicated section of Sports & Outdoor if you would like to buy more related to a specific activity you enjoy.
