This vest is perfect for cross country or just the security of the extra protection. The is certified by British standards and a vest is required for every event you ride in. This is the vest I highly recommend every eventer or rider.
Comfortable, easy to fit.

I like having extra protection when working with new horses. Fit is easily adjusted in case you gain or lose a few pounds along the way. Looks attractive on coarse.

It is very comfortable BUT it isn't certified! What is the point of a piece of safety equipment that doesn't meet minimum safety standards? Perhaps it is better than nothing but had I known it wasn't certified I wouldn't have bought it - just never occurred to me that it wouldn't be.
While individual brands of body protectors may vary slightly in measurements and fit, the following are some basic pointers about the general fit of a body protector. Body protectors should be fitted over light clothing, heavier garments and outerwear should be worn on top. Take measurements of your chest, waist, back length, and over your shoulder (waist-to-waist) and then refer to size charts of specific brands and styles. Before trying on what you feel will be the correct size, loosen the chest and waist fasteners and flex the body protector to loosen the foam. Once on, fasten the chest and waist ensuring a snug fit and make sure there is still room within the fasteners for further adjustment. With the body protector fit securely around your chest and waist, begin to choose the length appropriate for your height. The shoulders and neckline should lie flat against your body; if this cannot be achieved then you may need a shorter length. Check the back length by sitting in a saddle (if possible) and simulating all riding positions. There should be approximately a hand's width between the saddle and the base of the body protector in the back. At the front, the body protector should reach your breastbone and cover your bottom rib at mid-chest level.
