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.
For individual size charts and meaurements, please refer to the "Size Guide" link that appears on the product page.

Reviewed By: MR (TN) First off, you should know that this vest is NOT CERTIFIED. t does not meet any current safety standards. Not Beta level 3 or ASTM.
Other than that, great vest. Fits well, and is flexible, not restricting in the least. Looks like the Tipperary (which is not certified either), but is much less expensive.
Great for riding/jumping at home, but not for shows that require a certified riding vest.

Reviewed By: gretchen eberle (california) Design flaw causes this jacket to fail. The grommets on the sides of the jacket pull out of the material. When they put these grommets in, they punched through the sewing that holds the binding onto the vest. Thus, the binding pulls away from the vest too. I fixed ours by reinforcing with button hole thread up both sides of each binding edge under the arms where the stresses occur. Reinforcing the grommets was a little more complicated.
The vest seems okay once some personal reinforcement is done. My friend's brand new vest is starting to do the same thing too.

Reviewed By: Douglas Holloway (Virginia) This vest was for my 9 year old son and it fits very well. I would strengthen the zipper though because the plastic one sometimes comes undone and doesn't hold as well as needed.
