Tipperary Competitor XP Protective Riding Vest
Lightweight, low-profile design. Styled after the popular Eventer vest, the lightweight, low-profile Competitor XP protective riding vest by Tipperary is the perfect fit for many riders. Higher cut front and back will reduce binding or riding up while in the sitting or galloping positions. Sides feature overlapped padding with adjustable straps and VELCROŽ brand closures. Elastic inserts at the shoulders for greater arm movement. In black. Custom vest available upon special order.
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.

At last an ASTM approved vest that is not as stiff as steel body armor. It breathes well and has the adaptability to fit a woman's chest extremely comfortably.
