You probably never get on your horse without wearing a helmet, but it’s also important to protect your spine and torso. Safety vests are not just for eventers and others riding in riskier disciplines. Any rider can take a tumble. Wearing a safety vest can’t guarantee you won’t hurt yourself if you fall off, but it lowers the odds of a serious injury. For trail riders, a safety vest can prevent injury even if you don’t fall off, as the vest protects you from errant branches or other items encountered out hacking.
Safety vests, also known as body protectors, should meet or exceed the American Society for Testing Materials (ASTM) standard, or the British equivalent, the British Equestrian Trade Association (BETA). While safety is paramount, many body protectors are also quite stylish. With any safety vest, fit is crucial. Riders need a vest that fits snugly and comfortably while protecting the spine and torso. Vests include strong zippers and Velcro attachments to keep them securely on the rider. Advanced materials make most safety vests comfortable to wear in cold or hot weather. Here are the major types of safety vests:
Safety vests require minimal care. Brush your safety vest off after each wearing. Hang it up using a strong coat hanger in your tack room. If your vest gets dirty, follow the manufacturer’s instructions for washing and drying. Many safety vests include removable, machine washable liners. Air vests do require annual servicing to ensure all parts are in working order. A well-cared for safety vest should last for many years.
