Are you ready to invest in a body protector created to the highest level of protection currently available?
Of course, you’re looking for a comfortable fit too, because when you compete you need protection that works with you. Your focus needs to be entirely on the task in front of you, whether that’s splashing into the lake in X-country, getting your horse’s stride right for that tricky triple or hacking out.
Taking time away from your sport from injury impacts on your life in many ways, from financial to reduced confidence levels. It makes sense to avoid that when you can.
The great news is that the Provent 3.0, the new generation protector from leading manufacturer, Racesafe, is accredited to both the highest European and BETA 2018 Level 3 protection standards.
Even better, it’s the lightest ever protector at this rating, thanks to the technologically advanced use of foam combined with Racesafe’s unparalleled knowledge of riders’ needs. So you can ride out without feeling weighed down.
Here’s what else makes the acclaimed Provent 3.0 so successful. It’s very breathable, thanks to the heat-releasing perforated net outer fabric. Plus, the independently hinged foam sections make it one of the most flexible protectors you can buy.
It’s also available in an extended and improved range of sizes. There’s also a made-to measure adjustment option. With this level of choice, you can find your perfect fit.
Finally, the new flexible self-adjustment system offers you even more fine-tuning for the ultimate in comfort and safety.

Finding your size:
Step 1; CHEST -
The starting size, based on your chest measurement.
• Over light clothing, place a tape measure close up under the arms & measure the fullest part of the chest.
• The correct size should be a snug fit within the adjustment available from the side, without being too tight or restrictive.
Step 2; OVER THE SHOULDER
The correct fit option, based on your body length.
• From your natural tipping point at the front (approx 1" below the ribs), up over the shoulder & down to the level point on the back.
• The correct fit should ensure the foam segments at the front are long enough to cover the bottom ribs, whilst not being too long to restrict movement.
Step 3; BACK OPTIONS
The correct back option, based on your back length.
• Take a back measurement from the C7 vertebrae (prominent one at the base of your neck) down to where the body protector should finish.
• Sat in the saddle, measure down to approx 3/4 finger width clearance above the seat.
• The correct fit should provide both lower back protection & a full range of movement, without the saddle interfering.
