Description
The Komperdell Ballistic Flex Fit Pro Junior is a children’s back protector with a Cross 8.0 back protector certified to EN 1621-2 Level 2, additional rib protectors and protective zones at the sides.

About this back protector
The Pro Junior is the children’s version of Komperdell’s Ballistic line, which won an ISPO Award in 2024. At its core is a multi-layer Cross 8.0 back protector made of adaptive dual-density foam, certified to EN 1621-2 Level 2. Around it sit protective zones at the sides and additional rib protectors, with generous perforation to keep the vest light and airy.
The width adjusts itself. The side foams overlap and slide, so the vest can give up to two sizes without opening a gap in the protection. Your child can wear it just as well over a thin jumper as over a winter coat. The front zip makes it quick to put on and take off, even for small hands.
Worth knowing: this is a back protector to EN 1621-2, not a body protector to EN 13158. For eventing cross-country and LRV competitions, an EN 13158 Level 3 body protector is required. At other competitions a Level 2 back protector is often allowed, but always check the rules.
A back protector reduces the consequences of a fall, but cannot prevent every injury. Komperdell advises replacing it after a fall or if it shows visible damage.

When to choose this product
Choose the Ballistic Flex Fit Pro Junior for children who take lessons, train every day or ride dressage and show jumping, and for anyone who wants a light vest that works through the seasons, from T-shirt to winter coat.
Does your child ride cross-country, eventing or LRV competitions? Then an EN 13158 Level 3 body protector is required: choose the Komperdell Safety Vest Ultra Fit Junior or Ultra Vario Junior.
Once size 152 is outgrown, the adult models in the Ballistic line, such as the Komperdell Ballistic Flex Fit Regular or Slim, are the next step.
Fit
The Pro Junior comes in sizes 104 to 152 and is unisex. Choose the size by height and check the chest measurement in the size chart. The vest should fit close, with the back protector centred on the back. Thanks to the overlapping foams it gives up to two sizes in width, so it fits under or over a jacket. Do not go too big. In the shop we are happy to help with fitting.

Expert advice
Choose the size based on your child’s height and chest measurement. The vest should fit close and not restrict the riding position. Do not buy too big: a back protector that is too long can knock against the riding hat.
Before every ride, check that the zip is closed and the back protector sits centrally on the back.
After use, let the vest dry at room temperature and store it somewhere dry and well ventilated, out of the sun. Do not put it on a radiator or leave it in a hot or cold car for long.
Pair the vest with a well-fitting riding hat. In the shop we are happy to check the fit with your child.
Use & care
Put the vest on, close the front zip and check that the back protector sits symmetrically in the centre of the back and that the vest fits close without being tight. Clean by hand up to 30 °C with a mild detergent and no fabric softener, then hang to dry at room temperature, out of the sun. Do not dry clean. Store dry and well ventilated, with nothing heavy on top.
