Description
The Komperdell Safety Vest Ultra Fit is a body protector certified to EN 13158:2018 Level 3, covering the whole torso and rib cage. It fastens at the front with a zip and hook-and-loop closure and adjusts itself to chest and waist size through flexible side foams. For riders who need a Level 3 body protector for cross-country, eventing or hacking, and for anyone who wants extra protection every day.
About this body protector
In Austria, Komperdell develops both the protective foam and the vest itself. The Ultra line is its new generation of Level 3 vests: an ergonomic cut with a soft, supple protector body that fully encloses the torso and rib cage. At the top, the vest reaches the seventh cervical vertebra, the prominent bone at the base of the neck.
What sets the Ultra Fit apart is its width adjustment: flexible foam sections sit in the sides. Once the zip is closed, the vest follows your shape within its size, with no straps to set. That makes it quick to put on and keeps a smooth line under a jacket. Prefer to set the width yourself? The Safety Vest Ultra Vario is its sister model.
The foam is multi-impact capable and, according to Komperdell, absorbs up to 93% of the impact energy, regardless of temperature and humidity. Generous perforation lets air through. Alongside its EN 13158:2018 certification, the vest also carries the BETA 2018 Level 3 label.
A body protector reduces the consequences of a fall, but no vest can prevent every injury. Check the vest for damage after every fall; if in doubt, have it inspected or replace it.

When to choose this product
Choose the Safety Vest Ultra Fit if you need or want a Level 3 body protector: cross-country, eventing, LRV competitions, hacking, riding out and young horses. It is unisex and suits both daily training and competition.
Prefer to set the width yourself, for example because chest and waist measurements differ a lot? Choose the Komperdell Safety Vest Ultra Vario with hook-and-loop straps.
For children, the same line is available in sizes 116 to 164 as the Safety Vest Ultra Fit Junior.
If you mainly ride dressage or show jumping, where a Level 2 back protector is allowed, the lighter Komperdell Ballistic Flex Fit is an alternative. Always check the rules of your competition.
Fit
The vest is unisex and comes in XS to XXXL. Measure chest, waist and the waist-shoulder-waist length, and choose the size that fits all three. The vest should sit close over a thin base layer and reach the seventh cervical vertebra at the top. Within its size it adapts to your shape through the side foams. Do not go too big. In the shop we are happy to help with fitting.

Expert advice
Wear the vest close-fitting over a thin base layer, such as a riding top. It should not be tight or loose, and should not restrict you in the riding position. If in doubt, do not simply go up a size: Komperdell explicitly warns against a vest that is too big.
Before every ride, check that the zip and hook-and-loop closure are fully fastened.
Store the vest on a hanger or flat, somewhere dry and well ventilated, out of the sun and away from radiators, with nothing heavy on top. Transport it on a hanger in the supplied cover and do not leave it in a hot car.
Pair the vest with a well-fitting riding hat. In the shop we are happy to check the fit of vest and hat with you.
Use & care
Put the vest on over a thin base layer, close the front zip and fasten the hook-and-loop. Before mounting, check that everything is fastened and that the vest fits close without being tight. Hand wash with a mild detergent; do not spin, tumble dry or dry clean. A damp cloth is enough for daily care. Store on a hanger or flat, dry and out of the sun.
Frequently asked questions
Is this vest allowed for eventing cross-country?
The vest is certified to EN 13158:2018 Level 3, the level required for cross-country, and Komperdell states it is approved for eventing. Always check the current rules before each competition.
What is the difference between the Ultra Fit and the Ultra Vario?
Protection and standard are the same. The Ultra Fit adjusts itself through flexible side foams; on the Ultra Vario you set the width yourself with hook-and-loop straps at the sides.
Which size do I need?
Measure chest, waist and the length from the waist over the shoulder back down to the waist, then compare with the size chart. The vest should fit close without being tight. Do not go too big. In the shop we are happy to help with fitting.
How do I wash the vest?
By hand, in water with a mild detergent. Do not spin, tumble dry or dry clean, and do not use solvents. For everyday care, a damp cloth is enough.
Should I replace the vest after a fall?
The foam is multi-impact capable. If the vest shows damage in the protective area after a fall, or you are unsure about its condition, have it checked or replace it straight away, as Komperdell advises.
Can I wear the vest under a jacket?
Yes. The vest is worn close-fitting over a thin base layer, and a jacket can go on top.
