Want a vest that adjusts itself, with no straps to set? Choose the Komperdell Safety Vest Ultra Fit Junior with flexible side foams.

Once your child has outgrown size 164, the same line continues in adult sizes from XS.

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.

The vest comes in sizes 116 to 164 (6XS to 2XS). 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 you set the width with the hook-and-loop straps. Do not go too big. In the shop we are happy to help with fitting.

The vest is worn close-fitting over a thin base layer, such as a riding top. It should not be tight or loose, and should not restrict the riding position. Do not size up just in case: 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 and that the red markers are not visible.

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.

Put the vest on over a thin base layer, close the front zip and fasten the hook-and-loop. Then set the width with the side straps until the red markers are no longer visible. 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.

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.
