Samshield Victory Premium Competition Jacket Ladies

Black is the safest choice when you compete on different grounds and in different disciplines: it works with any competition shirt and with white or beige breeches. Khaki is the bolder choice and comes into its own with understated breeches and a plain competition shirt, so the colour of the jacket does the work. Match your gloves and belt to the jacket rather than the other way round and the whole look stays calm.

The manufacturer gives no details on washing, so follow the care label in the jacket. After use, hang it out on a broad hanger instead of leaving it in the competition bag; that way the shoulders and collar keep their shape. If you want to use the airbag system, fit it with the jacket on before you take it to a show.

This jacket suits a rider who wants a modern, short line and values ventilation on long competition days. The combination of an elastic outer fabric and a mesh lining makes it usable from early spring into the summer. If you ride with an airbag that zips into the jacket, this model is prepared for that according to the manufacturer.

If you are looking for a classic, longer show jacket with a traditional button fastening, another model from our range will suit you better. The same applies if you prefer to wear a jacket over a body protector or airbag vest: our range includes jackets expressly designed for that. If you want to stay with Samshield but are looking for a model from the permanent collection, look at the Victorine.

Close the jacket with the hidden zip behind the button placket: this keeps the front flat and lets you open and close it quickly. According to the manufacturer, you can zip in a separately purchased Zip'in airbag system; the jacket itself contains no airbag. Try the system with the jacket beforehand.

No specific washing instruction is known, so follow the care label in the jacket. After use, hang the jacket on a wide hanger rather than leaving it in your show bag, so the shoulders and collar keep their shape.

How does this show jacket fit?
The manufacturer describes the cut as tailored, so the jacket sits close to the body and follows the waist. The front panel is also shorter than the back panel. Sizes run to the stated EU and IT measurements. If you doubt between two sizes, or you wear another layer underneath, contact us before you order.

Can I wear this jacket over a body protector or airbag vest?
That is not specified by the manufacturer, and the cut is tailored. The jacket is, however, suitable according to the manufacturer for zipping in a Zip'in airbag system. If you ride with a body protector or an airbag vest worn over or under it, contact us before you choose a size.

Is there an airbag in this jacket?
No. The jacket itself contains no airbag and offers no protection in itself. According to the manufacturer it is only compatible with a Zip'in airbag system, which you buy separately and zip into the jacket. The protection comes from that system, and only when it is worn and maintained correctly.

What is the difference between the Samshield Victory and the Victorine?
They are two different models. The Victorine belongs to the permanent collection; the Victory is a seasonal line with its own cut, its own colours and its own size range. So check the model name carefully before you order.

Does this jacket exist in other sizes or colours?
What we stock as standard is listed under the technical specifications. Other sizes or colours we can order in on request.

How do I wash this jacket?
No specific washing instruction from the manufacturer is known to us, so follow the care label in the jacket. Hang it out on a hanger afterwards, so the shoulders and collar keep their shape.

May I wear this jacket at a competition?
Rules on the colour and cut of competition dress differ by discipline, by federation and by year. So check the current rules of your discipline and federation, certainly if you choose Khaki.
