A pioneer in the field of safety vests is the Austrian manufacturer brand Komperdell. The company develops high-quality products that primarily protect the spine. The range specifically addresses leisure and safety-oriented equestrian sports. With over 20 years of experience, Komperdell is one of the leading companies in the development and production of protective vests for equestrian sports.

The plant in Austria has very low emissions - even lower than a kitchen. With a pollutant load of only one percent of the Austrian limit and one thousandth of a comparable plant in the Far East, the company produces according to the highest environmental protection guidelines. Komperdell generates its energy from hydroelectric power, while the raw materials come from environmentally conscious manufacturers.

A back protector should fit snugly, but not constrict. It is important that it also covers the coccyx, i.e. it is not too short. Of course, he must not bump up against the saddle. When you are in the saddle, the lower end of the back protector should be about two to three finger widths from the saddle. With the dressage saddle it is possibly a little less, as it is usually cut higher at the back. At Komperdell you choose the protective vest according to your clothing size. In the rule, however, we also give you a measurement table in the item description. The Komperdell Ballistic Flex Fit safety vest even has an automatic size adjustment within the scope of the clothing size. It adapts perfectly to your body shape.
A back protector mainly does what the name suggests: protect the back and spine. Although many back protectors also have a lined front, they usually only have the medium protection class 2. These vests primarily protect you from light to medium impacts on your back and offer a good compromise between protection and wearing comfort. Protective vests are thickly padded all around to protect you from hits and even kicks, both in the front and in the back. These level 3 protective vests are mandatory for eventing and cross-country tests and also in most training sessions.
