Protector

Armour, base layers and rain gear

Separate protectors fall under EN 1621, part 1 for limbs and part 2 for the back. Level 2 passes less force through than level 1 and is usually slightly thicker. Back protectors are made per back length, so measure from neck to hip before picking a size. Base layers move moisture away so you do not chill, and rain gear only works if it fits generously over your kit.

• Level 1 or level 2 on the armour label
• Measure back length for a back protector
• Rain suit one size up from your normal size

Finding the right size

Sizing differs per brand. Every product page carries that brand chart, and the size advisor walks you to the right size in a few steps. Between two sizes, riding gear usually fits better one size down, because armour needs to stay where it belongs.
