The Natural Evolution: From Body Protectors to Performance Wear
For decades, Racesafe has been synonymous with equestrian protection. Our industry-leading body protectors have set the standard for safety, comfort, and innovation—giving riders the confidence to perform at their best. But as the sport has evolved, so have the needs of equestrians. Riders are demanding more from their apparel, looking for performance-driven clothing that offers the same level of innovation as their protective gear.
Enter the Racesafe Performance Collection—our next step in redefining equestrian apparel. This is the story of how we naturally evolved from protection to performance, developing technical clothing that meets the demands of modern riders.

A Legacy of Innovation
At Racesafe, we have always been focused on performance-first design. Our body protectors revolutionised rider safety with their lightweight, breathable materials, and refined fit, proving that protection doesn't have to come at the expense of comfort. These same principles—breathability, flexibility, and rider-first engineering—became the foundation of our new clothing line.
And while we’re expanding into high-performance equestrian clothing, body protection remains our bread and butter. Keeping riders safe will always be at the heart of what we do.
Why Clothing? Meeting the Modern Rider’s Needs
Equestrians don’t just need protection; they need clothing that works as hard as they do. Whether training at home, competing, or hacking out, riders demand moisture-wicking fabrics, sculpting fits, and all-day comfort.
We saw a gap in the market for high-performance equestrian clothing that balances technical function with contemporary style. And with our experience in advanced materials and rider-first design, it was a natural next step to apply that knowledge to apparel.
