Lovely hat silk much admired

We wanted the iconic silk hoops for eventing and racesafe did not disappoint! Gorgeous hatsilk well made that is much admired. We went for baby blue and white… my only advice is don’t select white as the base colour get your base and peak coloured so it doesn’t get dirty! Can’t wait to order another!

Growing Up With Racesafe

My daughter started riding when she was 4, and this is her third Racesafe protective vest. She started with the ProVent and loved it from day one. As a parent, safety is paramount, and I find great comfort in knowing she’s wearing one of the best vests on the market. The Motion 3 is a small upgrade from the ProVent—light, comfortable, and offering even greater flexibility. It provides top-tier protection without compromising on movement, which is exactly what we need. Highly recommend for any rider looking for safety and comfort!

Best perches I’ve made!

I brought a brought a race safe Motion light a couple of weeks ago and now I wear it every time a ride! I feel safer without the heavy weight body protector. It’s light weight feels means I can comfortably wear it all day, riding many ponies.
Thank you Racesafe, super product for a long days riding.

Amazing!

Very comfortable body protector and keeps me safe all the time. Never restricts my movement unlike other body protectors definitely recommend!

Stunning cross county set

My daughter absolutely loves her custom designed hat silk and body protector cover. It has been on her wish list for a long time and got to try out arena eventing on the weekend. Excellent design and it will be her go to cross country colours for years to come. Thank you Racesafe.

Beautiful!

Beautiful fabric, vibrant colors, high quality. First use, horse won! Lucky silks! #9 for the win! Ordering 2 more!

So comfortable a big improvement

I replaced my racesafe body protector because of rule changes at riding club level. I'm so happy with my new one it is so much lighter and comfortable. I forget I'm wearing it most times it's fab on hot days too it's not really sweaty. I bought the shoulder pads too which are easy to get on and off. I love that I'm protected if we part company and so comfy too.

The best body protector ever

The body protestor is the best I’ve had so far, light, won’t even notice I’m wearing it, looking professional and soooooo comfortable, allows you to move properly and I’m really feeling safe with it

Custom XC colours

Bought the new body protector to keep up with standards and also the custom silks. They fit so well and look great, so easy to put on and off, and wash when they get muddy too!
I ordered the colour mauve, thinking it was more on the pink side but it’s definitely a lilac colour. I actually prefer it and people compliment it all the time!

Comfortable Body Protector and really great customer service

The Motion 3 body protector is very light and fits perfectly. The quality seems very good.

Due to the lack of a good local reseller, I ordered the Motion 3 online. However, due to incorrect measuring, it was too small. This was resolved very professionally after good contact with customer service.

Massively upgraded comfit and fit.

With the National Governing bodies updating the requirement's for differing PPE including Body protectors to compete at BE and feel safe doing so I needed to replace my previous Racecafe Body protector which I already considered to be light and comfortable.

As a 6ft male rider fit can be difficult and often I have found body protectors to be uncomfortable and restrictive.

I contacted the Race safe team and they were able to make subtle changes and give advise and fitting to ensure my product was well fitted.

It is so light and comfortable, far beyond my expectations.

thank you so much - Peter.

Comfortable wear

Really comfortable fitting back protector. Light and flexible yet protective. Really happy with it

Great protection

Love the shoulder pads - having injured my shoulders in the past these are a must. I do find they are difficult to get in the right place on your own, but once there they are great.

Really comfortable

A really comfortable, quality body protector. This flexes and protects just wear it should. Best body protector I’ve worn, love it.

Don't know you are wearing it

Love this, you don't know you are wearing it so comfortable and well fitting giving me peace of mind I am protecting my back. Much nicer to wear than a full body protector for every day riding.

Best Body Protector on the Market

Having worn a Provent for years for day to day riding, I decided to upgrade to the Motion3 when the British Eventing standard changed and wow! This body protector is super comfy, lightweight and moves with you when you're riding, especially when jumping. It never feels bulky or catches on the saddle. Perfect body protector for any riding!

Very comfy

This is a really nice quality feeling product and when it's on it's so comfy I almost forget it's there. It's very snug fitting but this keeps it in place perfectly. I'm not a back protector wearer generally (only for xc) but I will happily wear this all year round.

Body protector

Feels very light. Fitted by a trained person so I do not even know I am wearing it. Much less sweaty than older styles!

So comfy & well made!

I love my Racesafe body protector. Not only does it mould within minutes making you feel secure in a little shell, but it is light and allows airflow, but also insulates in winter.
I have now purchased a couple of covers for when I go Arena Eventing and not wearing a bib, love to match, so covers are ideal. Of course I also love the Racesafe hat covers and but one every year for my birthday, I have one that’s over 20 years old! It’s in great condition as they are made with good quality material and craftsmanship.

Really comfortable body protector

I’ve had my body protector for a year now, and find it really comfortable and lightweight and not restricting. Very happy with the sizing and being able to choose a short back being short so it doesn’t interfere with the saddle!

Very comfortable

I wear this all the time for schooling and it’s so comfortable. Perfect for wearing under a coat and I hardly notice i’m wearing it. I do feel like it gives the spine good protection as well

So impressed

Never had I ever thought I would feel wrong not wearing it! I had worn a very old other branded protector in the past and hated it. So when I went for this wasn’t sure if it would work and I’d actually wear it. I now wear it every ride and it’s so lightweight I love it! It’s light and fits well and I loved how many options available to make sure it fitted correctly! I’m now even considering the light one for when competing and won’t even look at another brand!
