The body protector is made of excellent materials and is manufactured under strict quality control, according to the European
Standard EN 13158:2009. It is classified as level III which is the highest protection level in EN 13158:2009.
Classification: Protecto light BETA Safety Vests are manufactured according to state-of-the-art technology to ensure protec-
tion according to EN 13158 for the respective protection class:
Level 1 (I): minimal protection for professional jockeys
Level 2 (II): protection for activities with low risk involving leisure horses
Level 3 (III): enhanced protection while handling leisure horses and during competitions. This level is recommended for persons
who work with horses and there could be a risk of the horse kicking.
Warning: Read and follow the instructions.
• Attention: This body protector is for equestrian use only and is intended for horse riders and those working with horses. It
is intended to provide some protection from impact consequent on falling from horses. Such impacts may be against soft or
hard ground, or objects such as trees, vehicles, posts or rails. Injuries involving severe torsion, flexion, extension or crushing
of the body will not be prevented. Spinal protection is not provided. Injuries cannot be entirelyprevented but should be
reduced in severity.
• Make sure that the body protector is of the correct size and fits perfectly. A perfect fit is
obtained when the body protector is adjusted to give a close fit – see fitting instructions below!
• Any alteration or improper use of the body protector may dangerously reduce the protection capacity!
• The inside foam is sensitive to extreme temperatures. It can become fragile and breakable at
low temperatures and its protection level can be reduced if it is exposed to high temperatures.
• This garment should be replaced if it shows signs of deterioration of the foam. Signs of deterioration can include areas where
the foam has thinned or been crushed, or where it feels excessively loose. Inspect the garment regularly for such signs!
• For additional protection, users are advise to wear a helmet!
Fitting instructions: Choose your size from the sizing table included in these instructions. Important: when the straps are
fastened and the red coloured Velcro is visible beyond the end of the straps, then choose the next largest size. If the garment
when adjusted is too loose then choose the next smallest size.
The product is fitted correctly when
• it feels comfortable but not too loose
• the straps are secured and cover fully the red coloured Velcro
It will be found that the body protector moulds to the contours of the body and loose its initial stiff feel after a few minutes wear.
Care Instructions: Only clean the outer side of the safety vest, use lukewarm water and mild detergent. Close all openings
and fasten all straps to avoid damaging the material. Avoid using solvents or other aggressive agents. This can lead to damage
and thus inhibit its protective effect.
Washing and Care Instructions:
Storage: Store the jacket flat in a clean and dry place. Avoid direct sunlight and extreme temperatures. Do not place any
objects on the jacket.
Care: We recommend examining the jacket regularly for defects. Damage to the shock-absorbing insert can be detected by re-
duced material thickness or softening. Should you have doubts about its safety performance, do not continue use of the jacket.
In the case of an accident and heavy stress to the protective jacket, it should always be replaced.
