Komperdell: Body Protectors for Women and Young Riders | Emmers Equestrian
Traditional body protection remains an essential part of a rider's safety kit, and Komperdell is a name generally associated with body protectors designed for women and younger riders. The range typically includes the Ballistic Flex Fit Slim, generally designed for women, alongside junior models such as the Ballistic Flex Fit Champion and Pro Junior, built with growing riders in mind.
Many riders choose a body protector like this as their main layer of protection, whether for everyday training, competition, or general yard safety.
A few tips for choosing:
- Get properly fitted first; a body protector should sit snugly without restricting movement, so it's worth checking sizing carefully
- Check current safety standards; it's worth confirming a body protector meets the certification required for your discipline or venue.
- Consider growing riders; junior sizing often needs rechecking as children grow.
- Think about flexibility; a close, articulated fit is often preferred for comfort during longer rides.
- Ask our team for fitting and hands-on advice, which can help you find the right size and style.
