Ride your horse with new peace of mind: the Soft Active Vest Pro Adult Back Protector by Zandona sets new standards in equestrian back protection. Designed to meet the real demands of riders from all backgrounds, it offers advanced spinal protection combined with an unrivaled sense of lightness and freedom of movement. Its ergonomic design, stemming from Zandona’s Italian expertise, combines innovation, reliability, and daily comfort. Ideal for anyone who places safety and well-being at the heart of their riding practice, this back protector accompanies you wherever you go, whether in the arena or outdoors, with complete discretion.
Comprehensive protection and breathable comfort
While many protectors offer only the bare minimum, the Soft Active Vest Pro redefines the balance between safety and portability for truly unrestricted use. Its multi-layered structure, focused on your back, shields the spine while minimizing bulk. Its secret lies in the exclusive Esatech system featuring a hexagonal structure: this honeycomb mesh, positioned on the outside, efficiently dissipates impact energy and acts as a true shield against unexpected falls or blows.
The inner part, made from innovative E.V.C padding, provides optimal support. This lightweight, waterproof material molds perfectly to the rider’s body: it absorbs and distributes shocks while remaining flexible and comfortable, even during prolonged use. The back channel is thus protected, from the base of the neck down to the lower back, with no uncomfortable rigid feeling during movement or transitions in the saddle.
Adjustable belt and total freedom
Effective protection should never restrict the rider’s movement. With this in mind, the Soft Active Vest Pro incorporates an adjustable elastic belt at the waist, ensuring a made-to-measure fit for all adult body shapes. This innovative support system guarantees the back protector stays perfectly in place without riding up or sliding, no matter your discipline.
Thanks to its front zipper, the vest is easy to put on and take off, even with gloves. Wide shoulder openings and a cut-out under the arms ensure total freedom for all figures, jumps, or movements. Whether worn under or over your jacket, you'll forget it's even there after just a few moments.
Shock-absorbing technology and innovative materials
What sets the Soft Active Vest Pro apart is its combination of two major technologies. The E.V.C padding (Evoluted Viscoelastic Cells) creates a highly effective barrier: this shock-absorbing and water-repellent material efficiently shields the back and chest while providing continuous ventilation. The result: even in heat or during intense sessions, the inside of the vest stays dry, and perspiration is wicked away quickly.
The Esatech System on the surface works in tandem: this honeycomb shell absorbs high impact energy, distributing force throughout the structure for enhanced safety along the full length of the spine. The entire back protector is designed to be flexible and low-profile when not in use, instantly stiffening upon impact to deliver protection exactly when needed.
Breathability and lightness: designed to be worn… every day
The ability to protect yourself without compromise while preserving comfort has guided every step in this back protector’s development. The technical fabric on the outer layer is highly breathable: it promotes airflow with its tightly woven yet airy mesh, preventing any sense of excessive heat under your jacket or coat. The whole vest weighs just a little over a kilo, letting you use it both for intensive training sessions and long horseback rides.
Its size and fit are suitable for all adult body types thanks to the variety of available sizes and wide adjustability. No detail is left to chance, so you can ride in the best possible conditions, in the ring, on cross-country, or in the arena.
For which riders?
Designed for everyone, the Soft Active Vest Pro is perfect both for newcomers seeking their first back protector and experienced riders aiming to enhance their protection. Essential during jumping lessons, dressage training, or any field activity, it’s also ideal for leisure riding and regular use at the riding club. Its slim design and discretion under clothing make it an asset for both competitors and recreational riders concerned about their safety.
