Push the boundaries of your riding safety with the Xcudo Adult Back Protector by Equiline, a benchmark in preventing spinal injuries. The result of renowned Italian expertise and advanced biomechanical research, Xcudo represents a major step forward for the modern rider’s protection: an unprecedented combination of technology, discretion, and comfort for demanding equestrians committed to performance yet uncompromising on safety. For optimal safety during your riding activities, many equestrians choose a back protector for horse riding tailored to their needs.
Level 2 structural protection: essential for your spine
Because every fall or impact can compromise the integrity of your spine, Equiline has designed Xcudo around CE EN 1621-2 Level 2 certified protection. This standard is the strictest for equestrian back protectors, ensuring a superior absorption of impacts, precisely where safety is paramount. Xcudo is not just a layer of padding: its innovative structure efficiently distributes and absorbs energy along the spine, from the neck down to the lower back—a true barrier against major trauma and vertebral bruising. Every fiber and every cushion of the Xcudo back protector is designed to limit shock transmission, allowing riders to regain confidence and peace of mind, whatever their discipline.
- Targeted protection: Its core consists of a technical, multi-layered foam, whose absorption and diffusion properties prevent pressure points and protect the spinal cord across the entire curved surface of the back.
- Shock-absorbing padding: The dynamic absorption technology ensures the Xcudo protector compresses upon impact—safeguarding the vertebral structure and reducing injury risk in the event of a fall or collision with an obstacle.
Ergonomics and lightness: total freedom of movement
Designed to follow the rider’s natural motion, the Xcudo protector features an ultra-slim profile and an anatomical design that remains discreet and flexible while staying effective at all gaits. The cut perfectly hugs the adult back without causing discomfort, whether training, competing, or spending long hours in the saddle. Large panels of micro-perforated fabric provide exceptional breathability, wicking away heat, sweat, and moisture during exertion: the Xcudo protector is easily forgotten while flawlessly fulfilling its protective role.
- Fully micro-perforated: Its breathable materials guarantee continuous ventilation, reducing heat build-up and the discomfort often feared with conventional protective gear.
- Designed for lightness: Optimal density means the Xcudo weighs barely more than a simple vest, ensuring superior comfort for the rider, never impeding movement or feeling heavy.
Discretion and style: invisible in any circumstance
One of the main strengths of the Xcudo back protector is its absolute discretion. This model, with its deep black color and smooth surface, is virtually invisible under a jacket or vest. Its close-fitting cut ensures perfect support without unwanted bulk, allowing riders to present the most elegant and professional silhouette demanded by the sport. The V-shaped neckline offers a refined finish while freeing the nape and base of the neck, for a "second skin" effect, greater comfort, and unrivalled shoulder freedom.
- Discreet look: The Xcudo slips effortlessly under all standard riding clothes, without affecting your appearance, even at the most dress-code-focused competitions.
- Precise fit: Designed for all adult body shapes, it fits a wide range of sizes and stays securely in place regardless of movement.
Italian innovation and premium manufacturing
Entirely crafted in Italy, the Xcudo protector reflects Equiline’s commitment to detail and the desire to combine style with technical performance. Careful finishes, a reinforced central insert, and discreet stitching make this model resistant to intensive use while maintaining its flexibility after each wash. Its hybrid structure allows for excellent shape recovery, never deforming or losing its protective properties—even with repeated use, season after season.
Who is the xcudo back protector best for?
The Xcudo is designed for all adults, both women and men, who want to enhance their riding safety with lightweight, discreet equipment. It suits beginners interested in adopting the best safety habits as well as experienced riders training regularly or trying out higher-risk disciplines (show jumping, eventing, hunter, leisure riding, or trail riding over varied terrain). Especially recommended for training sessions, groundwork, or riding, whether in the arena or outdoors, the Xcudo is an essential choice whenever back protection becomes a priority.
Easy care and everyday practicality
Because safety equipment must remain clean and functional, the choice of materials makes caring for the back protector easy: simply wipe clean with a damp sponge to maintain all its technical and aesthetic qualities. Its abrasion resistance and high-quality components ensure a flawless appearance season after season. To complement the rider’s safety, many solutions exist, such as the equestrian safety vest, to suit your needs and chosen discipline.
Choose uncompromising safety, lightness, and everyday elegance.
