Level 3 protection: the ultimate requirement for your safety
The Motion 3 Body Protector is designed to deliver Level 3 protection in accordance with the EN13158:2018/ BETA 2018 standard. This is the highest certification level for rider body protective equipment, recommended for all high-risk disciplines and required in eventing. This body protector absorbs violent impacts and effectively dissipates the energy of a blow, thus reducing the risk of injury in the event of a fall or on-horse accident.
Its multi-layer structure fits the body perfectly and covers the vital areas of the torso, providing protection for the ribs, back, and internal organs. Whether worn over a light polo shirt or under a jacket, it guarantees full protection no matter the intensity of your riding—competitions, training, demanding trail rides, or daily sessions in the arena.
Lightness and freedom: natural movement at its best
Its featherweight will surprise you: every model of the Motion 3 stands out for its ability to be forgotten after only a few minutes of wear. Weighing significantly less than most traditional body protectors, the Racesafe body protector becomes a discreet yet game-changing ally for your equestrian performance.
Racesafe’s exclusive engineering uses more than 120 articulated segments that move independently, imitating the rider's natural mobility. You retain complete freedom of movement for jumping, galloping, leaning, or adjusting your position without restriction. The flexible sections contour the back, shoulders, and sides, avoiding the uncomfortable rigidity often associated with classic body protectors. In any circumstance, you benefit from maximum mobility with no compromise on safety.
Breathability and thermal comfort: a major breakthrough
No detail is overlooked to offer optimal comfort to the rider, even during the longest training days or sunny competitions. The Motion 3 Body Protector pushes the boundaries of breathability thanks to its combination of perforated foams and its external mesh fabric. This system ensures highly effective heat dissipation, reducing perspiration and avoiding any feeling of dampness or heaviness.
The result: your body temperature remains stable and comfortable, while the protector stays pleasantly light on your shoulders—even as your effort intensifies. It's ideal for multiple rounds, moving from the arena to cross-country, or facing summer heatwaves during competitions.
Ergonomic adjustment & exceptional adaptability
The Motion 3 is designed to instantly fit all body shapes. Its elastic side adjustment systems allow for quick and precise fitting, ensuring an optimal close-to-body feel. No matter your stature—child, junior, or adult—each size offers an adjustment range tailored to fit your shape without pressure or looseness.
The central front zipper system, combined with a symmetrical design, makes putting on and removing the vest easy, even with gloves or at the end of your ride. You can wear the Motion 3 over a t-shirt, competition outfit, or a light coat while remaining perfectly protected.
Who is the motion 3 racesafe body protector for?
Thanks to its perfect balance between safety and comfort, the Motion 3 meets the needs of all riders, from young competitors just starting out to passionate adults. It is especially aimed at those wanting to overcome the constraints of a traditional vest and rediscover pleasure and spontaneity on horseback, without ever sacrificing protection.
It is particularly recommended for Eventing (CCE), a discipline requiring a Level 3 certified body protector, but also for show jumping, preparatory dressage, trail riding, or hacking. Its comfort and flexibility also make it the ideal choice for learning sessions, vaulting, or any equestrian sport where agility must always go hand in hand with safety.
Technology & manufacturing: racesafe excellence
The Motion 3 Body Protector is the result of extensive research by Racesafe, a renowned British manufacturer and partner of many champions and equestrian institutions.
