Lightweight Body Protector for hacking

[kerrymaid]

Im having a minefield with body protectors I dont want one too bulky or heavy as Im only small myself...any recs??

Yes, dont take any notice of what other people recommend. e.g. Airowear, Champion Cobra, Racesafe. All have their staunch supporters on this Board.
But you have to buy the bp that fits you properly.
Go and try some on, take time and trouble and ask the saddlers to order in your size if necessary. Then buy the one that fits you best. Being small wont be a problem. Most good bps come in child sizes.

lol you've been told not to take advice, bt i like my airowear body brotector, it really shapes to fit me. I am small and have it in a child size and it's fab.
Cost about 70-90 pounds. It\s black, zips up and can be adjusted at the sides. I always wear mine, hacking, schooling, show jumping, xc, it's great

I have an airowear one and i find it comfy enough and it fits me well, but i've borrowed my friend's race safe one a few times and i think it is probably the most comfortable out of all the body protectors i've tried, i think it is a good bit more expensive than most others, but definitley worth the money.
