I have always worn a Racesafe body protector. For the past year I have been wearing an air vest as well.
I am starting to think though that the body protector is superfluous and may even do more harm than good in a fall.
In Xc comps I will still wear both, but for hacking and Xc schooling just wear the air vest. It's obviously less bulky, cooler and more comfy.
Is that what what most people with an air vest do? Is it safer with both do you think or no difference? (I'm an old chook on a flighty, spooky,fit Anglo-Arab!).
