Body Protectors for a short torso?

[equestrianabbie]

Hi everyone,

I recently purchased a body protector, when I tried it on it didn't fit right on the shoulders but I was told with a bit of wear the shoulder straps would sink down. Needless to say they didn't and I had to take it back, no point having a body protector that wouldn't protect me, right.

So I was wondering if anyone knew of some good body protectors that are made for short torso's. I'm 5"11 but unfortunately all leg!

I have a race safe with a bit taken off the back. I would try to get measured and then they can tell you how much needs taking off, them they make one up to your size. Its a good excuse to go to a big horsey show / shopping event.

I also have a race safe , i initially had the standard length , but i changed it to the shorter length as it kept hitting the back of the saddle , they are really comfy ( as far as they can be ) as it has more sections to it , if i'm making any sense , google race safe and you'll see what I mean...

As above replies - you can't beat a How's Racesafe and they come in either standard back or short back, and if necessary made to measure

totally agree with comments about racesafe. I have one which was shortened by Treehouse.

Rodney Powell make them all made-to-measure (you need to get one fitted at a saddlery). When I got mine, my torso length didn't really fit into any of the categories so they made it to the correct length for me with no extra charge

The Airowear fits me nicely and seems to come in a huge number of options so you may find what you need.

Love the race safe ones I actually have a long one, I think they all come up a little short maybe?! Because I don't think I have a long torso, but Racesafe are great!
