Did anyone see the Dainese body protectors at Burghley?

If so, have they got any idea which stand it was on? I wanted to look at some of their products on the internet, but I cannot for the life of me find them in the store list in the programme!

They are a well established and higher end motorcycle gear manufacturer. Did not know they had branched into the equine business. Really nice stuff (motorcycle)
 
It was the one that sold the professional choice Xc boots if that helps any?? I saw them on a stall in the world of the horse too. Like the look of the bp looks very comfy.
 
Yes I looked at the BP's... thought they looked very nice. Looked at them this evening on the internet, and it says level 1 protection... which I'm not quite sure about, as I'm pretty sure that they were level 3. Saw some protective jods I saw the look of on the same stall, and it wasn't the one in the world of the horse, I'm sure they were down row C.

However via a search on here I have found the ones that I wanted to buy online!
 
http://www.style-equestrian.co.uk is the website but it doesn't have any details on the Dainese body protectors.
I tried 5 manufacturer's body protectors at Burghley I went with the Dainese in the end because it's streets ahead of the others in terms of comfort , fit, simplicity and technical ingenuity. Just put it on, zip it up and it fits, follows all your contours and moves with you in every direction, no 'trussed turkey' feeling.
 
A quick Google of Dainese equestrian will bring up their site and the equestrian section,with all products. They say the Balios BP is level3. The Milton BP is level 1. Like the look of the jods-very 'Animo'...but with some science&purpose!
 
They were on the Ayr Equestrian stand. We bought a Balios - Level 3. It fits beautifully, is light and flexible and is streets ahead of the traditional equestrian names. The company has just branched out into the equestrian section. Would thoroughly recommend it despite the fact that they are not yet a common sight.
 
Yet I cant seem to find the Balios adult Level 3 on the Dainese site? Does it still exist? I really need a new bp, since airowear changed their women's sizing.
 
I found mine at the Treehouse stand there - very glad I waited till I could try one on as it turns out the Junior XL would've been too big (as would the Womens XS) so ended up with a Junior Large. If you're thinking about buying one online you need to be going for the one that you're on the upper end of size chart measurements for as they need to be rather snug (said by a Dainese rep).

I absolutely adore it - it's such a big change from my useless Harry Hall one. I've also got the padded XC breeches and they're awesome, though it's worth going up a size with these as they're a bit tight/not vanity sized.
