Effectiveness of body protectors in heat.

[Dutch1horse]

I am soon moving to abroad to work with horses and considering getting a body protector as I will be dealing with stallions and young horses. There was a previousost questioning wether the body protectors still work in high temperatures but there was no answer to the thread. So does anyone know if it is worth the discomfort for the protection ? Will it still be effective in 30 degrees + ?

Not sure why it wouldnt work in the heat I wear mine in all weathers. The only down side to wearing one when its hot is that it makes you sweat buckets. I would just wear one anyway if just for your peace of mind.

Race jockeys and eventers wear them when competing abroad so I would say they'd be fine.

The point made was the heat effects the density of the foam. Anyone got a more definate answer?
