it Conforms to BETA 2000, EN13158: 2000 Performance level 3 standards.

This is the same level as aerowear body protectors
 
The Racesafe ones don't feel as 'stiff' because their protective foam stuff is in separate blocks, but in a solid structure. This means they're more flexible, and mould to the body better.
They're lightweight, and are really good IMO.
I've taken a few tumbles in mine and haven't really felt it the next day.

Soph, if you want you can borrow mine to try it out and see what you think of it?
 
They are actually arguably safer than the fixed ones as they allow you to tuck and roll - no BP will save you if your horse was to land on you (god forbid) but the ability to tuck and roll away from the horse could well save your life.
As also said above, they are the highest level of safety (level 3).
