Woof Wear Body Cage Exo ....

Can anyone PM me the link too please? Pretty please?! Only I'm having a real conumdrum about body protectors and having broken my back last year want all the protection I can get now I'm back in the saddle. I thought they had stopped making the Exo.
thanks x
 
I've just got one...yeah!! hopefully in the correct size...it was a case of a quick tape measure and go! thanks very much xx

I think it might be - I'm 5ft2 (on a good day!!) and I have the A2S and would not want it any shorter. Both the horse and I look a bit special in this, but it's a candid shot my OH took and shows the length quite well!

I can't see why people say they look big on - I wouldn't notice that was anything but a normal bp!

Thank you! I did try there earlier but used a slightly different search term :rolleyes: I've bought one, I'm not sure if it might be a tad too short as its pretty hard to measure over the shoulder on your own but my kan is a shorter one so fingers crossed, plus for £25 I doubt I'll lose on it!
 
Just bought one too - been looking for ages and paid £100 for last one that turned out not to be the short size they advertised it as (they did give me a full refund though). I too have a Kan and a rearing mare but mainly wanting it for the rotationals XC.
 
They seem like an amazing piece of kit! I would dearly love one, found one on ebay for an amazing price :eek: I can just imagine turning up the secretaries tent with an Allan key would be fun over here in Aus :p I imagine it would be a rather interesting conversation: 'you want us to unscrew your back protector if you need medical assistance? What?!?'

If I could get one in my size, I think I would buy one. Would make me feel a lot more secure even when just hacking alone. I had a 'moment' yesterday, which just made me think I could be in a bad way for hours before someone found me, so a little bit more safety equipment isn't a bad idea!
 
Just wanted to ask - has anyone fallen off in an exo? Wondered if it felt any different because of the cage? They are such a good idea, such a shame they havent taken off.

Yes, I have, and no, it didn't! Though I didn't have a bruise on me where the exo sits (I went into a XC fence), and I hurt less than similar falls with my normal BP in the past.
 
I'd love one as I think it would make me feel a lot more confident, having already had one rotational fall. Pm, please, anyone? I suspect short is going to be too short, but worth a punt anyway.

Thanks for that SC, may definitely be worth a try for £25.

I do hope there are some left for the OP though :)
 
I have also fallen in mine a couple of times now and agree, certainly no more awkward than a normal Bp. Only awkward bit for me is getting on my 16.3hh when I am wearing it as he is a fidget, and I am a midget! But that's not much better in my old Bp tbh!!
 
Can anyone tell me if there is any adjustment in the width of these? I fall between sizes A2 and A3 width wise - 1cm away from A2 but a couple under A3 but will fit the short length, I've put up with my RP too wide and long for a few years now and would love one of these.... might need to live on lettuce for a couple of weeks to loose that 1cm... :)
 
there is no adjustment in the width of the cage as it locks into place, BUT they do stand off the body quite a lot (i prefer it, get a bit of air up there, i don't overheat as much in my Exo as i have in RPs in the past), i think the chest size is fairly important but the waist size isn't so much, if that makes sense...
well, having said which, there IS a way to adjust the width, Reed Ayres in the States has worked out a way to alter his and it still locks and works just fine, so at a push, it is doable...

I fall off all the time and I don't think it feels different (though I've not worn a different BP for 12 years....). Quite easy to roll away from horse in.
 
Thanks Kerilli, it's the waist measurement I am slightly over on so it may not be too big a problem. I think I'll take the chance and get one and if it really doesn't fit me it'll make a great birthday present for my slimmer sister in law...! :)
 
Emma I didn't think you were selfish & I'm really glad you got yours. I was almost at the point of PMing you & offering to get it on your behalf, then you could have just paid me back on Tues.
There's a huge history attached to these with regard to marketing & the PR hatchett job that made sure they were never a commercial success, but in the event of a rotational fall they offer a real level of protection.
