very uncomfortable vest
I found this vest extremely awkward to put on and very uncomfortable. I returned it.

Great vest but not for Western
This is a great vest, comfort and quality-wise. However it was too long in the back to fit with my Western Dressage Saddle cantle.
For English riders or Western riders with a low cantle, this vest would be perfect. Rated a 4 in durability because it looked sturdy but I never rode in it so I don't know for sure.

Difficult fit on full-figured woman
Sadly I had to return this vest, though I wanted to like it quite badly. I simply could not comfortably fit my upper chest into it and the fit under the arms was too bulky. However, the quality of workmanship and materials looked great and I'm sure if it fits your body shape then it would be a lovely vest and very protective.

Great Vest
I bought this vest because of it's safety ratings and could not be more pleased with it's comfort and fit. It is so comfortable, really conforms to your body. And actually fits my tall torso - it covers my tailbone without letting the shoulders out, and covers my ribs. Aside from the heat generated, I forget I'm wearing it. GREAT product!

Great vest but not for Western
This was a great vest, comfortable, able to adjust many ways but the spine length interfered with the cantle on my Western saddle.
Very suitable for intermediate hunter/jumper or event type riding. This was more vest than I needed.
Exchanged it for the Tipperary Ride Lite which is shorter in the back and better suited to my riding style.

excellent vest
Bought to replace my old tipperary vest. After reading many reviews i decided on this one. Loved the high safety standards, and the fit is excellent, very lightweight and flexible.
