With more accidents happening (quoted by EBM magazine) whilst out hacking than riding cross country, protective clothing including a hat and body protector is essential for all riders, whether they are competing or not. EBM examines the options:

Outlyne by Airowear:
Available sizes: 30
Available colours: Navy or Black & Graphite
Materials: UltraFlex Technology for flexibility. Contrasting textured fabric.
Types of fastenings & materials: Zip fastening with a placket over the zip. Separate chest, waist and shoulder fastenings for an adaptable fit.

The Outlyne is designed specifically for females of all shapes and sizes and is soft and flexible as well as finished in a fantastic, technical style.

It incorporates a new sizing concept that correlates a female's height with their proportions, allowing more women to fit into a standard sized body protector.

Tapered foam and angoled straps provide a snug, comfortable fit and darted foam across the chest provides comfort and support over the bust.
