Waxed cotton vest with level 1 back protection, fixed thermal lining and reinforced safety seams
Details
Description
Introducing a unique CE riding vest full of character. Built to go over a riding shirt, hoody or jacket, the Bobber vest has been made from a Scottish, Halley Stevenson antique finish waxed cotton. Over time the desert finish will crack and distress to reveal a unique pattern to each vest. The Bobber vest is also CE certified to level C (over jacket without sleeves) meaning that it meets the strict CE requirements for abrasion, tear and seam strength. Riders benefit from a pre-fitted and removable D3O Ghost Viper back protector, a lightweight 80gsm thermal lining and pockets. As a waxed cotton product this is the perfect wind breaker, thermal and water repellent option. The water repellency comes in the form of a fluorocarbon C0 free treatment (PFA free) through the use of plant based wax.
