Event Rider

Gemma Thornton

"The Motion3 has completely changed how I feel XC. Older level 3 protectors always felt so stiff and bulky around my shoulders, but the 120+ independent segments mold to my back instantly. I get full BETA Level 3 protection without feeling like I'm wearing a cage."

SHOW JUMPER

Marcus Hayes

"Finding a vest that fits a longer torso without restricting movement was always a struggle until the Motion3. The redesigned sizing framework is spot-on, and swapping in the optional shoulder protectors was seamless. It's easily the lightest, most comfortable body protector I've worn."

SHOW JUMPER

Liam Vance

"Maximum mobility is non-negotiable over big tracks. The multi-foam flexibility in the Motion3 lets me stay completely fluid in my two-point position without the back hitting the saddle. Plus, the airflow through the mesh actually keeps me cool during warmups."

EVENT RIDER

Chloe Bennett

“I've really enjoyed riding in the VeloAir, it's so subtle and the colour choices match my show jacket really closely.”

Care and Maintenance

How should I clean my Motion 3 body protector?

If your protector becomes dirty from use, it should be wiped clean with water only. The technical materials are designed for durability, but you must avoid using any harsh cleaning agents to maintain their integrity.

Can I use detergents or wash it in a machine?

No. You must not use bleach or detergents, and you should never machine wash the garment. These can damage the protective foam and safety-certified components.

What is the best way to store the protector when not in use?

The Motion 3 should be hung in a dry place away from direct heat sources, such as radiators, or laid flat. Proper storage helps the protector maintain its tailored, flexible shape.

When does the Motion 3 need to be replaced?

Generally, a body protector should be inspected for damage after any significant fall and replaced if the internal structure has been compromised.

How do I know if my Motion 3 still fits correctly
