"The horse knows how I'm feeling, if I'm hot, tense or uncomfortable then so is the horse. Likewise if I'm cool, confident and relaxed. Powell sign, seal and deliver every time."
"When the pressure is on and things are tough, I need to be focusing on the job in hand NOT on my safety or my body armour. That's why I use Powell."
"I've tried them all over the years, but nothing even comes close to my Powell Equipment"
"The difference is in the detail. Obviously I want a quality product that provides maximum safety, but i also want a product that looks good, hence Powell Body Armour."



The 2010 versions of our most popular body protectors the ‘Elite’ and the ‘Pro’ now come with a choice of two different back options. The ‘Flexi-Back’ is for riders who want extreme comfort and flexibility. It utilises 4 layers of super-soft Nastec™ gel foam for rapid moulding to the wearers shape. The ‘X2ESP’ [Enhanced Spinal Protection] is for people who feel the need for increased spinal protection from their Body Protector. The centre back panel reduces the transmitted energy from sharp impacts to the spinal region to less than half the amount required to pass BETA Level 3
