Re: [RC] Riding Vest - desertrydr1Although many vests aren't certified by ASTM and SEI, the better ones are certified under a British system that is similar. I wish I could remember which of the vest websites I found the info about the British certification method, will try to find it. DON'T get one that is certified for jockeys, they aren't very protective at all.
I started looking for a vest when my mule bucked me off about a month ago. Did some serious soft tissue damage to my thoracic area, but nothing broken. Of course, soft tissue damage can be just as painful, and take a lot longer to heal. I look with great longing at the Aerowear Outlyne vests, but my budget is more suited to the cheaper ones. jeri

My issues came days after it was brought up during the last discussion on helmets and I thought it was very informative.
