In the last year or so, I've actually been thinking of buying one of the 'waistcoats' (don't know the English name) that eventers use. There has been some really bad accidents in the neigbourhod with injuries that COULD have been much less serious if the riders would have had one waistcoat on. A friend of mine bought one years ago and she says that she got used to it very fast and now she feels that something's really missing when she doesn't wear it. > > Does anyone have experience from the waistcoats?
