Zandona protective vests are advanced protective solutions designed for rider safety in various equestrian disciplines – from recreational riding and show jumping to eventing and working with young horses. For years, the Zandona brand has specialized in producing certified protective equipment, combining Italian craftsmanship , modern materials, and rigorous safety testing.

Zandona vests were created to effectively protect the chest, back and spine , while ensuring high comfort of use, flexibility and freedom of movement while riding.

• absorption and dissipation of impact energy,

• protection of key torso areas,

• reducing the risk of injuries to the spine and internal organs,

• increased safety during sports and recreational driving.

Thanks to certification in accordance with European safety standards, Zandona vests are eagerly chosen by both amateurs and competitors.
