Ten years collaboration with Orthopaedic surgeons and riding professionals has produced this one-of-a-kind patented Rider Gilet by 4DflexiSPORT.
We elected to use a gilet design to influence the entire torso and gain the ultimate benefit for posture. Cleverly concealed working components combine to bring the shoulders back, stabilise the shoulder blades and align hips with shoulders and spine. Powerful elements lift the diaphragm, freeing hips to absorb the activity of the horse resulting in lighter hand-to-horse contact.
Unlike most postural gadgetry the Rider Gilet does not weaken musculoskeletal structures or create dependency. Instead, it improves posture providing bio-feedback and re-trains muscle memory for better symmetry and a stronger core.
Made from our unique high-tech breathable fabrics, the Rider Gilet fits neatly under a back protector and is permitted as an outer layer in competitions.
