Hit-Air Vest: Understanding Sizing & Selection Guide
Hit-Air vests have adjustable waistbands and will fit a range of heights and weights. The original styles are designed to fit comfortably and loose and can be worn alone or over a regulation cross-country protective vest.
Chelan to add some copy here about sizing considerations for the original, in particular the different height specifications.
The New Prestige Models are not intended to be worn over a cross-country vest. They are designed to fit more snug than the original models but still comfortable and unobtrusive.
Following is a guide on sizing and model selection. Your Hit Air Equestrian Canada fit expert, Chelan Kozak, will provide personal recommendations based on her experience.
