TEK 08

Lightweight Protection for Everyday Riding

The Westek TEK 08 Protective Vest brings advanced rider protection to everyday equestrian activities. Designed for trail riders, endurance riders, ranch hands, and recreational riders, this vest offers reliable impact protection in a lightweight, low-profile design that stays comfortable throughout long days in the saddle.

High-density HDPE protective panels shield the chest, back, and sides while dispersing impact energy during unexpected falls or livestock contact. The vest’s proprietary synthetic shell is engineered to be twice as strong as traditional leather while remaining lighter and more flexible for everyday use.

Adjustable shoulder straps and a streamlined ergonomic design provide a secure fit without restricting movement, making the TEK 08 ideal for riders who need protection that moves naturally with them.
