The result of a rigorous design and development process, every piece in this dynamic new collection combines performance fabrics with superb fit and design features especially tailored for riders. Technical fabrics merge with streamlined silhouettes for clothing that will take you anywhere and everywhere.

The Aintree blouson jacket is fully waterproof and breathable, with taped seams to protect you from the elements whatever the weather and an anti-pill fleece lining for extra warmth. The Goodwood full zip hoodie, made from breathable anti-pill fleece, will help riders to maintain a consistent body temperature and features stylish long cuffs complemented by practical thumb loops. The striking Uttoxeter Smart and Southwell Sash polo shirts feature vibrant, heritage inspired embroideries alongside the iconic Champion laurel leaf. Other highlights of the range include a high-performance, fully breathable cross country top with reflective branding to help keep you safe at night, Champion high-performance socks and Champion baseball cap.

Expertly designed to provide maximum comfort without compromising on style, the new Champion clothing collection offers exceptional performance both on and off the horse; around the yard, at the racecourse and everywhere in between.

Sarah-Jane Fedarb, managing director of Finest Brands International (the company behind the Toggi and Champion brands) comments: “We first came across Jason when one of our team attended one of his clinics with her own horse. She was hugely impressed with Jason’s practical, easy to understand approach to training horses and his focus not only on the immediate end result, but on the whole journey to ensure safer, more progressive training for both horse and rider. It became clear to us that Jason and his ethos of ‘creating a balance between horse & rider’ was an approach that fits perfectly with our Toggi and Champion brands and we’re delighted to support Jason and his team in their work.”

Jason’s training is based around the practicalities of handling and riding horses with confidence and control, which lead to a safe and successful partnership. From his centre in Kent, Jason and his team specialise in starting young horses and retraining horses with behavioural and ridden problems and regularly conduct clinics and demonstrations nationwide.

On his new sponsorship, Jason comments “I’m so delighted to be working with Toggi and Champion as I’ve been a huge fan of their products for many years. My team and I are out in all weathers, all year round so it’s vital that we have the right gear to keep us warm, dry and comfortable, whatever the weather and our Toggi gear does this job to perfection! Safety is also crucially important to me. We have many youngsters and horses with challenging problems coming through the yard each year and it’s vital that my staff and I wear an up to standard riding hat to help keep us safe. I love my new Champion Air-Tech helmet as I can wear it comfortably all day long and with the peace of mind that it is made in Great Britain by Champion – a company with an outstanding reputation for safety.”

Presenting a new bespoke design for ladies only…

By introducing superlative flexibility into a design that offers a fit especially tailored for the female figure, without compromising protection and safety, Champion has designed its most comfortable body protector to date. This exceptional comfort is offered by a darted and tailored bust design, a slim and sculptured underarm for a close contact fit, and a broad shoulder panel with enhanced weight distribution.

However the benefits of the Freedom and Vanguard don’t stop there. Champion’s team of designers have come up with a revolutionary multi layered “Cut-Flex®” manufacturing process to maximise the body protectors Ultra light foams flexibility. In conjunction with this a new “HingeTek®” system has been incorporated into the tail of both the Freedom and Vanguard which allows the bottom of the protector to mould into the nape of the lower back which gives an unparalleled fit when Rider is in contact with the saddle. And by utilising a high-tech Polygiene treated inner lining with its powerful anti-bacterial and anti-odour properties, Champion have ensured that the Freedom and Vanguard will stay fresh 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, 365 days a year.

Both the Freedom and Vanguard offer all these excellent features and benefits and the difference between them is simple. The Vanguard Body Protector is a Tabard design while the Freedom incorporates a zipped front for ease of fitting while dressed for riding. To ensure that the Freedom offers similar levels of adjustability as the Vanguard, 4 elasticated side straps have been incorporated into the design, for great adjustment and the perfect fit.

The Freedom and Vanguard are available in 6 sizes: GL (Girls Large), GXL (Girls X-tra Large), WS (Women Small), WM (Women Medium), WL (Women Large) and WXL (Women X-tra Large) and they are they are available in 3 back lengths.
