Body Protector for Equestrians

The aim of this prediploma-project was to create a thinner body protector, that provides as much flexibility as possible, while covering the whole torso. Using an almost forgotten material called „Linothorax“, which was used for armours in ancient times, makes the body protector, breathable, temperature-equalizing and lightweight. The material is biodegradable, since it consists of several layers of linen and starch glue.
