EQUILIN TREC  TABARD
Contact Lin Gregory as aove
The Equilin Trec  Tabard has been designed to wear over your own clothing and to carry all  the small items required for Trec, such as your compass. It has been  designed to work with your own map case which velcros on to the front of  the tabard to stop the map case flapping as you ride and potentially  hitting you in the face. It works with A4 and A3 map cases, in particular  Outdoor Design (which can be bought from Performance Equestrian) or Orlieb. It comes in the same colours as the  Saddle System (see above). The tabard has pockets with flaps back and  front and conforms to the BHS requirement for reflective clothing. It has  a pocket for your compass and several pockets for pens. A plastic pocket  has been included on the front for ID or a health card and another large  plastic pocket on the back for a competitor's number or any other details.  There are plenty of clips on the shoulders to attach various items, such  as your whistle or compass lead. It is light to wear, doesn't hold water  or make you hot and can of course be used out hacking as well as for Trec  or Endurance. The tabard is £39.95 plus p&p.
