Phoenix Performance Bull Riding Protective Vests

From Josh Peters recent article;

What about mixed-martial arts and UFC fighters who pummel and pound each other senseless?

Moraes, who is 38 and estimates he has broken 20 bones during his bull riding career, said he’s impressed with the men who climb into the octagon. But he also said there’s an important distinction between man-to-man combat and battles that pit man against beast.

“Those guys can say, ‘OK, I’ve had enough.’ They can tap out,” he said. “We cannot. Once the eight seconds start, you can’t stop.”

It's hard to believe, but the reality is that Thanksgiving and Christmas are just around the corner! And with that brings us to the busiest time of our year here at US Rodeo Supply.

As a reminder, we strongly encourage you not to wait till the last minute if you are gift giving.... especially when it comes to protective vests, chaps and bull ropes. Although throughout the year we do stock these items, each of these are the most in demand items at the holidays.

We recommend getting in on the front end of the rush to make sure you can receive your item in time for the Holidays.

Sooooo....when does the rush hit? It has already started! However clearly the day after Thanksgiving all the way through March is INSANE busy and things start to really stack up.

If you have questions, by far the fastest way to get help is via e-mail or opening a case at the bottom of our web-store. The second fastest is via phone 1-515-266-0800 (keep in mind we have limited staff - we're not Wal-Mart)

PS: Apparently the election was a good thing, because everyone is spending money!

We offer complete bull riding gear packages from beginner to pro and can make it work with your budget. We staff full time experienced bull riders that have used all of the products that we sell and can help guide you to the best option based on your level and budget.

Please contact us by calling 1-515-266-0800. We can discuss exactly what you need.

For best results use a cloth tape measure and reference the red line on the picture above. Wrap the tape around the knuckles while making a loose fist. Example: 7, 7 1/2, 8, 8 1/2, 9, 9 1/2. Please contact us if you need help or if you require a custom size.

**Please note the B-BAR-B Wedge Bull Riding gloves size smaller than most standard gloves by a 1/2 to Full Size. Example: You measure around equaling 8", you will require a size 8 1/2 or 9 based on how you like them to fit.

FYI* We will gladly exchange any unused glove for a correct size.

All Youth & Adult Rodeo Chaps require three primary measurements;
 
1) WAIST - Measure around the portion of the waist that you desire for your new chaps to ride. Some like them a bit lower, some higher. A general rule of thumb is around the base of the the belt loops. All chaps will have adjustable back belts and front strap adjustment to allow for changes.
 
2) UPPER THIGH - Measure around the largest portion of your upper thigh. All chaps do come standard with three adjustable leg straps for further adjustment.
 
3) OUTSEAM - By far the most important and most common mistake made. Do not guess. Do not provide blue jean measurements. We require you to provide us with the true outseam measurement as shown above. Even if you are giving the chaps as a gift, it is better to be safe than sorry. Use a cloth tape measure and go from the top of the waist down the OUTSIDE of the leg to the floor with boots on. The measurement you provide for the outseam will include fringe.
 
*Certain Kids & Youth Chaps are only available in set outseams as indicated in each product listing. Be sure to reference the above image to be sure they will fit correctly.
