We know it, we chose a dangerous sport 🤠 Indeed, what a strange idea to tame an animal that weighs more than 10 times our weight and moreover, to try to ride it? Okay, we, the riders, are weird 🤣 But that doesn't mean we are crazy and we want to increase our safety and for a few years now, a technology has made its way into the world of horseback riding: airbag vests ⚡️
The principle is simple, you put on the vest over your usual gear and you "connect" it to your saddle. When there is a fall, the distance between the vest and the saddle increases, triggering the airbag system. The vest will inflate in such a way as to surround you with an air cushion and thus protect you 😌
At Hit Air, the leaders in this market, you will find three models available in different colors:
1. The lightweight vest
This one has been designed to optimize the weight/protection ratio. Additionally, it offers a sleek, fairly discreet design. Once deployed, it will provide you with very complete protection of the spine, from the cervical vertebrae to the sacrum and coccyx 👌🏻
2. The complete vest
Even more complete, this model will be more encompassing. It unfolds during a fall thanks to a snap button system and offers wider airbag cushions for optimal protection 🔐
For even more safety, this vest is also equipped with two plates of memory foam on either side of the chest 💕
This model is particularly appreciated by competitors because it can definitely accompany you in your cross practice. However, please note that it is mandatory to wear your vest Hit Air OVER your usual protections for this discipline.
3. The Complete Vest II
This is the new addition to the family! You guessed it, safety is the battle horse of Hit Air (no pun intended!). It has been a few months since we discovered the little newcomer, the Complete Vest II. It features a removable integrated back protector and wider airbag cushions, which not only protect the spine but also safeguard our abdomen and chest.
Pssst : when you order a vest Hit Air, it is delivered "ready to use" with a new cartridge installed, its connection strap and its harness strap. To choose the size you need, feel free to refer to the "size guide" available on all product sheets Hit Air ❤️
