We know , we have chosen a dangerous sport 🤠 Indeed, what a funny idea to tame an animal that is more than 10 times our weight and what's more, try to ride on it ? Ok, we, the riders, are weird 🤣 But we are not crazy and want to increase our safety and for several years a technology has made its place in the horse riding world: aibag vests ⚡️
The principle is simple , you put the vest on over your usual equipment and you “connect” it to your saddle. When there is a fall , the distance between the vest and the saddle increases and this triggers the air bag system. The vest will inflate 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 was designed to optimize the lightness/protection ratio . In addition, this gives it a clean, fairly discreet design. Once deployed it will offer you very complete protection of the spine , from the cervical to the sacrum and coccyx 👌🏻
2. The complete vest
Even more complete, this model will be more encompassing . It deploys during a fall thanks to a snap button system, and offers larger airbag cushions for an optimal level of protection 🔐
For even greater safety , this vest is also equipped with two memory foam plates on either side of the thorax 💕
This model is particularly appreciated by completists because it can perfectly support you in your cross country practice. Be careful though, it is obligatory to wear your Hit Air vest OVER your usual protection for this discipline.
3. The complete vest II
He'sthe new kid in the family ! You will have understood, security is Hit Air's main focus ( no pun intended !). So it's been a few months since we discovered the latest one , the complete vest II. It has a removable integrated back and larger airbag cushions , beyond protecting the spine, it also protects our abdomen and thorax.
Pssst : when you order a Hit Air vest, it is delivered "ready to use" with a new cartridge installed, its connection strap and its saddle strap. To choose the size you need, do not hesitate to refer to the “ size guide ” present on all Hit Air product sheets ❤️
