As well as the obvious protection from shock absorption, the jacket distributes pressure and above all,
effectively supports the spinal column so that the neck and trunk have limited movement.
For your protection, a simple “click” is all it takes to connect you to the saddle.
If you are unseated or thrown from a horse the airbag system is designed to deploy and be effective in 0.1 seconds!
The Lanyard of the jacket connects with the nylon stirrup straps at the front of the saddle. After the rider has mounted the saddle,
he or she clips the 2 ends together. The Lanyard enables full movement in all directions for the rider. The airbag will only be activated
if the rider is separated from the horse. The airbag jacket will then inflate within 0.1 seconds, protecting the all important areas of the body,
the collar of the neck, ribs and coccyx.
The new system starts to operate in 0.1 of a second, so inflation begins in less than 25 cm of a drop.
Reusable after simple replacement of the CO² gas cartridge.
The highly resistant polyester fabric Jacket or Gilet is washable once the airbag has been removed.
Just in case you missed it:
The Vest deploys in ONE TENTH of a SECOND.
Deployment / Inflation begins at LESS 10 INCHES of drop.
Tthe best part, this vest, is REUSEABLE!
unlike your helmet ( hint hint) which will need replacing with any fall
Just repack and insert a new Co2 cartridge!
By the way, this vest was also designed to be used by our friends who ride steel horses.
Yup, you guessed it, they also sell a model for motorcycle riders!
