Multi-directional protection: an intelligent shield for riders

The Equithème Air 2 offers extensive, innovative protection that meets the market's strictest standards. Its special design ensures optimal safety for vital areas of the rider’s body in the event of a fall, going beyond conventional protection:

• Full spinal protection: The air cushion molds to the back, from neck to sacrum, reducing the risk of injury in severe impacts and optimally absorbing shocks.
• Neck security on three axes: The triggering system effectively protects the neck in all directions to minimize cervical injury risks, even in off-balance falls.
• Chest, abdomen and hips safeguarded: The airbag wraps around these areas to cushion frontal and lateral impacts, protecting vital organs and reducing the risk of internal injuries.
• Specific sacrum protection: With a cushion positioned at the lower back, the sacrum area is protected—crucial in backward or side falls.

Technology, reactivity & certified safety

This vest pushes the boundaries of responsiveness with a trigger time of just 0.1 seconds, providing almost instant activation before the rider even hits the ground. This speed is the result of advanced design of the activation mechanism, offering uncompromised safety.

Its compliance with the French standard NF S72-800-2021—now mandatory for most competitions and known for its excellence—ensures every Air 2 has passed rigorous tests on deployment speed, shock absorption capacity, and optimal coverage of vital zones. You therefore benefit from one of the highest levels of reliability in the equestrian sector.

Lightweight, breathability & freedom: comfort reinvented

An airbag vest should not restrict the rider’s freedom of movement. That’s why the Air 2 was designed around a simple idea: to become unnoticeable in use while still guaranteeing its protective function. Its ergonomic shape adapts to every body type, while its open armholes provide full range of motion—ideal for every discipline, from jumping to outdoor riding.

The polyester outer shell ensures resistance and waterproofing against bad weather without adding weight. Inside, a 3D mesh polyester lining allows optimal airflow. This innovative ventilation reduces the sensation of heat considerably, even during intense training sessions or in hot weather. The result: comfortable wear, regardless of climate or session length.

The AIR 2 is also a model of lightness with a weight suitable for all riders from 25 kg and up, making it an excellent option for both adults and young enthusiasts.

Personalized fit & ease of use

Because a good fit is essential for safety and comfort, the Air 2 vest is equipped with three adjustable velcro straps at the front for a perfect fit for every rider. The intuitive adjustments ensure an optimal vest position, providing even protection distribution without compression.

Designed to be worn over all your clothing, including winter jackets or light shirts, the vest adapts to every situation and all seasons. It installs quickly and requires no complex handling, making it an ideal companion at the stables or in competition.

For all riders, from beginners to competitors

The Equithème Air 2 is for everyone: young riders starting out who want maximum protection, experienced adults, and competitors wishing to comply with the latest certifications. Its unisex design and broad size range (from XXS to XL) make it suitable for any body type. Whether you ride for leisure, eventing, show jumping, or trail riding, you benefit from a reassuring, even level of protection.

Its intuitive deployment, certification, and easy maintenance complete the perfect picture for those who prioritize safety without ever sacrificing comfort or freedom of movement.
