Kids Air 2 airbag vest - Equithème

Give young riders protection designed to help them ride with confidence with the Equithème Air 2 children's airbag vest. Available in children's sizes S and L, this model combines extensive coverage of essential areas, rapid deployment and an adjustment system suited to young riders. Designed to be worn over clothing, it is ideal for riding school sessions, training and competitions while preserving the freedom of movement riders need in the saddle.

Minimum rider weight: the Equithème Air 2 children's airbag vest is designed for riders weighing more than 25 kg. The young rider's measurements should also be taken into account when selecting the size to ensure a suitable fit.

Multi-directional protection designed for young riders

The Equithème Air 2 children's airbag vest is designed to provide extensive upper-body protection when deployed. Its inflatable cushion surrounds several areas particularly exposed during a fall, helping to absorb impacts and protect the young rider. This comprehensive coverage makes it particularly suitable for supporting children as they progress, from their first courses and regular lessons to outdoor rides and more intensive training. While remaining easy to wear, the Air 2 provides coverage around the back, neck, chest, abdomen, hips and sacrum. Young riders can therefore retain excellent freedom of movement while benefiting from safety equipment specifically designed for equestrian use.

• Spinal protection: the air cushion deploys along the back, from the neck down to the sacrum, helping to absorb the energy generated by an impact.
• Three-axis neck support: once inflated, the airbag helps limit excessive movement around the cervical area during a fall.
• Chest, abdomen and hip protection: the inflatable sections surround these areas to provide extensive frontal and lateral coverage.
• Sacrum protection: deployment around the lower back provides additional protection to an area that can be particularly exposed during certain falls.

Rapid deployment and certified safety

The Air 2 features an announced deployment time of just 0.1 seconds, allowing the system to inflate extremely quickly when the connection to the saddle is placed under sufficient tension during a fall. This responsiveness allows the inflatable cushion to deploy around the young rider before impact.

The vest complies with the NF S72-800:2022 standard for equestrian airbags. This certification covers key aspects of the system's deployment and protective performance, providing both parents and young riders with equipment designed to meet specific safety requirements.

A comfortable vest designed to support progression

Protective equipment needs to remain comfortable if children are to wear it naturally and consistently. The Air 2 therefore features a cut designed to preserve mobility in the saddle. Its generously shaped armholes allow the arms and shoulders to move freely, whether the young rider is schooling on the flat, jumping or heading out on a hack.

Its polyester outer fabric combines resistance with everyday practicality. Inside, the 3D polyester mesh lining promotes airflow to help reduce heat build-up during exercise. This design is particularly valuable for children during longer sessions or when riding in warmer weather.

Two children's sizes and easy adjustment

This children's version of the Equithème Air 2 is available in children's size S and children's size L. The three adjustable front Velcro straps make it easy to adapt the vest to the young rider's body shape and clothing. Correct adjustment is essential to keep the protective system properly positioned while providing enough room to ride comfortably.

The Air 2 is designed to be worn over clothing. It can therefore be used over lightweight riding clothes as well as thicker winter layers, provided the recommended fit is maintained. This design makes the vest particularly practical for everyday use and quick to put on or remove.

Simple connection once mounted

The system works via a strap connecting the airbag to the anchoring point installed on the saddle. Once mounted on the horse or pony, the young rider connects the attachment strap to the airbag. In the event of a fall, once the required tension is reached, the mechanism releases the gas from the cartridge to rapidly inflate the protective system.

At the end of the riding session, the connection can be detached before dismounting. This simple routine helps young riders gradually make the use of their airbag part of their riding habits.
