Riding compatible airbag bombers & jackets

Whether it’s a jacket, an insulated gilet or a lightweight shell, each piece answers a specific need depending on discipline, season and time of day. At Vestride we offer a complete range of airbag-compatible riding jackets designed to suit all shapes and riding styles. Every jacket uses technical fabrics engineered to keep you dry, provide thermal insulation and remain comfortable in the saddle.

How to choose an airbag-compatible riding jacket?

Key criteria

• Functionality: zipped pockets, a two-way zip, a hood, underarm vents… practical details that make everyday use easier.
• Comfort: a well-cut riding jacket must allow you to ride without restriction, whatever the season.
• Style: classic or contemporary, plain or colourful, your jacket reflects your personality in the yard and in the show ring.
• Weather: choose a waterproof jacket for rain, a fleece or winter coat for cold, or a softshell for the shoulder seasons.

Also check that the jacket works with your horse riding airbag — it should allow the tether or lanyard to attach neatly and accommodate the CO2 cartridge (canister) where required.

Which are the best airbag-compatible riding jackets?

Models for every practice

Vestride offers a wide range of styles, from the elegant competition jacket to a thoroughly warm winter coat. Our lines are designed for sport and thought through for both rider and rider — lightweight jackets and sleeveless down gilets are ideal for mid-season, while bomber-style jackets shield effectively from wind and cold. Several models feature water-repellent or waterproof finishes and insulating linings for maximum comfort.

Practical and stylish

Available in a variety of colours to suit your kit and personal taste, in long- or short-sleeve cuts, for occasional or frequent riding. Stylish yet functional, a riding jacket should be easy to wear, comfortable every day and perfectly suited to life at the yard. Pair it with a body protector and Safety stirrups for full, considered protection.

Which jackets for winter riding?

Warmth and technical performance

Winter jackets must meet several demands: they need to protect against the cold, remain breathable so you don’t overheat during effort, and allow sufficient freedom of movement for riding or working on the ground. Long or mid-length models, often with hoods, are perfect for the yard or for hacking. Materials such as technical polyester are lightweight, insulating and durable. Fabrics must be flexible and certified if you wear your coat over a horse riding airbag; they should also allow for the tether/lanyard and the CO2 cartridge (canister) to be used safely.

What materials for a riding jacket?

Technical performance and durability

Vestride jackets are made from materials developed for equestrian use: softshell, breathable polyester, water-repellent fabrics, warm fleece and windproof linings. Each jacket is designed to be functional and hard-wearing for everyday life, whether you’re in the saddle or working around the yard.

How to care for a riding jacket?

Regular care preserves your jacket’s technical properties and appearance. Always follow the fabric’s washing instructions and avoid high temperatures. Air dry your jacket. Some water-repellent finishes can be restored with a specific reproofing spray. A well-maintained jacket lasts longer and stays effective all year round.
