Combining Equiline’s premium expertise with the excellence of the most advanced equestrian airbag vest technology, the Belair offers riders a unique blend of optimal safety and absolute comfort, so that every moment in the saddle is synonymous with peace of mind and pleasure.
High-performance protection inspired by french innovation
A true fusion of textile tradition and technological innovation, the Belair airbag vest stands out for its 100% French manufacturing 🇫🇷, a guarantee of quality and reliability. Its ultra-responsive airbag system was designed to meet the needs of modern riders at the highest level of safety:
- Lightning-fast activation in 0.080 seconds: Thanks to its advanced mechanism, the airbag inflates in record time, well before impact, wrapping you in a genuine protective shield during a fall.
- Integrated D3O® back protector: This patented high-tech material instantly hardens upon impact to absorb energy and effectively protect the spine, while remaining flexible and lightweight for everyday use.
- Extended coverage of vital areas: The Belair protects the spine, rib cage, abdomen, and lower back by forming a cocoon around the torso and back, significantly reducing the risk of serious injuries.
- Certified to NF S72-800-2022 standard: Each vest undergoes the strictest tests according to French regulations, ensuring reliability and deployment effectiveness that meet the highest expectations.
Ultra-advanced deployment technology for predictable safety
The Belair airbag vest relies on a proven and reliable mechanical system, capable of activating the airbag instantly as soon as the rider loses contact with the saddle. This unrivaled anticipation ensures that protection is effective at exactly the right moment, with no delay.
The rapid inflation covers the torso, back, and lower back and effectively maintains spinal alignment, while absorbing both vertical and lateral impacts. The D3O® technology in the back protector complements this system by immediately hardening upon impact, dissipating energy and considerably reducing the shock transmitted to the rider.
Ergonomic comfort and total freedom of movement
Knowing that safety should never compromise the pleasure of riding, Equiline developed the Belair with meticulous attention to ergonomics and comfort:
- Breathable technical fabrics: The 3D polyester mesh lining ensures optimal ventilation and moisture management, even during strenuous effort or in summer weather.
- High-resistance polyamide outer material: The exterior fabric protects the vest against abrasion and friction, while remaining supple and lightweight on the body.
- Anatomical cut & precise adjustments: The Belair adapts to the rider’s body shape without restricting freedom of movement, allowing for the necessary leg position for show jumping as well as full comfort during jumping or hacking out.
- Clothing compatibility: The Belair can be worn over a jacket or as a mid-layer, under a compatible coat. Its sturdy central zip guarantees a reliable, quick, and intuitive closure.
For all riders, from beginners to competitors
The technology of the Belair airbag vest is designed for all types of riders. Whether it’s first lessons at the riding club, experienced arena sessions, or top-level competitions, every rider can benefit from tailor-made protection:
