Segura saddle strap – secure your equestrian airbag vest with ease
The Segura saddle strap is an essential safety accessory, specifically designed to optimize the performance of your Segura airbag vest during your riding sessions. Ingenious and durable, it fits most saddles equipped with stirrup bars to provide a reliable anchoring point, ensuring the airbag system reacts optimally in the event of a fall. You’ll also find additional solutions such as straps & cords to adapt your setup according to your specific needs.
What is the segura saddle strap for?
The Segura saddle strap plays a vital role in rider safety. It acts as a secure bridge between the saddle and the rider, ensuring a strong connection perfectly suited for triggering the airbag vest. Easy to install and discreet, this strap provides a reliable link so that the airbag system activates effectively and evenly in the event of an accident.
- Enhanced safety: The strap eliminates any risk associated with improper airbag vest connection by removing the possibility of tearing traditional saddle rings.
- Reliable activation: Anchoring into the stirrup bars ensures immediate and symmetrical deployment of your vest to protect the rider’s vital areas without delay.
- Perfect compatibility: Specifically designed to fit Segura airbag vests and most saddles with stirrup bars, whether riding outdoors, in the arena, jumping, or dressage.
Compatibility and installation of the segura saddle strap
The Segura saddle strap is compatible with all Segura airbag vests. Its design is based on the real needs of riders, making for a quick, secure, and failproof installation on almost every saddle equipped with stirrup bars.
Step-by-step installation:
- Remove the stirrup leathers from your saddle to access the stirrup bars.
- Thread the loops of the Segura saddle strap around the stirrup bars, without attaching it to the saddle rings.
- Replace your stirrup leathers by reinstalling them on the bars, ensuring the Segura saddle strap is firmly secured and stable.
- Clip the connection strap from your Segura airbag vest via the carabiner onto the saddle strap, just before mounting.
- Always remember to disconnect from the system before dismounting to avoid accidental deployment.
This installation process requires no special tools and can be accomplished in just a few minutes as you prepare for each ride, competition, or hack.
Why use the segura saddle strap?
The Segura saddle strap is an indispensable accessory for all riders equipped with a Segura airbag vest. It provides an effective, durable, and secure alternative to the traditional anchoring point on metal rings, which do not guarantee sufficient strength in the event of impact or ensure symmetrical deployment.
Using the Segura saddle strap exclusively to connect your airbag vest means:
- Preventing premature wear of the equipment, thanks to an anchor designed to withstand the force of airbag activation.
- Ensuring proper airbag activation, even in the event of an uneven fall, thanks to the strap’s central position.
- Always disconnecting the system before each dismount, reducing the risk of accidental airbag deployment outside a real emergency.
Segura saddle strap precautions & maintenance
- Anchor points: Never attach the airbag vest’s connection strap directly to a saddle ring. Use only the Segura saddle strap attached to the stirrup bars for suitable resistance and optimal safety.
- Material: Made from highly durable nylon, the Segura saddle strap offers excellent longevity, even with intensive use or varied weather conditions.
- Regular checks: Before each use, carefully inspect the strap: check the stitching, loops, and nylon surface for any signs of wear, tears, or oxidation to prevent malfunction during use.
- Cleaning: Wash with lukewarm water and mild soap only, avoiding abrasive products or washing machines, to preserve the strap’s durability and integrity.
- Replacement: If you see any snag, weakness, or defect in the strap or its loops, be sure to replace the accessory before your next ride to ensure the rider’s safety.
Summary: The Segura saddle strap is designed for all riders eager to combine comfort, reliability, and safety when using their airbag vest. By providing a secure and quick connection between the rider and saddle, it allows everyone to enjoy their equestrian activity with peace of mind, knowing the airbag system can fulfill its protective role to the fullest, no matter the discipline. To ensure proper maintenance and replacement of your safety accessories, don’t forget your horse airbag cartridge, compatible with your equipment.
Rider safety always starts with careful installation and the use of suitable equipment: with the Segura saddle strap, stack the odds in your favor for flawless protection on every ride.
