Protect yourself with one of the most advanced equestrian airbags on the market: the Zip'in 2 Airbag Vest - Helite, a true benchmark in equestrian airbag vests. Redefining horseback safety, this innovative vest combines discretion, technology, and efficiency, blending seamlessly with your outfit thanks to its design, which is meant to be worn under a compatible jacket. Whether you're show jumping, dressage, hacking out, or embarking on any equestrian adventure, the Zip'in 2 meets the highest standards of rider protection, without sacrificing comfort or freedom of movement.
Invisible protection, truly complete safety
The Zip'in 2 relies on Helite's exclusive technology to ensure immediate and comprehensive protection in the event of a fall. The core of Helite's expertise, its airbag deploys at lightning speed—in less than 0.1 seconds—instantly wrapping around the back, spine, neck, chest, and abdomen. Unlike classic protectors, the Zip'in 2 stands out for its ability to create a real protective cocoon inside your compatible jacket, which drastically reduces the risk of trauma to vital areas in the event of riding accidents.
- Back and spine: The wide inflatable membrane extends from the base of the skull to the sacrum, protecting the vertebrae along their entire length.
- Secured cervical vertebrae: An inflatable collar instantly stabilizes the head and neck upon impact to reduce cervical spine injuries.
- Chest & abdomen: The airbag laterally wraps the torso, absorbing shock energy on the rib cage and internal organs.
French standard nf s72-800-2021 & european certification
The Zip'in 2 airbag vest complies with the latest French standard NF S72-800-2021 as well as the European Directive 89/686/EEC, both requiring rigorous performance tests concerning deployment speed, coverage, and impact resistance. This compliance ensures a certified and reliable level of safety, recognized across all equestrian disciplines where regulations require an approved airbag.
The Zip'in 2 technology makes all the difference: optimal pressure is reached in less than 100 milliseconds, ensuring maximum effectiveness even before the rider hits the ground. Every detail—from reinforced seams to the technical outer fabric—has been designed to guarantee the vest’s protective function, whatever the circumstances of the fall.
Lightness, breathability & discretion: comfort in plural
What sets the Zip'in 2 apart is its capacity to be forgotten. Made from premium technical materials, it combines a durable yet lightweight outer fabric (polyamide/elastane), an inflatable polyurethane membrane, and a breathable lining for optimal ventilation. Thanks to its stretch mesh sides and absence of material under the arms, it offers total freedom of movement, whether for the precise movements of dressage or the intensity of cross-country.
Its design, specifically created to be worn discreetly under a Zip'in-compatible jacket, allows the rider to keep their style without weighing down or changing the cut of their outfit. It thus fully meets the expectations of competitions and major sporting events where elegance is also part of the game.
Efficient ventilation, combined with a controlled weight, ensures prolonged comfort even during intensive efforts or in hot weather. This ergonomic design ultimately means you can wear the Zip'in 2 for long hours, with no discomfort or restriction.
Customizable functionality & ease of use
The Zip'in 2 has been designed to adjust to your body shape and your riding style. Its fully zipped closure system allows for quick installation and a perfect fit, regardless of the assembly under a compatible jacket. Precise adjustments allow for a tailor-made fit to the rider’s size, available from XS to XXL.
The CO2 cartridge, more compact than in previous models, brings a noticeable reduction in weight with no compromise on safety. Maintenance is simple: a sponge wipe is enough, and all operations (re-arming, cartridge replacement) are straightforward, fast, and accessible to everyone.
The Zip'in 2 is exclusively designed to work within a modular system: it fits easily under any "Zip'in compatible" label jacket from the Helite collection or leading partner brands, leaving you free to choose the style, color, and fit you wish to wear.
The vest is delivered ready to use with all necessary accessories for operation and rearming, ensuring peace of mind at all times.
For which riders? versatility & universal protection
The Zip'in 2 Helite airbag vest is aimed at all riders, regardless of discipline or level. Its comfort and effectiveness appeal both to amateurs and advanced athletes. It’s especially relevant for competition riding (show jumping, eventing, dressage) as well as for pleasure, trekking, or groundwork. Its attachment system and minimal weight (from 650g depending on size) make it suitable for riders from 35 kg upwards, making it accessible to a wide audience.
Whatever the season, it protects efficiently under all your certified riding jackets, even in winter, with no restriction of movement.
