Twist'air airbag vest - Horse Pilot

Discover a new level of riding safety with the Twist’air airbag vest by Horse Pilot. Designed to meet the highest standards of equestrian protection, this vest combines technological innovation, comfort, and elegance for riders seeking both performance and peace of mind. The result of the expertise of Horse Pilot and In&motion, a French specialist in airbag solutions, the Twist’air embodies the excellence of an equestrian airbag vest made in France and certified according to the strict NF S72-800:2022 standard.

The new generation of equestrian safety

The Twist’air is much more than a simple equestrian vest: it represents a major evolution in personal safety on horseback. Thanks to its carefully designed structure and innovative features, it offers reliable and comprehensive protection against the inherent risks of horse riding. In the event of a fall or severe unbalance, its ultra-reliable mechanical triggering system releases a 42 g CO₂ canister, inflating the airbag in record time to cushion the impact and instantly protect the rider’s vital areas:

• Neck (Cervical vertebrae): A stabilizing cushion secures the neck, significantly limiting sudden or abnormal movements that cause cervical injuries.
• Spine and back: The back, from the base of the neck to the sacrum, is covered to prevent serious spinal injuries.
• Thorax: The rib cage and abdomen are protected by strategically placed air chambers, effectively absorbing the energy from frontal or lateral impacts.
• Neck: A padded section further protects the neck, helping to stabilize in the event of being thrown forward or during uncontrolled rotation.

Advanced technology and maximum responsiveness

Designed in close collaboration with In&motion, the Twist’air benefits from the latest advancements in passive safety. Its mechanical triggering system is notable for its precision and speed, ensuring optimal pressure in a fraction of a second—well before any contact with the ground. The slim canister, cleverly integrated, instantly delivers the gas needed to create a protective air barrier.

The vest meets all the criteria required by the French NF S72-800:2022 standard: activation speed, inflation volumes, coverage surface, absorption efficiency... All are verified by rigorous testing to provide the rider with superior protection quality in line with the highest European standards.

Unmatched comfort, designed for the rider

Safety should never mean discomfort. True to Horse Pilot’s philosophy, the Twist’air airbag vest focuses on an ergonomic design and leading-edge textile technologies to ensure comfort and freedom of movement. Its bi-stretch construction molds to every body shape and accompanies every movement, from intense training to competitions or leisure rides.

The mesh panels, positioned on the sides and back, provide constant ventilation and efficiently wick away body heat. Even during exertion, the vest remains light, well-ventilated, and almost unnoticeable.

The fit is close to the body, thanks to a slim cut and refined finishing touches. The flat canister, integrated into a dedicated internal pocket, minimizes any discomfort and enhances discretion. The result: a vest that is almost invisible under a compatible jacket, or stylish when worn over, keeping you smart in any situation.

Practicality and everyday ease of use

Every detail of the Twist’air has been designed to simplify the rider’s life, from initial fitting to daily use. The innovative magnetic connector allows you to attach or detach from the strap with a single motion, without ever losing control of your horse or letting go of the reins—a true asset both in training and in competition.

Delivered ready to use with its CO2 canister, protective cover, and a clear manual, the vest sets up quickly. Maintenance is extremely simple: a wipe with a damp sponge is all it takes to keep it spotless. Its durability guarantees intensive use season after season.
