When your child is riding a horse, their safety should be a top priority. The Hippodrome Spark Child Airbag Vest has been designed to provide maximum protection to young riders, without compromising on comfort or freedom of movement. Specifically created to meet children’s needs, it features next-generation airbag technology and complies with the strictest French standards for equestrian safety gear, much like the children's equestrian airbag vest models.
Total protection tailored for young riders
Because children deserve the very best, the Spark Hippodrome Airbag Vest ensures exceptional coverage in the event of a fall. The instant the child and horse part ways, the airbag inflates in under 0.2 seconds, forming a protective barrier around the upper body:
- Full spinal protection: From neck to coccyx, the air cushion absorbs shocks to protect the most vulnerable areas of a growing child.
- Neck and back support: The airbag’s structure is designed to minimize jerky movements and shield the neck, significantly reducing the risk of injury.
- Chest and abdomen protection: Wrapping around the rib cage, the vest absorbs impact energy, safeguarding the heart, lungs, and vital organs while also protecting the lower back and pelvis.
Responsive technology and nf s72-800-2022 certification
At the heart of this vest is a high-powered inflation system with a replaceable CO2 cartridge, ensuring ultra-fast activation. In less than 200 milliseconds, the airbag reaches optimal pressure to intervene before the child hits the ground. Safety is guaranteed by the NF S72-800-2022 certification, which attests to exceptional deployment performance, the breadth of protected zones, and shock absorption resistance, according to the strictest and most up-to-date French market standards.
An intuitive quick-attachment system connects the vest to the saddle via a secure strap. Should the child be thrown from the saddle, this connector immediately triggers the vest's activation. This mechanism reassures both young riders and parents, whether during beginner sessions, arena lessons, or when out riding or attending club training camps.
Comfort and freedom of movement for children
Here, safety goes hand in hand with child-focused comfort. With its ergonomic cut, the Spark Hippodrome vest follows the shape of the child without restricting movement:
- Ultra lightweight thanks to its streamlined structure and child-adapted weight, it becomes unnoticeable while worn.
- Durable 600D nylon fabric: offers excellent wear resistance, even with intensive club use.
- Breathable mesh and ventilation strips: promote air circulation, reducing sweating for comfortable year-round wear.
- Free arm movement: wide cutouts allow for all movements (bending, holding reins, posting trot, etc.) while keeping the vest well-fitted, without chafing or discomfort.
- Simple and effective adjustment: Three closure clips securely keep the vest in place and allow it to perfectly fit the child’s size, ensuring ideal positioning.
Lightweight design, carefully considered fit, large armholes, and optimized adjustability: everything has been thought out so that children can wear their airbag vest over any clothing, from t-shirts to raincoats.
