Airsafe airbag vest kids - Equithème

Give your child the best in equestrian safety with the Equithème Airsafe Kid Airbag Vest. Specially developed to meet the needs of young riders, this vest combines advanced protection, optimal comfort, and freedom of movement, ensuring every training session or competition takes place in the best conditions.

Protection tailored for young riders

With the Airsafe Kid Airbag Vest, Equithème puts safety at the heart of its priorities from the earliest age. Its design is dedicated to children's morphology to effectively protect the most sensitive areas in the event of a fall from a horse:

• Full back protection: The airbag deploys instantly along the entire spine, all the way down to the lower back.
• Cervical stabilization: The inflatable cushion surrounds the neck to maintain proper head alignment and limit the risk of sudden twisting.
• Chest and abdomen security: In the event of a fall, the system wraps around the ribcage at the sides and front, effectively cushioning shocks and helping to protect vital organs.
• Specific lumbar protection: Thanks to its flexible back plate, the vest offers additional support with minimal discomfort, absorbing impact and reducing potential trauma.

Ultra-fast trigger technology, compliance, and high standards

Equithème’s technological innovation is reflected in its almost instantaneous deployment: activated the moment the child separates from the saddle thanks to its secure mechanical system, the airbag inflates in less than 0.1 second, drastically reducing the risk exposure time to injury.

The Airsafe Kid Vest strictly meets the French standard NF S72-800-2022, the strictest to date for equestrian safety equipment. This standard requires high demands in terms of trigger speed, protected area coverage, and shock absorption capacity, ensuring you peace of mind with every horse riding activity. It also boasts European certification 89/686/EEC, guaranteeing compliance with international expectations.

Absolute comfort and freedom of movement for children

Since the best safety is the one children agree to wear every time they ride, Equithème designed the Airsafe vest to be nearly unnoticeable. The exterior stretch fabric contains elastane, allowing the vest to adapt to all juvenile body types while preserving the rider’s natural movement.

Strategically placed mesh panels on the sides and back ensure superior ventilation. Even during intense training or hot summer days, perspiration is wicked away, contributing to the well-being of young riders throughout the day.

The vest’s lightweight design, optimized for minimal weight, avoids any heaviness on the shoulders or back. The large armholes allow optimal fit without restricting arm movement, no matter the riding discipline or clothing underneath.

An easy-to-use airbag vest for everyday

The Equithème Airsafe Kid Airbag Vest stands out for its ease of use, making safety accessible to all:

• Quick to put on: Its ergonomic fit and intuitive closures make dressing easy, even for younger children.
• Precise adjustment: The internal adjustment systems ensure a perfect fit, keeping the vest in place with every movement.
• Clothing versatility: Worn both over a jacket and under compatible certified clothing, it adapts to all seasons and styles.

In addition to providing comprehensive protection, the vest is designed to withstand repeated sporting use thanks to a robust outer fabric that is weather-resistant, protecting the inner mechanism and technical fabrics for long-lasting durability.

Who is the airsafe kid airbag vest for?

The Equithème Airsafe is recommended for all children over 25 kg, regardless of their riding experience. It accompanies the child from their first pony rides to youth competitions, including lessons, hacks, and riding camps. It is the ideal solution for parents looking to provide recognized, reassuring equipment that remains comfortable and willingly accepted by young riders, even in the heat of the moment.

The quality of the materials used, all of Italian origin and strictly selected, contributes to great softness against the skin and proven durability.
