A new generation hybrid protection
The MotionAir Airbag Vest goes where traditional safety stops. Its innovative design is intended exclusively for use in tandem with the Motion3 Protective Shell* (sold separately), creating synergy between mechanical impact absorption and inflatable protection. This duo ensures hybrid, full-body protection, ideal during high-impact falls often experienced in cross-country or show jumping:
- Multizone Safety: The inflation system specifically targets the chest, abdomen, back, and neck, enveloping sensitive areas in the event of an incident.
- Reference Collaboration: Hélite’s airbag technology, coupled with the rigidity of the Motion3 shell, ensures optimal energy dispersal and drastically reduces the risk of spinal injury.
- In line with the latest standards: Its compliance with the NF S72-800 2022 standard — the most stringent to date for equestrian equipment — confirms lab- and field-tested efficiency.
Unmatched trigger performance
Speed, precision, and anticipation: the MotionAir Airbag Vest relies on an ultra-fast mechanical system that can detect the slightest tension and inflate in 0.097 seconds—the shortest time on the market. This means you’re protected even before you hit the ground, ensuring optimal absorption of kinetic energy during a fall or sudden imbalance.
This instant activation allows efficient protection, even in the most unpredictable situations riders can encounter on cross-country courses or approaching tricky obstacles.
Freedom of movement and ergonomic design
Designed to fit seamlessly into the routines of both top-level riders and discerning amateurs, the MotionAir guarantees comfort in all circumstances. It can be worn easily over any outfit—summer or winter—without restricting movement; a decisive advantage both in competition and training:
- Anatomical Fit: Its light, tailored cut, combined with wide armholes, allows complete mobility of arms and torso, essential for staying agile in the saddle.
- Easy to Put On: Thanks to a rapid closure system, the vest can be put on or taken off instantly, even with gloves or under the stress of being called into the arena.
- Exclusive Modularity: Its exclusive compatibility with the Motion3 shell ensures it never rides up on the torso and accompanies every move with precision.
Uncompromising safety, from cross-country to dressage
Versatile by design, the MotionAir vest meets the expectations of riders from every background: whether crossing water on a cross-country course, tackling a triple combination, or working flatwork sessions, it protects without ever getting in the way. Its hybrid structure (airbag + shell) is perfectly suited for the different risks involved in each discipline, offering unparalleled coverage of vital areas while maintaining top technical performance:
- Reinforced Protection Without Excess Weight: The technical, breathable fabric guarantees durability and sweat-wicking performance, ideal for long efforts in heat or rain.
- Everyday Practical Details: Velcro strips and a secure closure ensure the vest stays perfectly in place, regardless of weather or intensity of action.
Easy to use and maintain
Designed to accompany riders on all tracks and in every equestrian facility, the MotionAir comes ready to use, with a full kit including a CO2 cartridge, reset key, lanyard, and saddle strap. Its maintenance is designed for hassle-free, long-term use: simply wipe clean with a damp sponge—never submerge or use abrasive products to preserve its integrity.
