Ensure your child has a safe and worry-free riding experience with the MotionAir child airbag vest from HĂ©lite. Designed for young riders, this protective vest combines innovation, lightness, and adaptability. It has been specifically developed to integrate with the Motion3* shell, delivering optimal hybrid protection and marking a major step forward in equestrian safety for children.
Comprehensive safety, especially designed for young riders
Because learning to ride should never come at the expense of safety, the child's equestrian airbag vest MotionAir has been engineered to cover all the key areas of a child’s torso. This airbag vest provides an effective shield in the event of a fall, while considering the unique morphology of children:
- Back and spinal protection: The back area benefits from an air cushion running its full length, designed to absorb impacts while maintaining the flexibility needed for a child’s natural movements.
- Chest and abdominal security: The airbag inflates enveloping the thorax, absorbing the impact’s energy to reduce the risk of injury to vital organs, without restricting breathing — essential for young children's comfort.
- Integration with the Motion3* protective shell: This method of attachment ensures a double protective barrier, strengthening safety while maintaining excellent ergonomics. The airbag is used exclusively with the shell, guaranteeing maximum effectiveness.
Ultra-fast response, compliant with the new nf s72-800-2022 standard
The MotionAir child airbag vest features the latest generation of sensors and pyrotechnic systems, ensuring activation in just 0.097 seconds. This exceptional reaction time makes all the difference in the event of an accident, with the airbag deploying before the young rider even hits the ground.
This system has been meticulously developed by HĂ©lite in partnership with Racesafe, two global leaders in top-level equestrian protection. Their collaboration guarantees deployment performance perfectly adapted to situations faced by children on horseback, whether at riding clubs or in youth competitions.
The certification by the French NF S72-800-2022 standard attests to the high safety and quality requirements of this equipment. Each vest undergoes rigorous tests for coverage, deployment speed, and mechanical resistance, giving every parent the assurance of choosing a safe product for their child.
Lightweight and freedom of movement: everyday comfort
Hélite’s design team selected the finest textile materials to give the MotionAir child vest an optimal protection-to-weight ratio. This airbag vest remains discreet, ultra-light, and comfortable to wear, even during long sessions on a pony or horse. The armholes are wide and the ergonomic cut perfectly fits a child’s body, minimizing any discomfort or pressure points.
Freedom of movement is thus total: the young rider can train in the arena, jump obstacles, or go out for rides with unchanged comfort. The vest is always worn over clothing — from summer t-shirts to winter coats — guaranteeing convenience and easy use throughout the year.
Precise adjustments allow the vest to be adapted to the child’s growth, ensuring effective use for several seasons. Its simple and quick fastening makes it easy for young riders to handle, under adult supervision, and encourages wearing it at every riding session.
