Comprehensive protection especially designed for children
The Complet 3 Child Airbag Vest +18 kg doesn’t just protect the torso: it offers extended coverage and reinforced support for all crucial areas. Thanks to its prominent cervical collar, wide dorsal cushion, and 360° encompassing protection, this model secures:
- The entire spine: From the top of the neck to the coccyx, your child's back is enveloped by an ultra-fast deploying air cushion that absorbs energy in the event of a fall.
- The neck and head: Its signature cervical collar inflates around the neck to stabilize the head and reduce the risk of whiplash, which is common when losing balance on a pony or horse.
- The chest and abdomen: The vest wraps the rib cage and stomach in a protective cocoon, thus shielding internal organs from all types of impacts and compressions.
Responsive technology and certified safety for the youngest riders
Resulting from Hit Air’s ongoing innovation—global pioneer of equestrian airbags—the Complet 3 Child +18 kg relies on a trigger system tailored for smaller frames. From 18 kg, the airbag activates instantly, reaching optimal pressure in less than a quarter of a second (0.25 s)—well under the time of a fall, giving the cushion time to envelop the child before any contact with the ground.
The system uses a compact CO2 cartridge (50cc) perfectly sized for children’s safety and efficiency without adding extra weight. This device meets and exceeds the latest requirements of the French standard NF S72-800 2022, which enforces rigorous testing to ensure shock absorption up to 10 times the required threshold. An absolute guarantee of confidence for parents and supervisors alike.
A tailored fit that grows with your child
Because safety also depends on the proper fit of the equipment, the Complet 3 Child was designed to follow your child’s growth. It features an inner Velcro strap for precise fit adjustment at the waist, ensuring the vest stays in place and deploys in optimal conditions, regardless of the rider’s movements or build.
The vest comes in XXS size, suitable for children from 1.25 m to 1.40 m tall, covering the vast majority of young riders. It is worn over all clothing, as the outermost layer, whether it’s just a t-shirt in summer or a sweatshirt or padded jacket in winter, thanks to the option of adding extension buckles (available separately).
Unmatched versatility for all disciplines and levels
This child airbag vest is the ideal choice for all types of riding. Whether your young riders are discovering the arena, preparing for a show jumping competition, or heading out for a trail ride, they benefit from comprehensive protection for the most exposed areas. Its lightweight design (around 1 kg) and ergonomic cut do not hinder the rider’s freedom of movement or concentration, encouraging confidence and enjoyment in every riding session.
Equipment options and easy maintenance
The Complet 3 Child +18 kg is delivered ready to use with all essential accessories: Hit Air 50cc cartridge, all-in-one mini strap, instructions, reset kit, and carrying case. For even more protection, the vest can easily accommodate an optional removable back protector, thus providing a double shield for the spine. Care is simple: a wipe with a damp sponge is enough to clean the fabric without risking damage to the mechanism.
The vest must always be worn over clothing. Ensure exclusive use of official Hit-Air cartridges to guarantee the equipment’s performance and safety.
