Give your child peace of mind while riding with the best protection technology, designed and engineered just for them. The Hit Air Airflex Kids Airbag Vest +18 kg sets new safety standards for the youngest riders. Specially designed for children weighing at least 18 kg, it allows young horse enthusiasts to enjoy total freedom of movement while benefiting from maximum security. Hit Air, the Japanese pioneer of airbag protection, brings its expertise to budding riders with the Airflex Kids — a concentration of technologies and innovations adapted to the morphology of the littlest ones.
The children's equestrian airbag provides a perfectly tailored response to the high safety demands for young riders from 18 kg, combining lightness, performance, and reliability.
Comprehensive safety designed for young riders
Where many safety devices only focus on torso protection, the Airflex Kids Vest +18 kg delivers complete and even coverage over all vulnerable areas of the child’s trunk and back:
- Spine & Lower Back: A wide air cushion secures the entire back from the top of the neck down to the lower vertebrae, effectively reducing the risk of fractures and trauma.
- Neck and Cervical Spine: A hallmark of the Hit Air brand, its famous cervical collar inflates instantly to efficiently prevent whiplash injury in case of a fall.
- Chest & Abdomen: The vest envelops the rib cage and stomach, absorbing the energy from front or side impacts, thereby protecting vital organs such as the heart, lungs, and stomach.
The high-performance airbag system in the Airflex Kids also features integrated high-density foam reinforcements at the front and back: double security with shock absorption that far exceeds regulatory standards.
Unique, cutting-edge technology for children
The Airflex Kids +18 kg is unique: it introduces a trigger specifically optimized to react efficiently starting at a body weight of just 18 kg. Thus, even the smallest riders benefit from ultra-fast airbag protection as soon as they are big enough to mount a horse. Its intelligent deployment system allows the vest to fully inflate in just 0.25 seconds. This record time ensures that protection is activated even before the child’s body hits the ground in case of a fall.
The Airflex Kids also innovates through the use of micro-perforated stretch fabric that hugs children’s physiques while ensuring optimal ventilation: no more heavy or overheating sensations during exertion! All this, in an ergonomic design that combines safety and comfort—even for the most active little ones at the pony club.
Certification & standards: safety assurance for families
Child safety requirements are among the strictest: the Airflex Kids airbag vest is CE certified and meets the highly demanding NF S72-800 2022 standard. This certification confirms its capacity to absorb shocks, efficiently protect vital areas, and deploy within the set time limit. The vest has passed tests that exceed minimal standards by 8 to 10 times: this guarantees a high level of protection tailored to the most vulnerable group, giving parents peace of mind.
Every detail has been carefully considered to meet children’s specific needs—from the meticulously chosen materials, to the precision of the triggering mechanism, down to the design of the casing.
Lightweight freedom: a vest that feels weightless in the saddle
A true safety vest only serves its purpose if it’s worn every time, in every circumstance. The Airflex Kids +18 kg ensures exceptional lightness through ultra-modern materials and a streamlined design with no unnecessary bulk: the vest weighs just over one kilo and stays discreet on the silhouette.
Its optimal fit is made possible by ergonomic internal straps, adapting to a child’s body as they grow. Designed to be worn over any clothing, it’s suitable for winter lessons or summer trails, over a sweater or under a rain jacket.
A key detail for parents: the Airflex Kids vest is easy to maintain. Simply wipe it clean with a damp sponge, as the fabric is designed to resist dirt — ideal for regular use by active young athletes.
Finally, the vest comes ready to use, with everything you need for immediate use (50cc CO2 cartridge, mini all-in-one strap adapted to children, rearming kit, carry bag, and instructions). Everything is planned to reassure parents and children: assembly and fitting are easy, quick, and secure, with no unnecessary parts.
