Hélite cartridge – co₂ refill for hélite, équithème and privilège équitation equestrian airbag vests
Replace your used cartridge easily after each deployment of your Hélite or compatible airbag vest. Enjoy optimal safety with original certified refills, specifically designed to ensure proper operation and fast inflation of your airbag protection airbag cartridges.
Hélite cartridges are manufactured with strict standards, following the most rigorous requirements to support all riders, whether amateur or experienced. Their design ensures instant CO₂ release in the event of a fall, providing effective deployment of your airbag vest and maximum rider protection in critical situations.
Compatibility of hélite co₂ cartridges
Hélite refills are compatible with several of the most popular airbag vest models on the market:
- Hélite airbag vests (Airjacket, Zip’in 2),
- Équithème airbag vests (AIR, Pro Series Zipair),
- Privilège Équitation airbag vests.
The use of an original Hélite cartridge, perfectly suited to the brand and model of your vest, is essential. Installing a non-compliant or generic model may affect system performance, compromise safety, and void your equipment’s warranty.
Be sure to regularly check the compatibility of your cartridge with your airbag vest model and size. If in doubt, refer to the manual provided by the vest manufacturer or check the information inside the vest shell or the pocket of your firing mechanism.
Which cartridge size to choose?
Each airbag vest model and size comes with a specific CO₂ size, expressed in cc (cubic centimeters). Respecting this volume ensures even, optimal and compliant inflation, guaranteeing your vest's performance in case of impact. Using an under- or oversized cartridge can lead to ineffective protection upon deployment.
