LIGHT airbag vest 2 - Hit Air

COMPOSITION

The H2 airbag vest is the latest development in the Léger range. All sizes, from XS to L, require a minimum tensile force of 25kg to operate properly. Ideal for all equestrian disciplines, the Hit-Air H2 airbag vest offers comprehensive protection for the spine, from the cervical spine to the sacrum and coccyx. It also protects the thorax and abdomen.

The new H2 airbag vest features shock-absorbing front and rear cushions reinforced with high-density foam for enhanced impact protection. The housing has been optimized to improve gas diffusion speed through the membrane. The optimum pressure level is thus reached in 1⁄4 of a second; it allows impact energy absorption 9 to 10 times greater than normative requirements.

It is sold ready-to-use with an all-in-one cartridge and strap. 

• 500D Nylon
• Polyester mesh

The little ++ : The LIGHT airbag vest offers greater protection for the cervical spine, thanks to its highly protective cervical collar. It is possible to add side protectors to maximize the protection of the ribs, as well as a removable back protection to protect the back in case of shocks.

COMPLIANCE

The LIGHT Hit-Air airbag vest complies with the regulations relating to personal protective equipment (PPE) subject to the French Sports Code. As such, this airbag vest has a CE mark issued by the ALIENOR CERTIFICATION laboratory, in accordance with European regulation 89/686/EEC. Airbag certified NF S72-800-2021.

COMPATIBLE CLOTHING

This airbag vest can only be worn over clothing: a summer t-shirt, a sweatshirt, a winter down jacket... It can be adjusted according to the season and the thickness of your layers. We do not recommend wearing several layers of clothing under your airbag vest. You can adjust it with our Hit-air extension loop set, gaining up to 15 cm of comfort !

CUSTOMIZATION

Currently, we offer this vest in black and navy blue. It is also available in royal blue, white and red only on order with a delay of one month. Please contact us directly for these colors!

ACCESSORIES

The vest is delivered with a CO2 gas cartridge, a cocking key, its connecting strap and its saddle cord. The gas cartridges must be used with care and stored at a temperature below 40°. It is imperative to buy only Hit-Air approved cartridges and to change them after each firing!

INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE

The CO2 cartridge must be screwed firmly and completely into the case. Once in place, do not attempt to unscrew or remove it.

The two ends of the saddle cord must be attached to the knives of your saddle, before your stirrup leathers. Next, the connecting strap should be attached to the saddle strap via its carabiner. Finally, the ball connector assembly must be attached to the connection strap. It is the ball that unhooks in the event of a fall that will trigger the inflation of the vest by opening the cartridge.

STORAGE AND MAINTENANCE

Do not machine wash or tumble dry. Brush the vest with a slightly dampened stiff bristle brush, then air dry on a hanger.

WARRANTY

2 year warranty from the date of purchase. The warranty covers the internal membrane and the case, under normal use, but not the textile.
