Optimize the performance and safety of your equestrian airbag vest with the Hit Air adult vest connector ball set, the essential spare part that ensures the vital link between your personal protection and the triggering system. Developed with Hit-Air expertise, this reliable and precisely engineered connector serves as the strategic interface guaranteeing flawless operation of your vest in real-life situations. With perfect compatibility with airbag straps from the Hit Air range, it is the ideal addition to your gear.
A Key Element for Instant Airbag Deployment
The safety of an airbag vest relies on the precision of its activation system. The Hit Air connector ball plays a crucial role as the connection point between the vest and the connection strap (or all-in-one strap). In the event of a fall, it detaches, releases the striker, and triggers the inflation in a split second, providing you with immediate protection. Discreet yet indispensable, this component is designed to guarantee maximum responsiveness without compromising reliability.
- Instant deployment: The ball disconnects when the strap tension exceeds the set threshold in the event of a fall, ensuring immediate activation of the airbag system.
- Secure connection: It maintains the link between rider and horse right up to the critical moment, minimizing the risk of accidental activation.
- Easy replacement and maintenance: As a wearable part designed to be replaced periodically, the connector ball can be fitted or removed in a single step, ensuring continued performance of your Hit Air vest.
Wide Compatibility with the Hit Air Adult Range
Created to meet the wide range of riders’ needs, the Hit Air connector ball comes in two distinct models, covering almost all adult airbag vests from the brand:
- Type Y ball: Exclusively compatible with the legendary Hit Air ORIGINAL model, the first vest ever developed by Hit-Air. Ideal for extending the lifespan of this iconic model without compromising safety.
- Type B ball: Suitable for all recent adult Hit Air vests: LEGER 1, LEGER 2, COMPLET 1, COMPLET 2, COMPLET 3, AIRFLEX, as well as the child KIDS model. It is the go-to replacement solution to maintain continued protection for the current bestseller models.
Identifying which connector ball to use is simple: consult your vest’s manual or contact our customer service in case of doubt to ensure perfect compatibility and avoid any risk of malfunction.
Simple Installation and Maximum Safety
Changing or checking your connector ball does not require complicated intervention. After resetting your Hit Air vest following a deployment, simply insert the ball into the control case and reconnect the connection or all-in-one strap. This ease of use allows you to independently uphold the highest safety standards demanded by modern equestrian practice.
The Hit Air connector ball is designed to withstand the mechanical stresses inherent to riding. Its precise holding system minimizes the risk of accidental detachment (during typical dismounts or ground handling) while ensuring automatic deployment in the event of a real fall.
An Essential Accessory for the Longevity of Your Airbag Vest
With continued use, the connector ball may undergo natural wear due to the repeated pulling and movements of the rider. Periodic replacement—according to the manufacturer’s maintenance recommendations—guarantees that your airbag vest’s triggering ability remains intact, just like resetting the striker or replacing the CO2 cartridge.
It is highly advisable to keep one or more spare connector balls in your kit, especially for competitions, intensive courses, or extended sessions where multiple deployments may occur.

By choosing this genuine component, you are assured of using an accessory that meets your vest’s manufacturing and quality control standards, avoiding any potentially hazardous malfunction or incompatibility.
- Strict manufacturing standards: Each ball undergoes strength and precision testing to ensure activation under the optimal safety conditions defined by the manufacturer.

Usage and Maintenance Tips
- Regular checks: Before each ride, visually inspect your connector ball for integrity and correct placement in the system. Any signs of wear, corrosion, or deformation should lead to immediate replacement.
- Installation: Always insert the ball into the control case after the striker has been reset. Follow the vest’s user manual to ensure maximum safety.
- Cleaning: If dirty, clean the ball with a dry or slightly damp cloth. Do not use corrosive products.
The Essential of Equestrian Safety
The Hit Air connector ball is more than just an accessory: it’s the bridge between your vigilance and the smart activation of your airbag in the event of a fall. Whether you’re into show jumping, hacking, or dressage, it ensures the reliability of your safety gear throughout the riding season. To guarantee proper system operation and reliable deployment, always use original airbag vest cartridges suited to your Hit Air model.
Don’t compromise on your protection: equip or restore your Hit Air vest with the original connector ball and continue riding with peace of mind and complete confidence.
