Hit air cartridge – official co₂ refill for hit air equestrian airbag vest
After every deployment of your Hit Air airbag vest, it is essential to replace the CO₂ cartridge to ensure optimal safety on your next ride.
Hit Air cartridges are specifically manufactured for Hit Air brand airbag vests. They ensure immediate, effective, and reliable deployment of the airbag in the event of a fall, releasing the exact amount of gas required for maximum inflation. Thanks to Hit Air’s technological expertise, every cartridge offers unmatched safety, meeting the strict requirements of equestrian sports.
Hit air cartridge compatibility
To be used exclusively with Hit Air airbag vests. Using a generic or different brand cartridge may compromise deployment, increase risk in case of a fall, or void your Hit Air airbag system’s warranty.
To guarantee your safety and the longevity of your gear, strictly maintain compatibility between vest and cartridge: every Hit Air cartridge is designed to fit perfectly with Hit Air’s activation systems, with no room for error.
Which cartridge size should you choose?
Selecting the correct size is essential for your airbag to work properly. Each model and size of Hit Air vest requires a cartridge with a specific CO₂ volume: 48cc, 50g, or 60cc depending on your equipment model and your needs. An incorrect volume would result in partial inflation or a delayed deployment, thus compromising your protection in case of a fall.
To find the right cartridge for your Hit Air airbag vest:
- Check your Hit Air vest instruction manual (available in the box or on the Hit Air website).
- Check the label inside the pouch containing the trigger mechanism of your airbag.
- If in doubt, contact our customer service team for personalized assistance.
Always ensure you never use a cartridge with a higher or lower capacity than the one recommended for your vest.
Replacing and maintaining your hit air cartridge
To preserve the protective qualities of your airbag vest:
- Replace the cartridge after every airbag deployment, even if the vest appears undamaged.
- Before reinstalling, check the cartridge’s weight using a precision scale to ensure it hasn’t lost any CO₂ (the nominal weight is engraved on the cartridge).
- Make sure the cartridge shows no dents, rust, or leaks.
- Install the cartridge by carefully following the installation procedure described in your Hit Air vest manual to ensure proper activation.
Using a damaged cartridge or one that weighs less than its nominal weight may prevent the airbag from deploying as intended.
