Opt for enhanced safety during your equestrian activities with the Hit-Air removable back protector, the essential complement to your riding airbag vest. Designed with all the technical requirements and expertise of the Japanese brand Hit-Air, this back protector significantly increases the protection of your spine by targeting the most vulnerable areas of the back, while preserving your freedom of movement. Its lightness, ease of installation, and broad compatibility make it an essential accessory for any rider who prioritizes safety, from leisure to competition. For optimal protection, be sure to choose an equestrian airbag cartridge compatible with your system.
Additional protection for the spine
The Hit-Air removable back protector has been specifically designed to complement your airbag vest and offer a higher level of safety during every ride. It fits the back perfectly thanks to its ergonomic shape and multi-layered design, efficiently absorbing and distributing the energy from an impact, while maintaining enough flexibility not to restrict your movements.
- Targeted Reinforcement: This back protector provides comprehensive protection for the spine, from the base of the neck to the lower back—a particularly exposed area in the event of a fall from a horse or sudden movement.
- Absorption Performance: Thanks to its high-density foam, the back protector acts as a shield against direct impacts, helping to limit the risk of back injuries without making your equipment rigid.
- Structural Support: It provides additional stabilization, reducing hyper-flexion in the event of an accident to preserve the integrity of the spine.
Easy installation and hassle-free maintenance
The main strength of the Hit-Air back protector lies in its intuitive installation. It attaches in seconds to the back of your airbag vest, using an ingenious system of strong velcro fasteners that ensure a perfect hold—even during intense movement or airbag deployment. Easy to put on or remove as needed, it allows you to adapt your level of protection for each session, whether you’re flat riding, out on a hack, or at a competition.
Maintenance is just as simple: the back protector’s structure resists deformation and can be easily cleaned with a damp sponge, without any special care required. Its durable design meets the demands of regular riders as well as occasional users.
Optimal compatibility with the hit-air range
Lightweight and discreet, the Hit-Air removable back protector is specially designed to fit all Hit-Air brand airbag vests. Whether it's the Child, Light, or Full model, it is available in several sizes to perfectly match every rider’s body type and ensure seamless integration. To make the right choice, refer to the specific size guide that links each vest type to the appropriate back protector size: a perfect fit for guaranteed safety.

Its flexibility allows it for every discipline—from dressage to jumping, and outdoor riding—without ever causing a feeling of stiffness or bulk.
