COMPOSITION
The AIR 2 Equithème airbag vest is particularly light and airy. It is perfectly free under the arms and easy to wear for free movement. Its outer fabric is made of polyester, which makes it resistant to bad weather. The inner lining of the airbag vest is made of 3D polyester mesh, ensuring excellent air circulation inside the vest and comfort. The three velcro straps closure is adjustable on the front.
COMPLIANCE
The AIR 2 Equithème 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 marking issued by the laboratory ALIENOR CERTIFICATION, in accordance with the European regulation 89/686/CEE. Airbag certified NF S72-800-2021. It can be worn in official competitions.
COMPATIBLE CLOTHING
The AIR 2 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. However, we do not recommend wearing several layers of clothing under your airbag vest.
ACCESSORIES
The vest is delivered with a CO2 gas cartridge, an arming key, its connection strap and its saddle strap. The gas cartridges must be used with care and stored at a temperature below 40°. It is imperative to buy only approved cartridges of the Helite brand, and to change them after each triggering!
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 cord, via its designated carabiner.
It is the connecting strap, directly connected to the gas cartridge with a ball, which will allow the release of the cartridge in case of a fall. The traction force necessary for the proper functioning of the airbag vest is 25kg for all sizes, or an internal pressure of the airbag of 350 mBar.
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 date of purchase, does not apply to textile.

Frequently asked questions
If your airbag is not the right size or does not fit, you have 15 days in which to return it to us. The cost of returning the airbag is borne by the customer, while the cost of exchanging airbags is borne by Vestride.
Only Spark, Hit-Air, Equiline's Oxair and children's models, Helite's Airjacket and Freejump's X'Air Safe airbags can be worn over clothing. Airbag jackets can be worn over thin clothing (teeshirts, sweaters) or combined with compatible clothing.
To find out which cartridge matches your airbag model and size, refer to the cross-reference table in the detailed description of each cartridge and airbag. This information is also given directly on your airbag or in the instructions for use.
We recommend storing it on a hanger away from moisture. Storing it on a hanger helps protect the membrane by limiting the risk of folding or cracking. Avoid storing it in a ball in your rack, or exposing it to high temperatures (radiators, cars in direct sunlight, etc.).
The saddle strap is fastened to either side of the saddle through the two stirrup leathers. This way, there's a perfect balance of release in the event of a fall, whether to the left or right of the horse. The buckle attaches to the connecting strap, which in turn connects to the airbag.
After deployment, your vest's membrane is inflated and the cartridge is emptied of its CO2. To reset, unscrew the old cartridge, expel all the air from the membrane, connect the trigger ball using the key supplied, then screw in a new cartridge. The exact re-priming procedure differs depending on the airbag model. It is important to follow the instructions given in the user manual supplied with the vest. If necessary, you can always contact us.
Your airbag must be adapted to your body type and size. We advise you to keep a fist's width between your chest and the airbag, to provide the space needed for optimum inflation. When you're riding, it shouldn't get in the way, rising up towards your ears, or even touching the saddle cantle.
The main difference lies in how they are worn: the vest-style airbag is worn like a jacket, close to the body, and requires compatible clothing on top. The classic airbag is worn over any clothing, serving as the outermost layer.
