Designed and assembled 100% in France, the Éclair vest embodies excellence, from its technical expertise to its reliability in the field. This model is part of the new generation of equestrian airbag vests and stands out as a must-have choice for anyone seeking the very best in horseback protection.
Next-generation safety: protect all your vital areas in a flash
The Éclair airbag vest doesn’t just meet current safety standards—it exceeds them. Thanks to a record-setting mechanical deployment in under 80 milliseconds, it instantly shields all the rider’s vital zones during a fall:
- Full spinal protection: The air cushion deploys in a split second to cover the entire length of the back down to the sacrum.
- Neck and cervical support: A specific support minimizes the risk of neck injuries, especially whiplash effects.
- Chest and abdomen: The airbag creates a wrap-around shield around the torso, effectively cushioning all lateral and frontal impacts to protect vital organs.
- Sides and ribs: The vest’s wide cushion design ensures optimal shock absorption along the body's sides, which are especially vulnerable in falls or crush accidents.
French technology, italian elegance: when innovation meets style
Designed and made in France in partnership with Allshot, the Éclair vest stands out for its premium materials and technical precision. Its technological core features an ultra-reliable mechanical deployment system: the moment the connection with the saddle is released, the vest deploys instantly, providing the best impact anticipation currently available on the market.
Certified to the stringent NF S72-800:2022 standard and European Regulation EU 2016/425, each Éclair vest undergoes rigorous testing to guarantee not only rapid deployment but also consistency and effectiveness of protection with every activation. This ensures you benefit from a high level of reliability and peace of mind, no matter the riding conditions.
Lightweight comfort: unmatched freedom of movement
Safety means little without everyday comfort. The Éclair airbag vest is crafted from highly-resistant, stretchy Cordura to hug your body without restricting movement. Its inner lining in breathable 3D mesh maximizes ventilation and freshness—even during long sessions or intense effort.
With its ergonomic cut, every detail is designed to follow the rider’s natural movement: free shoulders, tailored waist, and flexible armholes. Lightweight and discreet (from just 1.1 kg depending on the size), it’s easy to forget you’re wearing it, and you can wear it both under an approved competition jacket or over your everyday riding clothes or on hacks.
The front zipper makes it easy to put on, and the refined finish makes it a high-performing yet elegant partner true to Equiline style.
Adaptability and versatility for every rider
The Éclair airbag vest was designed to support every type of rider and discipline, from leisure and daily training to competition and the outdoors. Its unisex design, ranging from XXS to XXXL, and the child version with integrated back protector mean everyone can benefit from the best technology—whatever your age, body type, or preferred discipline.
Beyond providing even protection in falls, the internal adjustment system and zipper closure ensure a precise fit, which is vital to guarantee optimal airbag deployment in any circumstance. Whether you do eventing, jumping, dressage, or trail riding, the Éclair vest adapts to your needs without compromise.
