As well as the obvious protection from shock absorption, the jacket distributes pressure and, above all, effectively makes the spine column rigid so that the neck and trunk have limited movement.
For your protection, a simple “click” is all it takes to connect you to the saddle. If you are unseated or thrown from a horse the airbag system is designed to be effective in 0.2 seconds
The coiled wire of the jacket connects with the holding strap placed at the saddle. After the rider has mounted the saddle, he or she clips the 2 ends together. The coiled wire enables full movement in all directions for the rider. The airbag will only be activated if the rider is separated from the horse. The airbag jacket will then inflate within 0.2 seconds, protecting the all important areas of the body, the neck, ribs and coccyx.
The new system starts to operate in 0.1 of a second, so inflation begins in less than 1 meter of a drop.
Reusable after simple replacement of the CO²
gas cartridge.
The highly resistant polyester fabric Jacket or Gilet is washable once the airbag has been removed.
