Original horse-riding air vest design incorporating Helite's latest technological improvements
Helite's unique airbag shape inflates a big volume of protection that will absorb shocks and stabilize the whole upper body from head to tailbone.
Our engineering team develops highly reliabe airbag solutions, our airbag is then 100% made in our factory in Dijon, France.
The key-ball lanyard is a part of the airbag. In case of fall, the key-ball separates from the airbag which triggers the system.
For safety reasons, more reliability and faster inflation it is important to correctly install and use the saddle attachment.
The size of the CO2 canister is proportional to the size of the airbag. The canister is the only component that needs to be replaced after inflation of your air vest.
Technical textile especially chosen for its tear and abrasion resistance.
The collar is folded so the soft part is in contact with your skin. The collar unfolds when the airbag deploys to maintain the neck and head effectively.
Interior textile 3D mesh for maximum air circulation.
Resistant enough to sustain many inflations. Quick and easy to open and close even with gloves and/or cold hands before and after horse-riding.
Adjustment straps to fit the vest nicely over any horse-riding gear: body-protector, competition jacket, winter jacket etc.

Washing machine and dryer are prohibited. The airbag vest can be washed by hand without drowning the mechanical part of the system. We recommend that you energetically scrub with a brush in warm soapy water (no detergent, products may alter the fabric).
Yes, the airbag is water resistant. It was designed for outdoor use and can be exposed to wet conditions (rain, UV rays).
The Helite equestrian airbag systems integrate the same airbag (models: AIRNEST & ZIP'IN).
For optimal protection, we recommend it is always worn on top of every other garment. An equestrian clothing over the AIR JACKET can obstruct the normal deployment of the airbag and slow down the time of inflation.
Every airbag comes with a user guide. The user guide will explain you how to use and take care of your equestrian airbag, how to install the lanyard and reactivate your system after inflation.
Our team is at your service, even after your purchase if you have any doubt about the correct use of your inflatable body protector.
Register your airbag to extend the limited 2 years warranty into 4 years warranty
CE CERTIFICATION - Our airbags are certified by the external laboratory CRITT Sport, the French specialist for objectively testing Personal protective equipment (PPE).
