      Description


      CE NF S72-800:2022 Certified, the first and only equestrian certification for air bag vests! See terms and condition at bottom. The Hit-Air wearable air vest does not require an additional safety vest however with proper sizing, can accommodate mandates that might be required while participating is certain equestrian activities.

      The new Hit Air Pro 3, like the Pro, has larger airbags than the original Hit-Air vest and the airbags deploy just as fast as the Hit-Air Original to enable the airbag to fully inflate before you hit the ground. Like all the Hit Air vests, our vests inflate outwards and not inward, so make sure that you dont wear restrictive clothing outside the airvest. The airbags are concealed and will automatically pop out of the snapped enclosures, thus minimizing the length of the vest while you are riding. The vest is more like a tubular harness, minimizing weight and allowing maximum airflow. Since a strong activation force is required, riders should weigh at least 100 pounds unless using a kids vest. This also means that you are less likely to inadvertantly activate the vest. The airbag is placed next to your body at the back of the key box to strengthen its shock buffering function. Additional shock absorbing padding has been added to the Pro 3 on either side of the chest airbags for added strength and protection. The Pro 3 is CE NF S72-800:2022 certified. Optional back pads can also be added that just Velcro in place for easy removal, as well as side and chest protectors.

      CE Certified Equestrian Airbag Vest

      The MLV3-H offers a greater range of protection due to the large volume of the airbag. Once activated, the buttons automatically open by air pressure and the airbag inflates to a large size. The harness-style design allows for a wide range of compatible sizes and the waist belt allows for size adjustment. It can be worn all year round, over both spring/summer and winter jackets (optional buckle extenders are available under Accessories).

      The PRO models are more focused on the ribs and tailbone, as tthe PRO and MLV models have a single but large drop down airbag that comes down further in the rear. This model along with the other MLV models are sized larger than the H-Model/Advantage (e.g. I wear a medium Advantage, and can wear a small PRO , but the medium is much too large for me).  The size small vest is sized slightly larger in girth than the Advantage medium, but slightly shorter. This model has a large single drop-down rear airbag and larger rib bag than the Advantage/H-Model.

      All vests include the proper sized CO2, all-in-one adjustable bungee lanyard/English saddle strap combo, tool kit for changing CO2 canister, and Custom Hit-Air Hanger for proper storage of your vest. Note that this all-in-one combo English saddle strap/bungee lanyard is only for English style saddles that can attach to the stirrup bars under the fenders. Non English style saddles will require you to order the optional lanyard type of your preference and possibly an optional saddle strap (e.g. Night Latch). We recommend for non English style saddles attaching your choice of lanyards to the pommel using either a Night Latch (see Accessories) or a strong nylon dog collar. We generally don't recommend attaching to a horn or D ring as the lanyard could be pulled off the horn or break the ring. Yes, you could secure the lanyard over the horn and back under the pommel, but this could cause the lanyard to be too short, resulting in an increased risk of premature deployment. We also recommend unbuckling all buckles before dismounting to avoid scratching your saddle or getting hung up on your saddle. Note: that our manufacturing representative recommends the short bungee for horses under 15 hands, but at least 13 hands, that vests be inspected/serviced annually and replaced after 5 years. Our importer will only service vests under 5 years of age.

            I am aware that operating, riding or being a passenger on a motorcycle, ATV or other power sports vehicles involve certain inherent risks, dangers and hazards which can result in serious personal injury or death.

            I am aware that "equine activity" e.g. horseback riding and other equestrian sports events, including professional racing, dressage, show jumping, eventing, polo, vaulting, endurance, harness racing, and others have certain inherent risks, dangers and hazards which can result in serious personal injury or even death.

           "Inherent risks of equine activities" means those dangers or conditions which are an integral part of equine activities, including, but not limited to:

      (1) The propensity of an equine to behave in ways that may result in injury, harm, or death to persons on or around them;

      (2) The unpredictability of an equine's reaction to such things as sounds, sudden movement, and unfamiliar objects, persons, or other animals;

      (3) Certain hazards such as surface and subsurface conditions;

      (4) Collisions with other equines or objects; and

      (5) The potential of a participant to act in a negligent manner that may contribute to injury to the participant or others, such as failing to maintain control over the animal or not acting within the participant's ability.

           "Participant" means any person, whether amateur or professional, who engages in an equine activity, whether or not a fee is paid to participate in the equine activity.

            I am also aware that the Hit-air airbag line of safety apparel sold, marketed and or distributed by Riding Safe, LLC, cannot guarantee protection against injury or guarantee increased safety in all situations.

            As of 2001 there are 45 states with Equine Activity statues that provide that a person may not bring a lawsuit if the activity resulted from an inherent risk of equine activities, with the exception of providing defective tack or failing to match horse with rider. New York has proposed equine activity statue not yet enacted.
