Other Hit Air Vest Parts

Cartridges

The Hit Air equestrian vest comes with multiple pieces. The air vest cartridges are available from 30cc to 100cc. They’re color-coded and have the CC (cubic centimeter) capacity written on them. You can also find the CC requirement of your vest printed on the inside of the area that the cartridge screws in.

 Replacement Tool and Bolt Kit

The bolt and Allen wrench that is used to replace your Hit Air cartridges comes with a new vest. A replacement from the manufacturing company is also available if you lose the tool.

Saddle Strap

The saddle strap for Hit Air vests connects across the pommel of the saddle, from stirrup bar to stirrup bar. It’s made of a tough material that won’t break – unlike a leather grab strap that may break under the pressure of a fall. You don’t want to connect the Hit Air saddle strap to your D-rings – those will rip off, causing damage to your saddle + the vest may not deploy.

Buckle Extender

Occasionally, we find riders who find the deployed vest too snug when combined with their required cross country safety vest. For those riders, we’re able to extend the buckles by adding the Hit Air vest buckle extender.
