Product Description

Hit Air Kids Airbag Vest

Hit Air Kids Airbag Vest provide neck and body protection for young rider learning the ropes. The new kids equestrian air vest is a culmination of more than a decade of experience in airbag technology by Mugen Denko, LTD. a Japanese company that started making airbag vests for motorcycle riders. They adapted their technology for use by equestrians, producing an airbag vest that protects your neck, spine, internal organs (like your heart, sorta important) and pelvis/hips.

  • 45 lbs minimum for Hit-Air Pro Kids Lite
  • 55 lbs minimum for Advantage Kids
  • Hit-Air is the only air vest company to offer a vest with a weight limits this low!
• Air vest deploys in .09 seconds, starting with your neck first (fastest in the industry)
• Airbag inflates behind CO2 canister, pushing it away from body – more comfortable than the competition’s version
• Large neck airbag keeps head vertical, fully supporting neck – this feature was a flow-through from their original motorcycle models
• Hip/pelvis protection
• Warning – do not use an equestrian airbag vest on horses under 13.2 hands

Package includes: 

• Equestrian Airbag Vest
• One C02 cartridge (we suggest you have one in the vest and 2 in reserve)
• Cartridge removal / reset tool
• Cord that connects to saddle strap (does not include saddle strap itself)

In the event of a fall, an equestrian air vest such as the hit air advantage airbag vest provides a shock-buffering system that’s activated instantly (about .15 seconds for Hit Air brand air vests). An airbag powered by Co2 gas is activated when the rider’s distance from the saddle exceeds the “activation distance”. Co2 flows instantly into neck, chest, back and hip airbags to inflate them and absorb the impact on the rider’s body.
