Airbags

Airbag vests are a valuable addition to every rider’s safety gear. These innovative safety vests work with an inflatable cushion that is worn under airbag-compatible jackets or over close-fitting riding clothing. Once the system detects that the rider is falling, the airbag is activated within a fraction of a second. The vest then protects the upper body, including the back, lower back, neck, cervical spine, ribcage, pelvis, and sacrum.

A properly fitting airbag is essential for optimal protection. The vest should reach at least below the ribcage and fit snugly. There should be space for about a fist, but it should not feel loose. Always wear your airbag over tight-fitting clothing and never over a thick jacket.

After a fall, you can purchase replacement cartridges to reuse the vest. Airbags should be checked regularly and well maintained to ensure proper functionality.

The Freejump X'Air Safe airbag back protector is the first body protector with an integrated airbag that provides 8 times better protection than a body protector alone, and 4 times better protection than a body protector with an airbag on top!

Did you know that we have a special selection of competition jackets from top brands like Equiline, Vestrum, Cavalleria Toscana, and Samshield that are airbag compatible? These jackets are designed to be worn over an airbag. Thanks to the technical stretch fabrics, they can comfortably stretch when the airbag is activated, without tearing.
