Horse Life Flexflow is a black airbag safety vest developed specifically for horse riding. The airbag system activates within a fraction of a second in the event of a fall, and the vest has been tested according to the current NF S72-800:2022 standard, meaning that it meets high requirements for airbag systems used in equestrian sports. The construction is designed to combine a high level of protection with maximum freedom of movement.
The vest has an ergonomic, close-fitting design that naturally adapts to the body. Integrated stretch zones, low weight and breathable material provide a high level of comfort and good freedom of movement while riding. The airbag system is designed to protect particularly vulnerable areas such as the neck, chest, back, coccyx and pelvis. When activated, the airbag expands outwards from the body via an activation strap that is securely attached to the saddle.
Airbag Flexflow has a sporty and discreet design and weighs 944 grams in size S, including the CO2 cartridge and activation strap. After activation, the vest can easily be reactivated by replacing the CO2 gas cartridge. One CO2 gas cartridge is included. The vest is suitable for people weighing over 30 kg and should be used when riding horses with a withers height of at least 120 cm.

Instructions for use
For the airbag system to activate correctly, the activation strap must be attached to the Y-shaped saddle strap, which is fitted to the saddle's stirrup bars. Always check that the strap is correctly and securely fitted before riding.
Always remember to disconnect the activation strap from the saddle before dismounting to prevent the airbag from being activated accidentally.
After the airbag has been activated, the vest can be reset and used again by replacing the discharged CO2 cartridge with a new cartridge of the correct size.
Size & fit
For the vest to provide the best possible protection, it is important to choose the correct size and fit. The size should primarily be selected based on the chest measurement. The hip measurement is a guide and may affect how the vest fits.
All chest and hip measurements refer to body measurements and should be taken directly on the body. The vest length is a product measurement and serves as a guide to how the vest will fit in the riding position. The fit is also affected by the length of the upper body – a shorter torso may, for example, make the vest feel tighter around the hips.
For correct function, the lower edge of the vest should not rest against the saddle when in the riding position. As a guideline, there should be approximately one hand's width between the lower edge of the vest and the saddle.
The vest should fit close to the body while still providing enough room for the airbag to expand when activated. You should be able to fit a fist between the chest and the vest.
Fit may vary depending on body type and proportions. The size guide is therefore a general recommendation and does not guarantee an individual fit.
