The Airbag Manege Safety Vest is a simple and versatile choice for riders seeking extra protection without compromising on comfort. The vest is designed to be worn over regular clothing, and even over other safety vests or back protectors. It is available in multiple sizes to fit as many riders as possible.
When the safety mechanism is triggered, the vest inflates in just 0.3 seconds, creating a protective airbag around the upper body – with particular focus on the spine, ribcage, and hips. It is certified according to PSA 2016/425 and NF S72-800:2022, ensuring a high safety standard. After deployment, the CO2 cartridge is easy to replace, and the vest is immediately ready for use again.
Approved for competition if you are over 18 years old.

Usage Instructions
The vest is designed to be worn close to the body, so it's important that you only wear a thin layer of clothing underneath, such as a light shirt. Avoid wearing garments over the vest unless it's a specific approved garment clearly marked for use with an airbag vest.
For the airbag to activate properly, the elastic strap must be attached to the Y-shaped saddle strap. This saddle strap is mounted to the stirrup bars on both sides of the saddle after temporarily removing the stirrup leathers. Once the saddle strap is in place, reattach the stirrup leathers, and then position the strap's fastening loop centered above the saddle.
Always remember to disconnect the vest from the saddle strap before dismounting the horse, as failure to do so may accidentally trigger the airbag.
Size & Fit
To ensure the best possible protection, it's crucial that the vest fits properly. Use a measuring tape and follow the size chart carefully to select the correct size for your body.
