Feel safe in the saddle with HitAir
When they find their dream horse, our lucky winner will be able to ride with confidence in the best safety gear around as we’ll be kitting them out in a brand new HitAir vest. Designed to protect the neck, spine, collar bones, lower back, rib cage and vital organs, these vests offer optimum safety and, to ensure our winner gets the perfect size and fit, the HitAir team will help them to select the right one for their needs.
Comfort as well as safety
Lightweight and comfortable, HitAir vests are perfect for a wide range of disciplines, from hacking and schooling to more extreme equestrian sports. They can be easily adjusted for use over jackets and fleeces in winter and T-shirts in the summer months, and the patented design of the vests allows the lower back protection to be neatly folded away, so that it doesn’t interfere with your saddle. The vests inflflate outwards (rather than inwards) so there’s no possibility of being winded by the inflation process and they can be worn on their own or over a body protector.
Clever protection
HitAir vests come with a saddle strap, which is attached firmly to the stirrup bars of your saddle. The air vest itself has its own lanyard, which can then be attached to the strap by a lanyard once you’re in the saddle. In the event of a fall, the inflflation of the vest is activated when the rider becomes detached from the
horse and the lanyard is pulled from the key ball mechanism. This pierces the CO2 canister, which then causes the vest to inflate in approximately 0.25 seconds. To fifind out more, visit www.hitairuk. co.uk
