DownloadTECHNICAL INFORMATIONS
First placement after purchase:
The airbag you have just purchased IS NOT ACTIVATED and requires a significant movement on your part to make it operational.
You need to "arm" the airbag on the same principle as changing the cartridge and attaching the leash.
You'll find everything you need to help you at the bottom of this page, under "Site Support (FAQ, user guide...)"
Explanations are laid out in the user guide and explanatory video below.
Choosing your size:
Refer to the table in the product images.
Consider the following 2 measurements: chest circumference and back length (also see the user guide). If you find your measurements corresponding to two different sizes, we recommend choosing the larger size indicated for your product.
Standards and trigger speed:
CE CERTIFICATION - The Air Bag body protector has been tested by the CRITT lab and certified by Alienor Certification (organisation that certifies protective equipment).
Airbags are classified as Personal Protective Equipment (PPE)
Complies with standard: NF S72-800 :2022 (only standard designed for horse riding airbag protectors)
The average trigger speed is 138 milliseconds for all kids' sizes
Adjustment
The Airbag should always be worn over the rest of your riding equipment. Wearing clothing on top may prevent the airbag from opening and slow the inflation time, and you risk being overcompressed by the inflated body protector during a fall. An airbag protector should not be worn cinched.
Use and operation of the airbag:
The airbag attaches to the saddle at the stirrup knives using the "saddle strap", which connects to the airbag using a leash with a snap hook ("connection strap").
In the case of a fall or a sudden significant tension on the leash, the leash will detach from the body protector, causing it to inflate. All you need to "re-arm" it is to replace the cartridge with a new one and re-attach the system.
All explanations are available in the user guide.
Using compatible cartridges and accessories for body protectors:
The airbag protector is sold with a gas cartridge that should be replaced after each inflation.
The cartridge for kids' airbags must be 63 cc (ref: 5323924)
The use of any other brand of cartridge voids all manufacturer's warranties and responsibilities. The same applies to the accessories needed for the body protector to work properly (saddle strap and leash with carabiner (known as the "connection strap")). All parts are available from after-sales on our website.
How to replace your cartridge:
The detailed explanations can be found in the user guide and here's the link to the explanatory video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2pPtafoYGsY
Transport:
Please note: a body protector airbag must not be folded or exposed to extreme heat (back shelf of a car not recommended).
Competition regulations:
In the EEC, the Airbag body protector can only be worn in competitions when paired with a body protector that meets current standards, currently BETA level 3, CE EN 13158:2009.
Care advice:
Wash using a slightly damp sponge.
