Point Two Air Jackets with 3 Air Canisters Adults (Large 5ft 9″ – 6ft 2″)

As well as the obvious protection from shock absorption, the Point 2 ProAir Air jacket distributes pressure and above all, effectively supports the spinal column so that the neck and trunk have limited movement on impact

For your protection, a simple click is all it takes to connect you to the saddle. If you are unseated or thrown from a horse the airbag system in the Point 2 ProAir Air Jacket is designed to be effective in 0.1 seconds

The Lanyard of the Point 2 ProAir Air jacket connects with the nylon stirrup straps at the front of the saddle. After the rider has mounted the saddle, he or she clips the 2 ends together. The Lanyard enables full movement in all directions for the rider. The airbag will only be activated if the rider is separated from the horse. The airbag jacket will then inflate within 0.1 seconds, protecting the all important areas of the body, the collar of the neck, ribs and coccyx.

The release of the lanyard from the canister requires a 6 stone weight to trigger therefore making it difficult to trigger accidentally. The system means that your jacket will be fully inflated after activation in 0.1 of a second, so should inflation begin from as little as 25cm from the ground your Point Two Air Jacket will be inflated before you impact the ground.

The jacket is completely reusable by replacing the CO2 gas cartridge. The highly resistant polyester fabric Jacket or Gilet can be brushed or sponged down to remove stains.
