Freejump Airbag
The Freejump Airbag Air Vest is a great choice when it comes to safety in showjumping airbags and air vests. Stylish and comfortable the Freejump Airbag is designed for comfort and safety.
The Freejump Airbag air vest is the first airbag vest designed for horseback riding, that has been been approved by the NF S72- 800-202 standard. France is also the first country to adopt a standard governing the manufacture of equestrian airbags (PPE – Personal Protective Equipment).
During the time waiting for a European harmonization and for all other airbag manufacturers to bring up their standards, the NF S72-800-2022 standard provides riders with increased protection by regulating the protective surface, the speed of the inflation and by imposing much more severe impact tests on the vests.
The Freejump Airbag air vest is the result of years of planning and innovation and of course Freejump’s concern for the performance, comfort and safety of riders.
As you will be aware, horse riding can be a dangerous sport, whether it is recreational riding for a hobby or competing at a level which puts the rider at risk. With this in mind it is always worth considering the options available to improve your safety.
The Freejump Airbag is a protective air vest made purposefully for horse riding and should be worn close to the body. It can be worn over a thin layer of clothing a T-shirt, show shirt or sweater or thin jumper.
Please Note, for ultimate protection in the event of a fall we would always advise using with a back protector underneath, but these days you will see more and more riders, that choose to ride with out this protection underneath and use the Freejump Airvest on its own. Please note that how you choose to ride with your airvest, whether you combine with a back protector underneath or not, is your choice and you do so at your own risk.
When choosing your air vest please bare in mind that the minimum weights for both adult and children’s air vests, must have a minimum weight of, Adult 35kg and Children 25kg.
Different to the Point Two Air Jacket which is used predominantly in eventing and cross country, a back protector is required underneath at all times during competition.
Please note that both the Point Two Air Jacket and the Freejump Airvest will only inflate when the rider parts company with the horse and saddle, far enough to pull the lanyard and bearing from its seated position.
