PROTECTION

AIRBAG PROTECTION

Big protection volume: The Zip’In 1 and Zip’In 2 air bags have big protection volume (between 14 and 28 L depending on the size of the airbag) prevents serious injuries. The unique shape and fabric of the vest outer allows the separately supplied airbag to absorb shocks and stabilise the body from head to tailbone. All this whilst maintaining its shape after reuse.

TRIGGER SYSTEM

  • Mechanically activated via the use of a detachable lanyard/saddle strap system.

Frequently Asked Questions

It is important to choose the right size of your airbag for optimal protection. For this, we advise you follow our size chart. Hint: measuring your back is important and a good indication to finding the right size. Please note that this Airbag Safety Vest should be worn over a Zip’In airbag. The size of the airbag and the outer must always be the same. (eg. A Zip’In airbag in size S must be combined with a compatible outer in size S.)

Yes, but you won’t be protected. The outer must be associated with a Zip’In 1 or 2 airbag lining to protect you.

All replacement canisters can be purchased from our canisters section found in the main menu.

All replacement lanyards can be purchased from our lanyards section, found in Equestrian Lanyards in the main menu.

Yes, as long as the airbag is in good condition with no holes or tears. It’s easy to do, you can reset the system in under 2 minutes, without sending your airbag system back to us. You simply need to replace the CO2 canister with a new one, available in our canisters section. Please read the manual and see the videos section on this page, showing how this is done.

No, once it is used you will need a replacement. All replacement canisters can be purchased from our canisters section found in the main menu.

All our airbag equestrian safety vest systems come with a 2 year warranty. You can extend this if you register the product within 3 months of purchase and have it serviced by us at the end of the first two years. This will give you an additional two years of warranty.

  • Bus, train, car:

No constraint. For electronic models, remember to turn off the vest when you take this type of transport with your vest.

 

  • Plane :

You may encounter some difficulties with the security services regarding the CO2 canisters used to inflate the airbag. According to the regulations (IATA Regulations – see download), you are authorised to fly with 2 gas canisters (the volume must be less than 200cc), in the cabin or in the hold. Even if the regulations allow it, it is possible that the security service or the airline refuses to let you board with it. We strongly recommend that you print the “IATA Regulations” and show this document to the security service or the airline during the control if they ask for more explanations. In any case, it is the airport security service and the airline that will make the final decision whether or not to accept the airbag on board.

Often each airline will have their own advice pages online, it is worth printing these out also as supplementary documentation.
