The Seaver Safefit Airbag Riding Vest: Navy is a comfortable and sleek design that is designed to provide high levels of protection to vital areas of your upper body in the event of a fall. It is inflated by a CO2, which sits securely in the front of vest. When the rider separates from the saddle, the canister is activated by the release of a lanyard that is clipped from the vest onto an attachment on the saddle. The canister inflates the airbag vest in approximately 0.09 to 0.17 seconds, giving increased protection to the back, lumbar area, neck, cervical spine, rig cage, pelvis and sacrum before impact.
Once the vest has been activated, the canister can be easily replaced so that the vest can be used again. The vest must be used with a canister, and replacement canisters are available separately.
Constructed from weatherproof stretch fabric with mesh panels and weighing around 600g (for a medium size), it allows superb freedom to move, allowing you to ride comfortably, whether you are hacking, schooling or jumping, all year around.
Safety Standards: In order to ensure maximum protection for riders and to avoid serious injuries, SAFEFIT has been subjected to numerous tests by the independent laboratory ALIÉNOR CERTIFICATION. SAFEFIT has therefore been awarded the new NF certification (S72-800:2021) and the CE mark in accordance with the European directive 89/686/EEC of 21/12/1986.
This standard is the result of the work of a group of European experts who, over a period of 4 years, designed the first and only standard governing the manufacture of horse riding airbags (Personal Protective Equipment – PPE). It guarantees increased protection for the rider according to criteria such as the protected surface, the inflation speed and the impact resistance. SAFEFIT protects you from mechanical shocks, hyper flexion and hyperextension of the trunk and spine.
The SAFEFIT Vest can be combined with the SAFERIDE option offered on the Seaver app (Android and IOS). When set up on your phone, your family and friends are alerted in the event of a fall and can geolocate you for rescue. A 1-year free subscription to SAFERIDE is included with each SAFEFIT Airbag Vest.
