The ProAir vest offers outstanding protection for equestrian activities like eventing, polo, schooling, and also hacking. Its durability, combined with its lightweight design, has made it a top pick among riders. Designed for comfort, you won't even notice the ProAir until you need it. Fast inflation: Point Two Air Vests now inflate between 60 and 80 milliseconds - faster inflation means faster protection from impact Efficient CO2 delivery: No narrow passages or folding chambers to impede dispersion, ensuring reliable, rapid inflation. Bayonet canister connection: Simple, secure canister fitting with a bayonet connector for fast changes and reduced installation errors. Comfort-focused fit: Foam pads behind the trigger for even pressure; adjustable side straps; pleated neck for better inflation action (Pro Air and Hunter); neoprene collar for added comfort (Pro Air and Hunter). Protective coverage: Inflated vest supports the spinal column and cushions the neck, ribs, coccyx, and vital organs, helping guard against crushing injuries in rotational falls. Standards: Meets EN 13158:2009 and SATRA M38 safety standards Complete package: Includes saddle attachment, bungee lanyard, and 1 x CO2 canister for immediate use. Point 2 air vests are fitted with one singular air bag which is why they inflate faster than others on the market. There are no narrow passages to choke the Co2 dispersion, or chambers that can fold over on each other when a bend in the body occurs. Impact testing conducted by TRL (Transport Research Laboratory) try to recreate a test where there would be potentially fatal impact to the chest. The Point Two air jacket reduced levels of chest compression seen in severe chest impact by more than 55% of those seen in an unprotected fall. In an equivalent impact, a Level 3 body protector shows only a 9% improvement on chest compression measures compared to no protective clothing. When used in conjunction with a BETA level 3 body protector the Pro Air improves spinal protection by up to 69% additionally the Pro Air provides approximately 45% more lower spine protection than a BETA level 3 body protector when worn alone. With or without a BETA level 3 body protector underneath there is a reduced risk of rib fractures and underlying organ damage by as much as 20%. We do highly recommend that have your jacket serviced yearly, after 6 inflations, after a heavy fall or submersion in water. It is very important that you as the user makes regular checks for wear & tear on your lanyard and replace your lanyard every 2 years dependent on how often and how long you ride. Check the weight of the Co2 canister for pressure loss - they should weigh 185g (60cc canisters) or 151g (50cc child canisters) The Pro Air is not designed for use with a Western saddle. Western saddle riders should use the Hunter Air Jacket or Soft Shell Gilet style Air Jacket. The Pro Air Air Vest can be worn with or without a Level 3 body protector but be sure to take your measurements with your body protector on.
