Equiline Kid-Junior Air Bag Vest Black

The Equiline Kid-Junior Air Bag Vest Black is an ergonomic air bag riding vest designed to provide additional protection for young riders. It can be worn underneath compatible competition jackets, with the jacket requiring a minimum of 15% elastane to accommodate the vest's inflation.

Made from Cordura stretch with a breathable 3D mesh lining, the vest is designed to provide a close, comfortable fit without restricting movement. The open cut under the arms allows greater freedom of movement while riding.

The air bag system is activated by a cable connected to the saddle. When triggered, the vest inflates in less than 100 milliseconds. The replaceable 30cc CO₂ cartridge is accessed at the right front of the vest and can be replaced after inflation.

The vest provides protection around the rib cage, spine, hips and sacrum, and also incorporates a Level 1 D3O back protector for additional protection.

Always read the manufacturer's user manual before use and ensure the vest is correctly fitted and installed.
