Hit Air Advantage H2 Kids Airbag Vest

Introducing the new Hit-Air Advantage H2 Vest - CE and NF S72-800:2022 Certified, the first and only equestrian certification for air bag vests. The Hit-Air H2 Vest, is certified to the Equestrian Standard NF S72-800:2022, the first and currently only standard, adopted in France, specifically for the manufacture of airbags for equestrian sports.

The H2 features the tailored style and fit of the Hit Air Advantage Vest with additional inner padding in the back, hips, neck and rib cage area. It features our new All-In-one Adjustable Bungee-Saddle Strap combination.

Hit-Air is manufactured by MUGEN DENKO, LTD, the international leader and original air vest manufacturer with more than two decades of experience in airbag technology. The Hit-Air H2 Airbag Vest is “harness type” airbag, which is worn close to the body with the design allowing airflow to offer cooling while riding. It employs a high-speed key ball mechanism which activates the CO2 cartridge. Its versatile design makes it perfect for riders of all equestrian disciplines, fitting beautifully over a show coat, while offering protection for all disciplines, including Eventing, Endurance, Carriage and Western. This vest does not require an additional safety vest, unless riding in USEA Cross Country Schooling or Competitions.

• "Harness type" airbag that employs the new higher speed key ball mechanism (component that activates the CO2 cartridge)
• 0.09 sec deployment time! Inflates faster than the SV Air vest
• Versatile design is suitable for Eventing, Western and other equestrian disciplines
• The neck airbag , where most injuries occur, inflates first, followed by (in only a fraction of a millisecond) the torso and hip airbag. The neck airbag is also significantly larger than the leading competitor's neck air bag
• The key box where the CO2 cartridge is deployed is protected from dust and dirt and provides sound insulation to minimize spooking the horse during an unintended deployment
• The vest is also more comfortable because the hip air bags are concealed inside a special pocket making it unnecessary to have a long "duck tailed" style that can be uncomfortable in the saddle
• The Advantage is also more versatile because it has an additional optional CE back protector and waist side cushions
• The new Advantage is also cooler to wear because of the open design

With all of these advantages, it is also more affordable costing hundreds of dollars less than other available air vests.

The Hit-Air H2 Vest is available in sizes from 25.5” Chest 21.6” waist to 51” Chest and 44.5” waist. Refer to our size chart for your proper size.
