safety

  • the Hit-Air vest is designed as a shock buffering, stabalising system, giving added protection to the neck, spine, collar bones, lower back, rib cage and vital organs
  • the neck protection is designed to decelerate the neck in the event of a fall, significantly reducing the possibility of hyper-extension and whiplash
  • the Hit-Air vest is the only air vest on the market which has rib cage air bags, helping to protect both ribs and vital organs
  • the patented design, allows the lower back protection to be neatly folded away, so that it does not interfere with the saddle
  • the vest inflates outwards (rather than inwards) so there is no possibility of the rider being winded by the inflation process
  • the Hit-Air vest compliments all types of body protectors
  • it can be worn on its own, giving considerably more protection to the rider on inflation than riding without protection
  • the inflation rate of the air vests is approximately 0.25 seconds*
  • the canister and key ball are enclosed to protect the mechanism from dirt in the event of a fall

*Testing was conducted under laboratory conditions by the Japanese Automobile Research Institute and TNO Netherlands and is the time taken from activation of the key ball mechanism to the point of full inflation.

style

  • the super-lightweight air vest is perfect for hacking and schooling, in addition to the more extreme equestrian disciplines
  • the patented design allows the hit-air vest to expand when inflated allowing it to be worn discreetly without compromise in safety
  • the outward inflation means it can be worn neatly over the body or body protector
  • clever internal adjustments enable the air vest to be worn snuggly over jackets and fleeces in the winter and t-shirts in the summer

comfort

  • the design has evolved to suit the unique ergonomics of the rider
  • the Hit-Air vest is the airbag, it is not contained within a jacket, providing significantly improved wearability and freedom of movement
  • the air vest weighs only 810g. Riders report that they do not feel that they have got it on

Why Choose Hit Air?

Hit Air have specialised in air protection for over 25 years. We are the founding fathers of this technology and are proud to continue to be the market leading innovators.

We focus all our attention on worn air protection.  Our vests are CE Certified by authorised test houses in Europe and have also undergone extensive testing, research and development in facilities across the world.  We do not aim to meet the minimum standards required for certification – instead we strive to exceed shock absorbing requirements and air bag coverage to provide the ultimate air protection for riders.

Our vests are worn by hundreds of thousands of people in over 30 countries, with well over 2 million canisters sold to date.  They are worn by professionals in all riding disciplines and by happy hackers alike.

Reliability is crucial, so our vests are all hand finished in our dedicated family run facility.  We inflate all air bags before they are inserted in the vests and then once again when the vests are completed.  We are passionate about your safety, so testing them twice prior to delivering them to you and following stringent quality checks is part of our promise to you.

We provide a dedicated UK Service Centre and are on hand 7 days a week for help and advice.

We have a network of trained stockists with many having over 10 years experience fitting and supporting Hit Air customers.  This also ensures easy access to Hit Air canisters across the country.
