Ride safe: inspiration and research on behalf of riders

The safety vests from Horse Pilot are designed to provide safety, comfort and freedom of movement. Because horse riding involves taking risks, the riding vest is directly inspired from other adrenaline sports such as moto and ski. Safety clothing are meant to protect vital areas : the ribs, the back, the abdomen, the spine the shoulder, the neck, the coccyx to avoid serious injuries. The inflatable air jacket is triggered through a cartridge in a millisecond. You just have to tie it to the stirrup leather of your saddle and your ready to ride. The body protector will only be deployed when falling off the horse. It is therefore safe to walk, trot, canter, gallop and jump without fearing the unintentional deployment of the riding vest.

Airbag jacket: an essential item for everyday use

Despite the high tech protection system, this safety apparel remains light weight, waterproof and elastic thanks to the padded lining, the small zipper and the light snug for an optimal freedom of movement while riding. Riding helmets have become a standard and mandatory to wear both at home and in competition. Our main concern is that safety vests follow the same way in order to provide riders the perfect riding experience and protective gear. Whether you practice olympic dressage, show jumping, cross-country, endurance or take western riding lessons, your garment must provide maximum protection.

Safety, elegance and discretion

You can try on the airbag in our partner saddlery and ask for personalised advice. There are also special compatible products that can be worn above the airbag vest such as a show jacket for competition or a bomber jacket during training. Contrary to hi-vis jacket, the airbag riding vest from Horse Pilot won't even be noticed under clothes from the compatible range. We have worked in collaboration with in&motion to create a protective gear that meets the aesthetic and ergonomic needs required in horse riding. These long years of research have paid off, as the airbag has won over its users from beginners to 5 stars Grand Prix riders. Discover the testimonials of our airbag enthusiasts.
