Helite's Unique Zip'In2 Airvest
Helite has changed the way airvests look with the very stylish Zip'In2 Airvest, combining style with ultimate safety.
The Zip'In2 Airbag Vest is so discreet and stylish, no-one will know you are wearing an airvest.
The unique aspect of our Zip'In2 airvest is that it can also be combined with our Zip'In compatible outers via an inner zip: the Prestige Sleeveless Vest (for daily schooling and hacking), and the Airshell Show Jacket for competition.
Also available is the Helite Airnest Vest - very robust yet still comfortable. Perfect for going over a back protector for Cross Country, daily hacking, or out on the endurance field.
Important Facts to Know About Helite Airvests
Big protection volume: Helite airvests fully inflate in less than 0.1 seconds to a massive volume with optimal pressure. The big protection volume (between 14 and 28 L depending on the size of the airbag) prevents serious injuries. The unique shape of the airbag absorbs shocks and stabilises the body from head to tailbone.
Mechanical system: a reliable, simple and robust system. Simply hook the lanyard of the airbag vest to the saddle using the saddle strap. The airbag inflates when the lanyard is pulled off with a minimum of 30kg pressure.
Fully Reusable: fast and easy to reset after a fall - simply replace the used CO2 canister with a new one of the same capacity - done in a couple of minutes.
