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.

Helite Certification and Warranty

Helite has been making airbags for motorcyclists and equestrians for over 20 years.

Helite products are all designed and manufactured in France.

Airbag CE certified: Our airbag systems are CE certified by the ALIENOR CERTIFICATION laboratory in France, a recognised and independent institute that certifies Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) for equestrian riders.

I was recommended a Helite vest by a friend after having a fractured L1 and then a
fractured left sacral ala. Today I found out just how good they are. The buck I received was enough to send me catapulting through the air to land on what felt like a cushion. I totally believe that without the vest I would have ended up in the hospital or worse. Instead I have a fat lip and just feel a bit stiff. For anyone contemplating a vest I would say just do it. I won't ever ride again
without it. Thanks so much Jackie.

Thanks for the opportunity to purchase one of your safety vests. The timing could not have been any more perfect. My daughter suffered a nasty fall from her baby horse in a freak accident only a week or so after purchasing the vest. The horse came down on the back of her neck as it galloped away, and the doctors and physio have both said that without the vest, Katy would either be in a wheelchair or not have made it through her accident. We are so pleased we bought one. Thank you

Great service from Sam who came to my house to help fit my new vest. Im getting the zip in with the very smart show jacket and the stylish blouse. Expensive? Yes and no! Expensive to be out of action for 8 or more weeks. Stupidly I have waited until after breaking my back to order an air vest. Not the way to do it. I had an accident riding a polite horse on the flat . Anyway, safe to say I have promised myself (and my family) never to ride again without an air vest!

Thanks for showing me
how, it was a doddle to change from show jacket to blouson. The system truly allowed me a sort of horses for courses selection of outerwear unencumbered by a bulky and uninspiring body protector, yet knowing I was absolutely still
protected.  I'm definitely one VERY  "happy camper" Thank
you for all your help.
