Point Two Air Jackets Point Two Air Jacket

Code: POINT2JAC
Name: Point Two Air Jackets Point Two Air Jacket
Brand: Point Two Air Jackets
Section: For the Rider
Category: Body Protectors
Type: Body Protectors

Description:

The latest safety technology - the worlds fastest inflating safety jacket. Worn by top event riders, this jacket is unparalleled in its technology and provides not only shock absorption but it also distributes pressure and above all, effectively supports the spinal column so that the neck and trunk have limited movement.

For your protection, a simple “click” is all it takes to connect you to the saddle. If you are unseated or thrown from a horse the airbag system is designed to be effective in 0.1 seconds.

The Lanyard of the jacket connects with the nylon stirrup straps at the front of the saddle. After the rider has mounted the saddle, he or she clips the 2 ends together. The Lanyard enables full movement in all directions for the rider. The airbag will only be activated if the rider is separated from the horse. The airbag jacket will then inflate within 0.1 seconds, protecting the all important areas of the body, the collar of the neck, ribs and coccyx.

The new system means that your jacket will be fully inflated after activation in 0.1 of a second, so should inflation begin from as little as 25cm from the ground your Point Two Air Jacket will be inflated before you impact the ground. The jacket is completely reusable by replacing the CO2 gas cartridge. The highly resistant polyester fabric Jacket or Gilet can be brushed or sponged down to remove stains.
