Freejump® Adults’ Airbag Vest*

The Freejump® Adults’ Airbag Vest is the first equestrian air vest to be approved by the NF S72- 800-2022 standard. France is the first country to adopt a standard governing the manufacture of equestrian airbags (PPE–Personal Protective Equipment). While waiting for a European harmonization, the NF S72-800-2022 standard provides riders with increased protection by regulating the protective surface, the speed of the inflation and by imposing much more severe impact tests on the vests.

The Freejump Airbag is the result of innovation, concern for the performance and concern for the comfort and safety of riders. Martin Fuchs has been leading the way since July 2019 (CHIO Aachen) using the Freejump Airbag.

The Freejump Airbag is worn close to the body under a compatible jacket or can be worn over a thin layer of clothing, such as a T-shirt, show jacket or thin pullover. Compatible jackets bear the “Freejump Airbag Technology” badge. Each Airbag is tested individually.

The vest reaches in 98ms* the necessary pressure to obtain an optimal protection and outperforms the impact tests of the AFNOR NF S72-800-2022 standard.

Key features & benefits:

• Comfortable design offers cervical, back, lumbar, sacrum, pelvis and thorax protection.
• For optimal neck protection, a neck brace stabilizes the spine and vital areas.
• Continuous hips protection for a perfect trunk alignment.
• Chest protection adapted to each size (24% of the chest circumference and 100% of the waist-shoulder length).
• Back protection adapted to each size (20% of the chest circumference and 120% of the waist-shoulder length).
• Better protection of the spine and vital organs thanks to two bust heights per size on sizes XS-S-M-L (regular fit/ slim fit).

Made from breathable, silky, comfortable Italian fabrics, the vest has a fitted cut for great protection. Perforated fabric allows good ventilation. A soft backing plate makes for less discomfort on the sides.

Y-saddle cord buckle is a high-performance, lightweight textile buckle that eliminates the noise of the metal buckle of the key ball leash.

Triggering system is a CO2 gas generator, small, lightweight and the most efficient on the market. Resetting is made easy by the cap guide when unscrewing and screwing—there is no possibility of losing the cap. The ball retaining clip allows a safe and simplified reset of the keyball leash.

Compatible garments are also certified by the AFNOR NF S72-800-2022 standard. Jackets compatible with the Freejump Airbag must bear the label “FREEJUMP AIRBAG TECHNOLOGY–COMPATIBLE JACKET”.
