They are established, reputable and have a proven record. They also provide more protection than other competitive brands, which stand them apart. They offer neck protection, which inflates out at an angle ( not interfering with your helmet ) and supports your neck from whiplash or worse, as well as full spinal column and frontal inflation, protection vital organs.

They offer two styles three styles of inflatable vests. the Airjacket which is the preferred style for very small children, as the other styles do not come in sizes smaller than XXS or equivalent to a childs large. The Helite Zip in 1, which requires an outer shell to zip into for it to function, as it does not have a stand alone zipper. The New Generation Zip in 2 can be worn alone, and with an outer shell, as it has a zipper on the actual airbag and is proving to be the most popular style.

Each vest comes with a Co2 canister, a lanyard and a saddle clip. The saddle clip attaches to the stirrup bars on your saddle and the D ring clip sits at the pommel. This clip stays on your saddle, and is places on before you put on your stirrup leathers. This is where you clip in and out from, please remember to unclip before jumping off!  If you have any further questions, please feel free to message us at: soleaequestrian@gmail.com
