Equestrian Safety Gear Reaches New High

We have seen a surge of interest in equestrian safety gear. From equestrian helmets to equestrian safety vests, safety gear sales have increased.

We don’t believe the interest stems from new concerns but from new technology that allows riders to be as safe as possible.

 

Horse Riding Safety Vest for Sale

We sell high-quality safety vests, including the Helite Airbag Safety Vest, which inflates to secure a protective cushion around the neck and torso during a fall.

These inflatable safety vests go well beyond the nominal coverage of the hard protective vests. While no precautionary measure is foolproof and the chance of injury is always possible, wearing an inflatable safety vest – or airbag safety vest – can help reduce injury to the horse rider. An inflatable equestrian safety vest protects the neck, spine, thorax, chest, collar bones, lower back, and hips. In addition, the pressure outward provides an unprecedented amount of cushion for any currently available safety vest on the market today.

Once appropriately situated on the horse, the rider will attach a lanyard to the saddle connected to the safety. If a rider falls off, the lanyard will separate from the vest triggering the CO2 cartridge to fill the vest with CO2 gas. Inflation takes only a fraction of a second to occur.

What is the best equestrian safety vest?

There are a variety of equestrian safety vests to choose from. Depending on the specific need for safety, you may have to select a particular type. For example, if you are in a competition that requires a typical protective rigid vest, you will need to adhere to that policy for the event.

However, we realize that safety goes beyond an equestrian event. Equestrian riders and trail riders alike need protection as well.

If you choose the best equestrian vest for safety, you may go beyond the standard rigid vest and pick an inflatable one.

For more excellent safety, we prefer Helite Generation 2 Safety vest. As stated earlier, the more excellent coverage of various vital organs and parts of the body makes the airbag safety vest genuinely unique.

In various falls where the rider is thrown off the horse, a hard landing is often inevitable. When the inflatable vest is deployed in a fraction of a second, the rider will have an additional layer of protection, together with the protection of an equestrian helmet.

 

Where can I buy an equestrian safety vest?

 

You can buy your inflatable equestrian safety vests through sanctioned dealers like Solea Equestrian. However, we highly recommend that you purchase your equestrian safety vest through a reputable retailer. Otherwise, it’s buyer beware if you buy your safety vest through sites like Amazon, Craigslist, or other third-party sites. We believe that for the type of product, you need to ensure that it is correctly handled, stored, and provides you with the correct CO2 cartridges meant for the airbags.

 Do protective riding vests work?

 

There is no guarantee of injury during a fall or accident. Very much like a car accident, there is no guarantee of no injury even if you wear a seatbelt and the airbags deploy. However, the chances are higher that wearing a seatbelt and having airbags can offer significant protection. Wearing a seat belt, for example, could mean the difference between life and death.

Wearing any level of protective gear is undoubtedly better than none at all. A properly fitted equestrian helmet and a safety vest can help to reduce the likelihood of serious injury.

The Helite Airbag Safety Vest is an excellent safety product that adds to a higher level of protection. Additionally, you may wear your inflatable safety vest above a traditional hard protective vest.

The design of the Helite vest – complete with durable construction – serves to protect the horse rider while providing maximum maneuverability.
