New Equestrian Eventing Light Weight Models
New Equestrian Eventing Models (LV, SV and SV2) specially designed for competition. This “harness type” airbag employs the new higher speed key ball mechanism (component that activates the CO2 cartridge).
This model is recommended to be worn with body protector.
All Hit-air apparels are designed to provide protection for the neck, back, chest and hip (tail bone). These models are especially light weight, cool and more comfortable than the competing brand. It is also much quieter when deployed than the competing brand, making it much less likely to spook the horse during an unintended deployment.
