The Zip-In kids air vest is designed specifically for smaller bodies and all riding disciplines. Helite airbags for young riders help not only protect them from injuries but to ensure their future in equestrian sports is preserved. The Zip In kids equestrian airbag protects the back, chest, hips, and vital organs, while also supporting the neck.
Helite equestrian air vests can be worn over top regular clothing or as an invisible lining with Helite-approved airbag-compatible apparel, like our H Collection by Lotus Romeo.
The Zip In kids air vest inflates in less than 100 ms, that is faster than you can blink and more importantly, faster than you can hit the ground. These air vests offer the largest inflation volumes of any airbag on the market, from between 14 and 28 L, depending on the size of the airbag.
This large inflation volume and fast speed ensures protection by absorbing the shock from impact and withstanding pressure from potential crush. Please note that the minimum weight to wear a Helite airbag is 55 lbs.
Additionally, Helite Zip In equestrian airbags cannot be worn under non-approved apparel. This will interfere with inflation and will not provide adequate protection.
