We the new Hit-Air Pro3 Air Vest because it offers the same great protection for the chest, neck, spine, lower back, rib cage, and vital organs and focuses on the tailbone. The vest comes with larger airbags and adjusted sizing. Their wide range of vests has an option for every rider and every discipline.
Developed and tested for over 10 years, Hit-Air has been the recipient of numerous awards including a Gold Medal at the World Exhibition of Inventions in Belgium in the Safety Protection Life Saving Division and the 2023 Chronicle of the Horse Readers' Choice Award. Hit-Air is the most tested air vests on the market. Tests have shown their vests and jackets reduce head acceleration by more than 50% and body acceleration by over 70%.
The Hit Air Pro 3 has larger airbags than the standard Hit-Air vest to give the same quality protection for all riders. The airbags deploy just as fast as the Hit-Air Original to keep you safe on your rides. The airbag is placed at the back of the key box to strengthen its shock buffering function. Additional padding is placed on either side of the chest and spine airbags for added strength and protection. The Pro 3 is CE NF S72-800:2022 certified.
This vest is popular with 3-day event riders and endurance riders. Also works well on riders with shorter torsos.
