The FREEJUMP AIRBAG is a protective vest specially designed for equestrian sports, safeguarding vital areas of the rider in case of a fall. It can be worn over a thin layer of clothing (t-shirt, sweatshirt, or light sweater) or over a jacket.
France is the first country to adopt a regulation governing the manufacture of equestrian airbags as Personal Protective Equipment (PPE). Pending European harmonization, the NF S72-800-2022 standard ensures reinforced protection by defining strict criteria for protection surface, inflation speed, and impact tests.
The FREEJUMP AIRBAG is the first equestrian airbag vest certified under this standard, reaching the required pressure and full inflation for optimal protection in just 98 milliseconds (size S), exceeding the standard’s requirements. In addition to meeting safety standards, the FREEJUMP AIRBAG stands out for its ability to withstand horizontal impacts while providing exceptional protection against longitudinal impacts along the spine.
Optimized protection zone.
The FREEJUMP AIRBAG offers optimized protection for the neck, back, lumbar region, sacrum, pelvis, and chest. Consider using a certified equestrian helmet and incorporating a stabilizing collar to protect the spine and vital areas.
Neck, chest, and back protection adapts to each size, ensuring coverage of 24% of chest circumference and 100% of waist-to-shoulder length for the chest, and 20% of chest circumference and 120% of waist-to-shoulder length for the back.
Lateral protection ensures perfect torso alignment, while the spine, pelvis, hips, and vital organs receive enhanced protection through two torso heights for sizes XS, S, M, and L, available in regular or long versions.
Comfort and performance.
The FREEJUMP AIRBAG is crafted from silky Italian fabrics with perforated sides, offering exceptional comfort and ventilation. Its fitted cut and flexible materials guarantee optimal protection and maximum comfort.
The safety cord is equipped with a textile loop to prevent noise when in contact with the ball cord carabiner.
Compatibility.
The FREEJUMP AIRBAG vest is designed to be worn both over and under a compatible jacket. The NF S72-800-2022 standard requires official compatibility testing by CRITT for all jackets worn over an airbag. The FREEJUMP AIRBAG vest has been tested by CRITT, ensuring compliance and safety.
Pending a possible update of the standard during European harmonization, FREEJUMP guarantees that all jackets certified under NF S72-800-2022 and compatible with airbags from other brands are also compatible with FREEJUMP and PÉNÉLOPE AIRBAG vests.
Proper functioning of the FREEJUMP AIRBAG is guaranteed with any compatible jacket, provided the cable exits from the bottom of the jacket (and not through a specifically designed hole).
