In equestrian sports, protection is paramount. Enter the equestrian airbag vest: a modern marvel of technology designed to drastically reduce the risk of injuries in the event of a fall from your horse.

The airbag cushions vital areas of the body to protect them in the event of a fall. The best airbag vests are designed for comfort and freedom of movement, allowing riders unrestricted movement while ensuring optimal airflow, especially when riding and competing on hot summers days.
