Airbag vest for children Crystal

Adorned with crystals at the front, the AIRBAG FREEJUMP CRYSTAL is a protective vest specially designed for horse riding to protect the vital areas of the rider in the event of a fall. It can be worn over a thin layer of clothing (t-shirt, sweatshirt, or light jumper) or over a jacket.

France is the first country to adopt a standard governing the manufacture of riding airbags as Personal Protective Equipment (PPE). While awaiting European harmonisation, the NF S72-800-2022 standard ensures increased protection by defining strict criteria for the protective surface, inflation speed, and impact tests.

The AIRBAG FREEJUMP CRYSTAL is the first airbag vest designed for riding to be certified according to this standard, achieving the required pressure and full inflation for optimal protection in just 98 milliseconds (for size S), thus exceeding the standard's requirements. In addition to meeting safety requirements, the AIRBAG FREEJUMP CRYSTAL stands out for its ability to withstand horizontal impacts while providing exceptional protection against longitudinal impacts to the spine.

Optimised protection zone.

The AIRBAG FREEJUMP CRYSTAL provides optimised protection for the cervical area, back, lumbar region, sacrum, pelvis, and thorax. It takes into account the wearing of a certified riding hat and incorporates a stabilising neck brace to protect the spine and vital areas.

The protection for the nape, thorax, and back is tailored to each size, ensuring coverage of 24% of the chest circumference and 100% of the waist-shoulder length for the thorax, and 20% of the chest circumference and 120% of the waist-shoulder length for the back.

A lateral protection ensures perfect alignment of the torso, while the spine, pelvis, hips, and vital organs benefit from reinforced protection thanks to two bust heights for sizes XS, S, M, and L, available in regular or long versions.

Comfort and performance.

The AIRBAG FREEJUMP CRYSTAL is designed with silky, perforated Italian fabrics at the sides, offering exceptional comfort and ventilation. Its fitted cut and design with soft materials ensure optimal protection and maximum comfort. The crystals on the chest add elegance and distinction.

The safety cord is equipped with a textile buckle to avoid noise nuisances when in contact with the trigger snap of the ball cord.

Compatibility.

The AIRBAG FREEJUMP vest is designed to be worn both over and under a compatible jacket. The NF S-72-800-2022 standard requires an official compatibility test from CRITT for all jackets worn over an airbag. The AIRBAG FREEJUMP vest has been tested by CRITT, ensuring its compliance and safety.

While awaiting a potential evolution of the standard during its European harmonisation, FREEJUMP assures that all jackets compatible with airbags from other brands and certified NF S72-800-2022 are also compatible with the AIRBAG FREEJUMP and PÉNÉLOPE vest.

The proper functioning of the AIRBAG FREEJUMP is guaranteed regardless of the compatible jacket used, as long as the cord comes out from underneath the jacket (and not through the jacket via a hole intended for this purpose).

To ensure maximum protection and optimal comfort for riders, the FREEJUMP clothing range, including the MONA and MAX competition jackets, KLOE and KARL gilets, MADDY and MATT rain jackets, and the MALLORY hoodie, has been specially designed to be compatible with the AIRBAG FREEJUMP vest when worn underneath. These garments use durable and stretchy fabrics, allowing the vest to regain its original shape after inflation.

The AIRBAG FREEJUMP vest is also compatible with models developed by many other equestrian textile brands including: PIKEUR, VESTRUM, PÉNÉLOPE, KERRITS, JUMP'IN, STRUCK, SCHOCKEMOHLE, EAST, TOMMY HILFIGER, VISION APPAREL, GEM, and CAVALLO.

Sizes and personalised fitting.

The AIRBAG FREEJUMP CRYSTAL is available in children’s sizes S and L and in adult sizes ranging from XXS to XXL, with two options for sizes ranging from XS to L: regular or long (indicated as "T" in the size) to provide a perfect fit, even for taller individuals. For example, size XS in the long version is called XST.
