At Point Two Equine, we’re passionate about innovation and rider safety. Our Airvest technology is a game-changer in the world of equestrian sports, designed to protect you while you ride without compromising comfort or performance.
But what exactly is Airvest technology, and how does it work? Let’s take a closer look.
What is Airvest Technology?
Our Airvest is an inflatable protective vest designed to offer enhanced safety in case of a fall or sudden impact. The technology uses a CO2 canister, which, when triggered by a sensor, inflates the vest within milliseconds to provide protection to the neck, spine, and ribcage. The vest is lightweight, comfortable, and unobtrusive, allowing riders to move freely while still being fully protected.
How Does It Work?
The heart of our Airvest technology lies in its rapid inflation system. Here's a step-by-step breakdown:
- Pre-ride setup: Before you start riding, the vest is fitted and adjusted for your comfort.
- Continuous monitoring:The vest is activated when the rider falls causing the lanyard—securely attached to both the vest and the saddle—to detach. This triggers the release mechanism, puncturing a CO₂ canister that rapidly inflates the vest in milliseconds. The inflation cushions the rider’s torso, providing crucial protection to the neck, spine, ribs, and vital organs before impact.
- Post-inflation: Once inflated, the vest absorbs and disperses the force of the impact, reducing the risk of injury to vital areas like the neck, spine, and ribcage. Afterward, the Airvest can be deflated and reused by replacing the CO2 canister.
