Hunter Showjumper

Point Two Hunter Showjumper

The Hunter Showjumper offers the same level of protection and air bag coverage as our Pro Air vest, but with a zipper instead of buckles for a sleeker silhouette. This design was created based on feedback from riders who desired a more stylish vest while maintaining top-notch safety features.

The Hunter Showjumper comes with a pleated neck allowing for optimal inflation times and protection from neck and collarbone injury and an extended shirt tail to protect lower back, kidneys and coccyx.

When inflated, Point Two Air Vests have been designed to absorb shock, distribute pressure, and support the spinal column in the event of a fall. The air jacket offers further support to the collar of the neck, the ribs, the coccyx, the vital organs and even helps to guard against crushing injuries in the event of a rotational fall.

 Our air vests are fitted with one singular air bag which is why our air jackets inflate faster than others on the market. There are no narrow passages to choke the Co2 dispersion, or chambers that can fold over on each other when a bend in the body occurs.

 Impact testing conducted by TRL (Transport Research Laboratory) try to recreate a test where there would be potentially fatal impact to the chest. The Point Two air jacket reduced levels of chest compression seen in severe chest impact by more than 55% of those seen in an unprotected fall.  In an equivalent impact, a Level 3 body protector shows only a 9% improvement on chest compression measures compared to no protective clothing. 

 Did you know that after road accidents, paramedics attend more equestrian related accidents than any other type? The most common site of injuries recorded was the chest at 37% and approximately 70% of accidents occur whilst out hacking or schooling than in competition. 

We recommend using a Hunter Showjumper Air Jacket if you ride a Western saddle. Our Hunter Showjumper jacket does not require you to wear a body protector, it provides you with full protection on its own.

The newest features of our airbag trigger system include:

• Simplified canister connecting system. A bayonet style connector makes it easier and faster to change your canister and reduces the risk of improper installation.

• Simplified way to secure the trigger system end cap. This comes with an allen key that is stored right on the trigger system to help tighten it.

• Vests now have a foam pad behind the trigger for an even, comfortable fit.

• New pleated neck for better inflation action. (Pro Air & Hunter-Showjumper only)

• New neoprene collar for additional comfort. (Pro Air & Hunter-Show-jumper only)

• 20% faster inflation rate - Point Two Air Vests now inflate between 60 and 80 milliseconds. Faster inflation means faster protection from impact.

• Lifetime warranty on the airbag component (subject to annual service)

• Each air vest comes with a saddle attachment & bungee lanyard and Co2 canister.  It is important that you make regular checks for wear & tear on your lanyard and replace your lanyard every 2 years  dependent on volume of use.

• Meets all high-level safety standards - EN 13158: 2009 and SATRA M38

Our vests have tested to be as effective as a typical body protector. 

We recommend that have your jacket serviced yearly or after 6 inflations, after a heavy fall or submersion in water.
