The AIRBAG FREEJUMP vest is the first airbag vest made for horseback riding to have been approved by the NF S72- 800-202 standard.
France is the first country to adopt a standard governing the manufacture of equestrian airbags (PPE – Personal Protective Equipment). While waiting for a European harmonization, the NF S72-800-2022 standard provides riders with increased protection by regulating the protective surface, the speed of the inflation and by imposing much more severe impact tests on the vests.
The Freejump Airbag is the result of our taste for innovation, and our concern for the performance, comfort and safety of riders. Horseback riding is a dangerous sport, whether it is recreational or high level.Martin Fuchs has been leading the way since July 2019 (CHIO Aachen) using the Freejump Airbag and the Oscar & Gabrielle compatible jackets.
The Airbag Freejump is a protective vest made for horse riding and is worn close to the body, over a thin layer of clothing (T-shirt, sweater or thin pullover …). It allows to protect the vital zones of the rider.
Compatible jackets bear the “Freejump Airbag Technology” badge.
Oscar & Gabrielle offers a range of compatible jackets.
