How do Point Two Air Jackets work? A Point Two Air Jacket will sit over a rider’s body protector and is clipped onto an attachment that sits over the pommel of the saddle. When a rider parts company from their horse, the force of the rider falling will remove the attachment from the air jacket and trigger the inflation. A Point 2 Air Jacket will inflate like a balloon, inflating both inwards and outwards to provide maximum protection. It is extremely important that Air Jackets inflate inwards in order to hold the body in the event of a fall.
At Chelford Farm Supplies, we’re a team that are passionate about ensuring riders are safe each and every time they are sat on a horse. Our team are expertly trained in providing riding hat, body protector and air jacket fittings, and among our extensive range you’ll find a vast selection of Point Two Air Jackets. When you visit us for your fitting, the team will demonstrate how the jacket inflates to prepare you for what to expect and feel when this happens.
The safety experts at Point Two have continuously worked over many years to develop new technologies to keep equestrians safe, which is demonstrated through the unique design of the Air Jacket system. The continuous, single air bag design means that there are no gaps in any protected areas, such as critical areas between the base of the beck and the top of the back. This innovative design also helps to increase the speed at which the jacket inflates.
Worn by riders who event, hunt, jump, hack and even professional jockeys, these air vests provide riders taking part in equestrian activities with the highest levels of safety. Refined to inflate faster and feel more comfortable than ever before, the Point Two range is so comfy and lightweight that you’ll forget you’re even wearing one.
Most commonly worn for cross country riding, a Point Two Air Jacket comes in a huge range of shades to perfectly match your XC colours. Whether pale blue, burgundy or bottle green is your hue of choice, you’ll be spoilt for choice with the rainbow of colours available. If bright colours aren’t your thing, then classic black or navy are staple choices which will complement any riding wear. For hacking, a hi viz air jacket is an ideal solution for staying safe and seen.
