Designed to provide optimal protection for young riders in the event of a fall, the SPARK Manège Airbag Vest is the epitome of subtle elegance combined with the innovative protection of a safety gear.

Recommended for junior riders on ponies of at least 1.20 m (≈ 3 ft 11 in) tall, the child model is designed for a minimum weight of 30 kg (≈ 66 lbs).

Easily attached to the stirrup leathers of the saddle with a strap, the SPARK Manège Airbag Vest inflates instantly when the rider becomes unseated from the horse.

Its activation time of just 240 ms ensures rapid and effective protection.

Equipped with a replaceable gas cartridge, the SPARK Manège Airbag Vest protects the entire upper body, from the neck to the lower back, thanks to the air released into its internal membrane upon activation.

It also provides neck protection thanks to its sufficient shoulder height once inflated.

In the event of a fall, the vest absorbs shocks and keeps the head in place to reduce the risk of injury.

The SPARK Manège Airbag Vest is distinguished by the following features:

Comfort and convenience:

  • Lightweight and breathable, the SPARK Manège Airbag Vest can be worn in temperatures ranging from 0°C (32°F) to 45°C (113°F).
  • Its innovative design includes a discreet inner pocket for storing the attachment strap and a front zipper for quick donning.
  • Thanks to its 600 denier polyester fabric, it is wear-resistant yet flexible to provide total freedom of movement. Its arm cuts ensure optimal comfort and enhanced breathability.

Technical features:

  • Sold complete with saddle attachment link and a SPARK CO² cartridge suited to the vest size.
    • 33 g for child sizes XXS and XS: Do not use with children weighing less than 30 kg to ensure optimal protection.
    • 38 g for adult sizes S and M
    • 45 g for adult sizes L and XL
