Hit Air MLV-3 Jacket - Navy

Hit-Air MLV-3 Jacket: The Pinnacle of Equestrian Airbag Protection (Black)

For riders seeking the ultimate in equestrian safety gear, the Hit-Air MLV-3 Airbag Vest represents the cutting edge of protective technology. Designed to provide optimal rider protection without restricting movement, this premium airbag jacket is an essential investment for horse riding safety across all disciplines, from eventing to dressage and show jumping.

The MLV-3's patented outward inflation system is a game-changer, critically engineered to prevent "winding" upon deployment – a superior design that ensures smooth, efficient airbag activation. This advanced construction goes beyond standard requirements, integrating airbags between shock-absorbing pads for enhanced impact protection that exceeds CE Certification standards. Upon activation, the high-capacity airbag provides comprehensive body coverage, including innovative neck brace-style protection, robust rib airbags, and vital coverage for the chest, spine, and lower back. This ensures maximum injury reduction in the event of a fall.

Crafted from a durable, technical outer fabric, the MLV-3 jacket is built for all-season equestrian use, capable of withstanding the rigorous demands and extreme forces encountered during a fall. With over three decades as leaders in worn airbag technology for both equestrian and motorcycle industries, Hit-Air's commitment to rider safety equipment is unparalleled.

While no safety product can guarantee complete protection in every scenario, the Hit-Air MLV-3 airbag jacket is meticulously designed to significantly mitigate the risk of serious injuries to the areas it covers upon inflation. This CE Certified equestrian airbag vest (to the new European Horse Riding Standard CE NF S72-800 2022) offers the flexibility to be worn comfortably over various layers, making it a versatile safety solution for every rider.

Each Hit-Air MLV-3 includes a CO2 canister, a saddle strap, and an adjustable lanyard, ensuring you're ready to ride safely. For sustained peak performance, we recommend annual servicing by our specialist UK team.
