BHOOF SAFETY VEST - WOMEN

The Bhoof safety vest is equipped with a safety line that attaches to the included connector. The connector is fastened to the saddle and activates the vest’s gas cartridge in case of a fall, which rapidly inflates the vest. The airbag vest protects the upper body, back, neck, spine, and chest. The ends of the connector should be attached under the stirrup leathers to the stirrup bar on each side of the saddle. The length of the connector should roughly match the height of the saddle’s pommel and be centered. The vest’s safety line, which attaches to the connector, should be slightly taut when you stand up in the stirrups, without being fully stretched. 

Use the airbag vest as your outer layer for daily protection. It can be worn under a jacket, provided the jacket contains at least 15% elastane to allow proper inflation of the vest. The vest comes with a CO2 gas cartridge, a reset key, connector, and safety lanyard. Once used, the gas cartridge can easily be replaced with a new one of the same size. One gas cartridge is included with the vest. 

To reset the vest after a fall, see the instructional video below. If it needs to be used immediately after a fall, it can be laid on a flat surface so the air can be gently pushed out toward the cartridge attachment point. To prevent damage to the vest’s air channels, it should not be folded or rolled. If the vest is not to be used immediately after a fall, it is recommended to hang it on a hanger – in that case, the air will automatically release within 5–10 minutes.

The Bhoof Safety Vest complies with the NF S72-800:2022 standard for riding airbags and holds the CE certification from the ALIENOR CERTIFICATION laboratory, assuring optimal safety and quality. Suitable for riders who weigh at least 25 kg.

What's the difference between the Bhoof Airbag Vest WMN and the original model? The WMN is specifically developed with the female body's proportions in mind. The vest offers more room across the bust, a more defined waist, and more room over the hips. 

Why did you create a specific women's model? An airbag vest needs to fit close to the body to function as intended. That's why we developed the WMN with a construction and fit tailored for women. 

Is the WMN airbag vest just a smaller version of the original airbag vest? No. The WMN has its own construction and is not simply a resized version of the original model. The fit is developed with a focus on female body proportions. 

How is the fit adapted for women? The construction provides room for the bust and hips, and is tapered at the waist. 

Is the material different in the WMN airbag vest? The material is chosen with both function and look in mind. The airbag function requires a material with high stretch so the vest can expand and give room for movement when performing. At the same time, we've chosen a material with a finish that gives the WMN a feminine, tailored look. 

Is the WMN airbag vest just as functional as the original model? Yes. The WMN is developed with the same focus on function, safety, and freedom of movement. The difference lies mainly in construction, fit, and the material's visual expression. 

Why is a good fit especially important for an airbag vest? For the airbag vest to provide its intended function, it needs to fit correctly and close to the body. 

Can I choose WMN airbag vest even if I usually wear the original model? Absolutely. The most important thing is choosing the model and size that gives you a correct and comfortable fit. The WMN airbag vest is specifically developed for female body proportions, while the original model has a straight fit.
