Hit-Air vests are designed to be super-light weight and flexible - for ultimate comfort and freedom of movement, while providing optimal protection on inflation. This one adds a level of style too.

The flexible VH Advantage has a slim silhouette, stretchy technical fabric and mesh sides for optimal breathability, comfort and flexibility while riding and provides superior shock buffering protection on inflation. Designed for use over show and hunt jackets for competition but robust enough for use hacking and schooling. In addition to reinforced chest and spinal airbags, this vest boasts the signature Hit Air neck protection, unique to all Hit Air vests. The mechanism and airbags are tested twice in the production process and are brought to you by Hit Air who have specialised in worn air technology for over 30 years. Annual servicing is recommended and is supported by a dedicated UK based service centre.

This vest is designed for comfort and freedom of movement while riding, providing shock buffering, supporting protection upon inflation. Hit air vests are also renowned for being outward inflating which removes the risk of winding on inflation. The unique airbag construction exceeds the required CE Certification standards as the airbag is sandwiched between shock-absorbing pads for enhanced reinforced shock absorption.

No protection can help riders in all circumstances but Hit Air vests are designed to reduce the risk of serious injuries to the areas covered on inflation.
