Dear Hit-Air team,
Yesterday I unexpectedly found myself in the situation of having to try out your vest in practice, and I am more than impressed.
Several tractors spooked my horse, and while bucking and spinning I fell off. The vest deployed, and I landed so softly on my back that I hardly noticed the fall at all. Without this vest, I probably would have had to endure weeks of painful bruising again, but this time I didn’t suffer any injuries at all.
Many thanks for this great vest that provides perfect protection and is also comfortable to wear, without making me sweat or feel constricted.
I will definitely recommend the Hit-Air.
Best regards from Hamburg,
Annett H.

Super fast delivery. Ordered right after the last accident and now ready to use for the first time after recovery.
Good fit (large size) and also comfortable to wear.
Now I have a feeling of safety and can go riding out again without worries, hoping never to actually need the vest.
Thank you!
If it is actually used, I will write an extra report. I promise.

I've been wearing an airbag waistcoat from Hit Air for many years and I just have to give it a big thumbs up.
They are really comfortable to wear because they are so light and airy, I quickly got used to wearing them all the time.
After a fall in the terrain, where the waistcoat had been triggered, I was able to get up immediately and collect my horse, which had left the field.
It is a pleasant feeling to be surrounded by the airbag when you fall. I have not suffered any injuries as a result.
I had also contacted them because I had lost part of the connection cable, and a day later I had a free replacement in the post.
Sending it in for checking was also quick and uncomplicated.
I am still very happy with this investment!

Great vest — unfortunately, it has already had to do its job twice, but each time it protected me from more serious injuries. Many thanks to the developers of this vest.
Every detail has been thought of here.
Above all, the service is excellent as well. The vest is flawlessly restored after deployment.

I ordered this vest last week after thinking for a long time about whether it was necessary or not, and fortunately I decided in favor of it. Because even though my Icelandic horse is a reliable trail horse, yesterday at dusk a dog suddenly jumped out of the bushes, causing a fall. Since I was in a light seat, I did a somersault off the horse at full gallop. My helmet cracked, but thanks to the airbag vest I didn’t get a single scratch on my body. Many thanks to the developers of this great vest — I will never get on a horse without it again.

Today I would also like to express my enthusiasm:
After a very serious riding accident, I was unable to get back on my pony for 2 years. By chance, I heard about the HIT-AIR airbag waistcoat for riders. I bought it because I saw it as a way of finally getting over myself and fulfilling my heart's desire to ride again! With the help of the waistcoat, I was able to enjoy beautiful cross-country rides with my pony again.
A certain residual uncertainty remained, as I didn't know what it would be like in the event of a serious fall.
The other day we were out with our ponies at the edge of the forest. Suddenly several ducks flew up from a small pond. My pony was naturally very frightened and made a huge leap at right angles so that I flew down in a high arc. And it only made a soft "Pfffftt" and I rolled on the ground next to my pony like in an exercise ball. I didn't hurt myself at all, but I laughed a lot. My girlfriend's heart stopped, because she knew the whole drama of my long-lasting fears and thought it was all going to start all over again. I had to reassure HER!!! :o)
It's good that this happened to me! Now I feel really safe and can tackle my next goal full of confidence: riding out on my own!
I can only warmly recommend the HIT-AIR waistcoat to every rider. It is worth every cent!
I would also like to mention that I received incredibly friendly and courteous service on the phone and that a "little problem" with the replacement cartridge was promptly resolved!
Best regards,
Monika H.

Hello to the Hit-Air Westen team,
As I've already had a serious riding accident, my husband gave me this waistcoat as a present for my young horse. My pony is actually super well-behaved, but unfortunately I've now sailed off my pony twice in the space of 6 weeks - he's probably just in his teenage years... BOTH TIMES I was wearing my airbag waistcoat - as always - and BOTH TIMES absolutely nothing happened to me!!! It pops briefly and you roll off the horse so nicely, it's fantastic!
This waistcoat is not cheap, but my health is priceless. That's why I've often recommended it to other riders, because even if you don't need it, it simply gives me more security because I know that much less can happen to me if things do get dicey ... so a clear recommendation from me!
Yours sincerely,
Susanne Wittenzellner

In spring 2022 I had a serious riding accident out in the countryside — one cervical vertebra, four thoracic vertebrae, and my ankle were fractured. During further examinations it was also discovered that I suffer from advanced osteoporosis. Of course, these are not the best conditions for riding. But for me it was clear that I did not want to give up the sport. That’s why at Equitana 2023 in Essen I bought the HIT-AIR vest. Many thanks at this point for the great advice. Last Monday my horse bolted from the riding arena and bucked me off high into the air, throwing me onto hard ground. According to the people present, I must have hit the ground very hard. Unfortunately, I have no memory of the accident. I was transported to the hospital by ambulance and slowly began to regain consciousness during the ride. The vest worked perfectly and I sustained no injuries (apart from a mild concussion). I am so glad I bought this vest. It is very comfortable to wear, and now I also know that it reliably protects me in a riding accident. I don’t even want to imagine what would have happened to me without it.

On Saturday, I fell off my horse, which suddenly bucked for some unknown reason. Fortunately, I was wearing my airbag waistcoat and a riding helmet.
The emergency doctor was very pleased that the protective equipment was of such high quality, as he said it would have "saved my neck". I am glad that I decided to buy the waistcoat and will be ordering it again as mine unfortunately had to be cut open by the emergency team and therefore cannot be reactivated.

Crash at a gallop - and the Hit-Air waistcoat saved me
On Monday, I was cantering with my mare on the oval track when she suddenly wanted to turn right - into a path that was cordoned off with a tape. At the last moment, my horse braked hard on the bend and I fell off my horse at high speed, spun in the air and landed on my back on a mixture of sand and gravel.
Thanks to my Hit-Air waistcoat (Cross-Air), I was completely uninjured. No bruising, no concussion - although my back, spine or head could have been seriously injured in this fall. The waistcoat deployed in milliseconds, separated cleanly from the saddle and was already inflated when I hit the ground. It felt like I was falling onto a pillow.
Despite the impact, I was able to stand up again immediately. The gas volume was perfectly balanced: firm and protective, but not restrictive - I could breathe normally. The air slowly deflated afterwards and I was simply relieved and impressed.
I am incredibly grateful that I wore the waistcoat! Without it, this fall could have had a very different outcome. One thing is certain for me: this investment is worth it!
