FAQs
How often do I need to replace the CO2 canister?
The CO2 canister needs to be replaced immediately after the airbag has been deployed. It is also advisable to check the expiry date of the canister regularly and replace it if it has passed.
Can this air jacket be worn over a body protector?
The Young Rider VeloAir is designed to be worn over a show jacket or similar light attire. It is not intended to be worn over a traditional foam body protector, as this could impede proper inflation.
How do I know if I have the right size?
The jacket should fit snugly but comfortably over your show jacket. You should be able to move freely without restriction, and the adjustable waistband should allow for a tailored fit.
What does the NF S72-800:2022 certification mean?
This certification indicates that the airbag meets the latest European safety standards for equestrian airbags, ensuring a high level of protection and performance.
How do I clean the air jacket?
The outer material is water-repellent and wipe-clean. Use a damp cloth to clean any dirt or marks. Avoid using harsh chemicals or machine washing.
What happens after the airbag deploys?
After deployment, the CO2 canister is spent and must be replaced. The airbag system should then be re-armed with a new canister and lanyard, following the manufacturer's instructions.
Troubleshooting
Jacket fails to inflate
Check that the CO2 canister is correctly installed and fully tightened. Ensure the lanyard is securely attached to the saddle D-ring and the jacket's activation mechanism.
Zip is difficult to close
Ensure there is no fabric caught in the waterproof zip. Gently pull the fabric taut on either side of the zip and try again. Clean the zip if it appears dirty.
Fit feels uncomfortable or restrictive
Adjust the waistband using the internal toggles for a more personalized fit. Consider the layers worn underneath; the jacket is designed for a slim fit.
Material seems to be losing water-repellency
The water-repellent treatment may need to be reapplied. Consult the manufacturer's care guide for recommended products and methods.
