CE-certified lightweight vest with adjustable side buckles to increase the fit of the vest. Spark air vest's technology has been used e.g. for motorcyclists. In the technology of the balaclava, the air ducts are filled with the help of a carbon dioxide cartridge.
When falling, the saddle strap pulls the key ball from its key case, and the vest fills with air. The vest can be "reloaded" up to 10 times, just by changing to a new cartridge. The vest is easy to attach to the saddle and remove.
In less than 0.25 seconds, you as a rider are protected from neck to tailbone. This reduces, for example, neck snap injuries and broken ribs, which in turn can cause internal damage. In order for the vest to fit as well as possible, it is important to be able to fit the fist on the waist and chest, so that the vest does not squeeze too much when it is released.
The cartridge is included in the price of the vest. When buying a new cartridge, we recommend buying Smart Riders own cartridges, as they are optimal for this bulletproof vest.
To attach the vest to the saddle, the rider attaches the strap of the SPARK Air vest to the saddle's stirrup hook, not the D-rings. The rider can quickly remove their bib from the saddle thanks to the one-click release feature.

You can use the table to check the correct size of the vest.
The vest should protect the back well. When adjusting the circumference, check that there is a space the size of a fist between the vest and the chest, because the vest expands when quickly filled with air. The vest empties itself.
