Spark SPARK Racecourse Airbag Vest

Enjoy a high level of protection with the SPARK Racecourse Airbag Vest, specially developed for flat racing riders, jockeys and professionals working on the racecourse. Lightweight, ergonomic and discreet, this airbag vest delivers effective protection without restricting the freedom of movement essential for peak performance.

Thanks to its mechanical tether activation system, the vest inflates within a fraction of a second in the event of a fall, providing immediate protection to the vital areas of the upper body. Once deployed, it absorbs a significant amount of impact energy and helps reduce the risk of injuries to the chest, back, neck and spine.

The anatomical design follows the rider's movements perfectly. Made from 100% polyester with a TPU (thermoplastic polyurethane) membrane, the vest combines lightweight comfort, durability and breathability for outstanding performance, even during intensive use. Its lightweight construction and close-fitting cut make it exceptionally comfortable to wear during both training sessions and competitions.

The SPARK Racecourse Airbag Vest is designed for use with the SPARK Racecourse Attachment Strap, ensuring reliable operation and optimal activation of the safety system. After each deployment, the CO₂ cartridge can be replaced quickly and easily, allowing the vest to be ready for use again in no time.

The vest is CE certified as Personal Protective Equipment (PPE). It has been certified by the independent laboratory ALIENOR CERTIFICATION and CE certified à dire d'expert by CRITT Sport Loisirs in accordance with NF S72-800:2022, complying with Regulation (EU) 2016/425. Once inflated, it provides Level 2 protection, ensuring a high level of rider safety.

For Eventing (CCI/CCE), the SPARK Racecourse Airbag Vest may only be worn in official competitions in combination with a body protector that complies with CE EN 13158:2018 BETA Level 3. Riders should always check the applicable local competition regulations before use.
