Air vests

[Rachael42]

Are air vests worth the £395? I’m looking at buying one but don’t have a high budget so thats really expensive! Has anyone bought similar for cheaper and found them as safe?

Worth every penny, but you can get them cheaper second hand and have them serviced, when they come back like new.

I wear mine every time I ride except when my trainer or a dressage judge needs to see how I'm riding.

I credit mine with saving many bruises and probably several serious injuries. I've owned one since they first came on the market.

Quite simply, you don't crash into the floor or an obstacle, you bounce. It even makes me laugh to fall off, before I wince that it's just cost me a £20 gas bottle ?

Wouldn't be without mine

Worth every penny.

I wear mine every time I ride and needed it in today’s lesson for the first time in about 2 years.

My daughter and I both wear ours every time we ride. I find it helps my confidence. Ours are Hit Airs and we don’t notice we’re wearing them

 

[Becc]

Absolutely worth the money. I wear my Hit Air every time I ride and like others say, it’s saved me a few times from what could have been nasty injuries.

I have helites, and far too many empty cannisters. ??

They are recyclable with cans?

Have a look on eBay for 2nd hand then get serviced as others have said

Point Two do refurbished ProAir for £285, the outer shell is professionally cleaned but the airbag etc is new. Comes with 2 cannisters, lanyard, saddle attachment and guarantee. Just bought one and it arrives tomorrow, bringing a youngster into work and starting to hack and jump her at that price I would be kicking myself if I didn't, oh the interest free credit helped made it a no brainer!
