I know this has probably been done before but does anyone have one of these and what are they like?
Do you have the gilet or boulson and what do they look like on if you're stick thin?
Thanks
 
If you mean the Helite air jacket I have the gilet and the jacket. Love them. Very neat and tidy. The jacket I use for sj and the gilet for jumping at home and also it fits over my Xc body protector, so very versatile. Most people don't even realise I have a air jacket on unless they spot the lanyard. I'm on the slim side. I'll see if I can find a photo is you wish.
 
Thank you. I'm more tempted by this than the usual ones seen. I'm unlikely to do much xc now so can afford not to have to allow bp room underneath.
I'm only a size 12 so not massive!
Have you ever 'fired' yours?
 
Unfortunately yes! Not the jacket but the gilet has gone off about four times now. First time felt a bit uncomfortable but after that no problems at all.
Although I'm a 12 as well I've got the large size, mostly because I wanted the gilet to stretch over the BP but also I don't like tight fitting jackets. Think this jacket is slim fitting but not tight nor loose.

 
I tried the gilet at your horse live really liked it I'm a size 8 and small adult in normal air jacket, the gilet was lovely and felt stretchy but fitted nicely. My normal air jacket looks fine on it is after all just a practical piece of kit and meant to be a bit baggy but you can't really tell im wearing it
