Spark "Spark 2" Air Bag Body Protector Vest

To guarantee even more safety to all riders, SPARK further improved their airbag vests. As a result of these upgrades, the "Spark 2" children's body protector is even more efficient: with its new triggering system, it now inflates in less than 250ms. The level of residual impact energy varies from 1,351N to 8,719N depending on vest size. According to CRITT standards, this measure should be under 18,000N to be approved, so the vest actually guarantees a Level 2 efficiency rate when inflated. Made of 600 Deniers nylon, it is strong and wear resistant. The handy saddle attachment is very easy to adjust and affix to the saddle. A third clip was added at the front for more support. Thanks to these modifications, SPARK developed a high performance children's airbag body protector at the lowest price on the market, while guaranteeing maximum safety to all riders in any discipline. The Spark 2 Airbag body protector gives the rider optimum protection in case of a fall. The vest is affixed to the saddle with a lanyard and inflates instantly when the horse and rider are separated. The Airbag vest is equipped with a replaceable gas cartridge and protects the entire upper body, from the neck to the tailbone, thanks to the air released into the inner bag when the cartridge is triggered. Once inflated, the vest absorbs shocks, the rider is cushioned when hitting the ground, and his or her head is held in place. The Spark 2 Airbag vest for children can be worn in any weather, on top of all other clothing for guaranteed efficiency. It features reflective piping for more visibility. On the comfort side, it is light, perfectly cut out around the arms for total freedom of movement, and features mesh bands for increased breathability.
