My wife is a Hit-Air frequent flyer. She starts horses, rides trails/endurance, and obstacle courses, so unscheduled dismounts are an expected thing. She’s had the vest pop more times than I care to count, and every single time she’s hopped right up, dusted herself off, inserted a new co2 and jumped back in the saddle in just a few minutes. She’s come off in arenas, trails, and on concrete. Worse injury was a scuffed elbow on the concrete. None of our horses have spooked from the sound of the Hit-Air vest inflating (I’ve heard about other brands being so loud they scare the horse). These vests are truly amazing, and a huge comfort thing for me. We’ve even bought vests for friends, and special needs kids that ride, that’s how much we love and trust Hit-Air.
