Point 2 Pro Air Child

Pro Air Child has all of the same quality and safety features as the Adult Pro Air, just smaller. Built exactly like the Pro Air for adults in durability and lightweight features, the Pro Air Child will protect children so they can keep riding until they are big enough for an adult sized Pro Air.  The Pro Air Child comes with adjustable straps to ensure proper fit and comfort as well as an extended shirt tail to protect lower back, kidneys and coccyx.   When inflated, Point Two Air Vests have been designed to absorb shock, distribute pressure, and support the spinal column in the event of a fall. The air jacket offers further support to the collar of the neck, the ribs, the coccyx, the vital organs and even helps to guard against crushing injuries in the event of a rotational fall.  Our air vests are fitted with one singular air bag which is why our air jackets inflate faster than others on the market. There are no narrow passages to choke the Co2 dispersion, or chambers that can fold over on each other when a bend in the body occurs.  Impact testing conducted by TRL (Transport Research Laboratory) try to recreate a test where there would be potentially fatal impact to the chest. The Point Two air jacket reduced levels of chest compression seen in severe chest impact by more than 55% of those seen in an unprotected fall.  In an equivalent impact, a Level 3 body protector shows only a 9% improvement on chest compression measures compared to no protective clothing.   Did you know that after road accidents, paramedics attend more equestrian related accidents than any other type? The most common site of injuries recorded was the chest at 37% and approximately 70% of accidents occur whilst out hacking or schooling than in competition.  When used in conjunction with a BETA level 3 body protector the Pro Air improves spinal protection by up to 69% additionally the Pro Air provides approximately 45% more lower spine protection than a BETA level 3 body protector when worn alone.  With or without a BETA level 3 body protector underneath there is a reduced risk of rib fractures and underlying organ damage by as much as 20%.  We recommend that have your jacket serviced yearly, or after 6 inflations, or a heavy fall or submersion in water.
