The Point Two ProAir is a lightweight durable air vest, suitable for everything from hacking and schooling to eventing and polo. It inflates in the blink of an eye to protect the rider in the event of a fall.

How The Point Two ProAir Air Vest Works
The air jacket is inflated by a canister of C02, stored on the front of the jacket. When the rider separates from the saddle, the canister is activated by the release of a lanyard that is clipped from the jacket onto an attachment on the saddle. The air bags will inflate within one tenth of a second — roughly equivalent to the blink of an eye.
The Point Two ProAir Air Vest will hold the rider tight for 15-20 seconds and then slowly deflate over two to three minutes. While the jacket is inflated, the rider will continue to have full movement of their waist, arms and legs, and partial movement of their head.
Areas Of Protection
The Point Two ProAir Air Vest provides enhanced protection to all the major thoracic and upper abdominal organs, the spine and the collar of the neck. It also helps guard against crushing injuries in the event of a rotational fall.
Should It Be Worn With Or Without A Body Protector?
The safest way to wear the Point Two ProAir Air Vest is in conjunction with a conventional body protector. Some riders who use the ProAir at home or while hunting state they prefer to use it on its own, where they previously would have worn no safety equipment at all. But for UK competition, the Point Two ProAir Air Vest must be used with a BETA-approved Level 3 body protector — such as the Racesafe 2010, on which the ProAir P2-RS is built.
The Point Two ProAir is fully reusable, and requires servicing annually or after every six falls.
