Question
Pam –
Can you wear this if you have a broken sternum. If it inflated will it rebreak your sternum if it’s not fully healed yet

Amit Ramani –
Hi Pam
We inquired with the manufacturer for your question, since we wanted to provide the best available answer. Here is the their response:
“This is a question that the customer has to ask their doctor. We do not know how strong is the sternum. If the rider falls from the horse on their chest, the sternum will be safer WITH the airbag than without.
If the customer makes the choice to purchase an airbag vest, we advise to go up size.”
We hope this helps address your concerns. Please feel free to reach out to us for any other questions/concerns.

I love the vest! So comfortable I keep forgetting I’m wearing it. Until I jump off and then I remember! I will be buying a lot of replacement cartridges for sure, but worth it!

Hi Cheryl
The vest is standalone, no cover is required. The cover is optional and can be purchased separately. We have several covers for sale. Hope that helps!

I was skeptical about this vest. Having worn this for a few weeks, I can recommend it whole-heartedly! The fit is great and it is much lighter and minimal than all the other vests on the market (I did my research). I am glad I bought it. It has already deployed 2 times and both times, I was saved from what could have been major injuries.
This airbag vest is well worth it!
P.S. Just be sure to order extra cartridges, you will need them!

Excellent airbag vest! It is much lighter than I expected. It is not bulky at all. It has deployed a few times. Make sure you buy extra cartridges.

This vest is so comfortable I forget that I am wearing it while I’m riding. It gives me peace of mind that I won’t be injured as badly if I fall off. I followed the size chart and the fit was perfect for my measurements. Also, the shipping was so fast and the customer service was superb!
