The VML01 by Vimele is an airbag vest developed specifically for equestrian sports. Vimele is the first Spanish brand to obtain CE certification for airbag vests for equestrian use.
Who is it for?
The VML01 is designed for riders weighing at least 30 kg and for riding horses that are 130 cm or taller at the withers, which are the minimum requirements specified by Vimele. The size is not chosen by chest circumference but by the rider's height and weight, according to the table in this data sheet.
Safety and approval
It is certified according to the NF S72-800:2022 standard, the specific European certification regulating inflatable protectors for equestrian sports, and it carries the CE marking. The certifying body is ALIENOR CERTIFICATION, in accordance with European Regulation 2016/425. Each size is certified individually.
Protection area
At the back, it protects from the sacrum to the cervical vertebrae, with wrap-around neck protection. At the front, it protects the chest with two large-diameter tubes.
How it fits
It has an internal Velcro belt and two additional fine adjustments at the front, so that it adapts to what you wear underneath depending on the time of year.
What is included
- The complete vest with its CO₂ bottle.
- Stirrup strap.
- Carabiner and attachment ring.

Frequently asked questions
How is it activated?
The vest is attached to the saddle by the strap and the carabiner. If you fall, the separation activates the CO₂ bottle and the vest inflates.
Does it need to be refilled after a deployment?
Yes. After each activation, the CO₂ bottle must be replaced. The vest comes with the tool kit to reset it yourself and with the manual.
What bottle does my size use?
Sizes XS and S use a 60 cc / 45 g bottle and sizes M and L, a 65 cc / 50 g one. It is advisable to check this before buying replacements.
Is it worn over or under clothing?
Over. The internal Velcro belt and the two front adjustments allow it to be adapted to the clothing you wear underneath.
Can it be used on ponies?
Vimele specifies a minimum horse height of 130 cm at the withers. It is not indicated for smaller horses or ponies.
