Main features

• Back protector with integrated airbag: eight times more protection than a protector alone, according to Freejump data.
• Military-grade Cordura exterior, 3D Mesh interior, and two technical foams.
• Certified NF S72-800-2022, EN 13158 level 3, and BETA 2018 level 3.

Assembled in France in Freejump’s workshops. The airbag goes inside the protector, and that is the difference: it distributes the impact optimally with a single garment that is 20% lighter than wearing a protector and airbag separately.

Two protections in one garment

The X'Air Safe is not an airbag worn over a protector: it is a back protector with the airbag integrated inside. According to Freejump's data, this combination offers eight times more protection than a protector alone and four times more than a protector with an airbag on top, because the internal airbag distributes the impact optimally.

And it weighs less: 20% less than the sum of a cross-country protector and an airbag. The canister is half the size of a conventional airbag vest canister.

Materials

• Military-grade Cordura exterior, with maximum resistance to abrasion, tearing, and UV rays.
• 3D Mesh interior, which provides comfort and breathability.
• Two technical foams in the lining: a dense outer layer that distributes the impact and an inner rubber layer—the same used in bulletproof vests—that absorbs the shock.
• Laser-cut inserts and foams and automated compartment assembly for 100% repeatability.
• Elastic side bands for a precise fit.

Freejump airbag technology

It features an ultra-fast gas generator and a patented safety lanyard. The full inflation speed is 89 meters per second for size M, ensuring reliable operation regardless of the horse's height. It is assembled in France in Freejump’s workshops.

Easy rearming: the generator is the most powerful on the market while also being the smallest and lightest. The cap has a guide when unscrewing and cannot be lost when screwing it back on. The ball retention clip allows the lanyard to be changed easily and safely.

Certifications

• NF S72-800-2022 — French reference standard for airbags.
• EN 13158, level 3 — European certification for back protectors, at its highest level.
• BETA 2018, level 3 — British certification, also at level 3.

Canisters: which one corresponds to each size

It is essential to use only new X'Air Safe canisters of the same volume as the one provided with the garment.

Warranty

By registering the X'Air Safe on the Freejump website, you get a two-year extension, for a total of four years of warranty against manufacturing defects in the airbag system, including a free safety check within the first two years after purchasing the protector.

Size guide

Range available for this model: Children S, Children M, Children L, XXS, XS, XST, S, ST, M, MT, L, LT, XL. Freejump sizes the X'Air Safe based on four rider body measurements (chest, waist, shoulder height, and waist-to-shoulder distance). Here is their official chart:

How to take each measurement, according to Freejump:

• A · Chest: maximum horizontal perimeter, standing and breathing normally, passing the tape measure under the shoulder blades, under the armpits, and across the chest.
• B · Waist: maximum horizontal perimeter, standing and breathing normally, passing the tape measure over the navel.
• C · Shoulder height: from the navel, passing over the shoulder, to the same point on the back.
• D · Waist to shoulder: along the back, from the waistline to the shoulder line.

The T in the sizes XST, ST, MT, and LT indicates the long version: same circumference, more back height. They are designed for tall people.

Minimum user weight, indicated by Freejump: 25 kg for children's sizes and 35 kg from XXS upwards. From size XXS, the X'Air Safe is suitable for people 1.45 m tall or more.
