This vest is designed for comfort and freedom of movement while riding, providing shock buffering, supporting protection upon inflation. Hit air vests are also renowned for being outward inflating which removes the risk of winding on inflation. The unique airbag construction exceeds the required CE Certification standards as the airbag is sandwiched between shock-absorbing pads for enhanced reinforced shock absorption.
