Product Information

Full details

The Racesafe VeloAir is a lightweight, slimline equestrian air jacket designed for riders seeking discreet, reliable protection over their show jacket during training and competition. Its key benefit is rapid inflation in under 0.095 seconds, meeting the latest NF S72-800:2022 standard. A potential consideration is its slim fit, which is ideal for wearing over a show jacket but may require careful layering for broader use.

FAQs

What standard is the Racesafe VeloAir certified to?

The VeloAir is certified to the latest NF S72-800:2022 equestrian airbag standard.

How quickly does the VeloAir inflate?

The VeloAir inflates in under 0.095 seconds, providing very rapid protection.

Can I wear the VeloAir directly over a t-shirt?

While possible, the VeloAir is designed to be worn neatly over a show jacket for competition and training. Its slim fit is optimized for this purpose.

What is included with the VeloAir?

The jacket comes complete with an air canister, saddle strap, hex key, and a dedicated storage bag with a hanger.

How do I clean the VeloAir?

The outer material is water-repellent and can be wiped clean with a damp cloth. Avoid harsh detergents. Ensure the air canister is removed before cleaning.

How often do I need to replace the air canister?

The air canister needs to be replaced each time the airbag has been deployed. It is recommended to check the canister's expiry date as per manufacturer guidelines.

Is the VeloAir suitable for all weather conditions?

Yes, the water-repellent outer and breathable fabric make it suitable for various weather conditions during riding.

Troubleshooting

Jacket does not inflate when triggered.

Verify the air canister is correctly and securely installed. Check if the activation system has been properly armed according to the manual. Ensure the saddle strap is correctly attached and taut.

Air canister is difficult to screw in.

Ensure the threads are clean and free of debris. Do not force the canister; ensure it is aligned correctly before tightening. Consult the manual for the proper procedure.

Jacket feels too tight or restrictive.

Adjust the waistband using the integrated fasteners for a more comfortable fit. If wearing over very thick layers, consider if a larger size or different undergarment might be more suitable, keeping in mind the jacket's slim design.

Material appears to be damaged or worn.

Inspect the fabric and seams for any signs of tearing or wear. If damage is found, do not use the jacket and contact Racesafe customer support for inspection or repair options.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: The VeloAir comes with a canister, saddle strap, and hex key. To prepare for use, ensure the air canister is correctly screwed into the jacket.

Refer to the product manual for specific cleaning instructions and details on servicing the inflation system.
