Hit-Air MLV3 Vest Navy

Season:Core

Brand:Hit-Air

Code:MLVCNVY

PLEASE NOTE THAT ALL BODY PROTECTORS AND RIDING HATS ARE NON-RETURNABLE. PLEASE CHECK THAT YOU HAVE ORDERED THE CORRECT SIZE BEFORE PLACING YOUR ORDER.

The Hit-Air MLV3 Vest represents the latest evolution in rider airbag safety, designed to deliver maximum protection without compromising comfort or mobility.

CE Certified to the new European Horse Riding Standard CE NF572-800 2022, the MLV3 has undergone rigorous testing in world-class safety centres. When the rider and horse become separated, the airbag deploys instantly, forming a stabilising, shock-buffering system that protects the chest, spine, ribs, neck, and lower back — the areas most at risk of serious injury.

Engineered for flexibility, the lightweight, adjustable design allows the vest to be comfortably worn over different layers, making it suitable for all disciplines and year-round use. The outward-inflating system ensures riders are not winded on deployment, offering superior safety and reassurance.

The innovative airbag construction exceeds CE requirements, with the airbag sandwiched between shock-absorbing pads for enhanced impact reduction. Designed with a neck brace style, rib coverage, and lower back protection, the MLV3 delivers optimal coverage for both training and competition.

Made from a durable, technical outer fabric proven to withstand the demands of equestrian activity and the forces of a fall, this vest is trusted worldwide by professional and leisure riders alike.

Hit-Air has over 30 years of expertise in wearable airbag technology, with hundreds of thousands of MLV vests sold globally.

Each MLV3 Vest includes everything you need to get started — air vest, lanyard, saddle strap, canister, and full instructions.
