Helite – Airbag safety for horse riding

Innovation and protection “Made in France”

Helite is a French brand founded in 2002 in Dijon by Gérard Thévenot , a mechanical engineer and pioneer in personal safety. Specializing in fluid mechanics and passionate about ultralight flying, Thévenot created the first individual airbag system to protect athletes and motorcyclists from violent impacts.
From that vision was born a revolutionary technology that today protects riders, motorcyclists and athletes in over 50 countries.

Helite and horse riding

In the world of equestrianism, Helite has transferred all its experience to create high-protection airbag vests and jackets intended for riders of all levels.
The Helite airbag system is designed to reduce the risk of trauma to the back, chest, neck and pelvis in the event of a fall from a horse, offering immediate and complete protection.

Thanks to its patented mechanical technology , the airbag activates in less than 100 milliseconds : simply attach the strap to the saddle, and in the event of separation the system inflates automatically, without electronics or batteries.

Main features of Helite airbag vests

• Ultra-fast activation: inflation in <0.1 seconds for immediate protection.

• Extended coverage: Up to 28 liters of air to protect your chest, spine, neck and hips.

• Simple to use: reliable mechanical system, no need for electrical charging.

• Comfort and freedom of movement: ergonomic design and high-quality technical materials.

• Certified French manufacturing: each Helite vest is developed, tested and assembled in France.
