This Point Two Hybrid is a combination of the Point Two Pro-Air Jacket and the World’s leading Jockey Vest from Hows RaceSafe and is able to offer the rider the very best of both products, by combining them into one easy to use, lightweight and comfortable equestrian Jockey Jacket. It offers instant protection, once activated it is fully inflated in 0.1 of a second, offering all the combined protection of the Hows RaceSafe Jockey Vest and the Point Two ProAir Jacket.

The rider simply slips on the jacket, and when mounted, a narrow lanyard connects the saddle with the jacket. Should the rider become separated from the saddle, the lanyard will pull the activation key from the jacket, triggering a mechanism to release CO2 into the airbag system. The jacket inflates, encapsulating the rider’s trunk and collar area of the neck before he or she hits the ground, providing shock absorption on impact.

Each jacket is delivered with complete kit including Jacket, CO2 Canister, Lanyard, Nylon Stirrup Strap, Allen Key and User Manual.

The highly resistant polyester fabric can be brushed or sponged down to remove stains.

Safety standards
The RS2010 Racesafe body protector, approved to BETA 2009 Level 3, is incorporated into the P2-RS which has the added protection of Point Two air vest technology.

The revolutionary P2-RS carries the European Standard EN 13158:2009 Level 3, which it meets when both inflated and uninflated. It is also available in a (non BETA-approved) EN 13158:2009 Level 1 version, for professional jockeys and use in FEI competition.

What the P2-RS protects
The P2-RS inflates at speeds of up to 0.093 of a second, to provide enhanced protection to all the major thoracic and upper abdominal organs, the spine and the collar of the neck. It also helps guard against crushing injuries in the event of a rotational fall.

How the P2-RS works
A lanyard attached to the jacket is clipped onto a lead afixed to the horse's saddle. Once the rider leaves the saddle during a fall, the lanyard detaches itself from the P2-RS, triggering the release of CO2 gas from a canister.

The P2-RS will hold a rider tight for 15-20 seconds and then slowly deflate. Rigorous checks have been made on the inflated P2-RS to ensure it did not impede riders should they need to roll away from danger when on the ground.

The P2-RS is fully reusable, and requires servicing annually or after every six falls.

Sizing, weight and spare parts
The P2-RS is more comfortable, convenient and nearly 20% lighter than using a separate body protector and air jacket — as required in UK competition.

Sizing is the same as Racesafe body protectors, but Point Two recommends riders have the P2-RS fitted by an expert. Each garment is sold with a spare canister of CO2 gas, to be used for a test inflation on the retailer's premises at the point of sale, so riders can experience the sensation of the jacket being activated.

Three sizes of lanyard are available, and we manufacture saddle attachments for conventional and racing saddles.
