The ProAir is designed to be worn in conjunction with a conventional body protector for the highest level of safety. During Cross Country phases in most high-level competitions, the organizers actually require the ProAir to be worn with a BETA approved Level 3 body protector, like the Point Two ProFlex. However, testing has shown our air vest to actually be more effective than a typical body protector when compared one to one. In fact, Point TwoAir Vests are the only air vests to be certified with SATRA M38 as an air vest alone. See our safety page for more information on certification.
While trail riding or hunting, some riders use our vest on its own. They are pleased that it is lighter and less cumbersome than a typical body protector. We are pleased that they are wearing a higher level of protection, rather than nothing at all, like before. See our safety page for more information on certification.
NOTE: The ProAir is not designed to be used on a western saddle. The bottom buckle on the vest may get caught on the horn during a fall. Obviously, that would be bad. What's better is our Hunter vest is designed with a zipper closure and works perfect with a western saddle. Problem solved!
