DESCRIPTION
RXhorse, RxR Protext's protective vest for horse riding
ASA Technology, the heart of the system!
RxR Protect has developed the “Air Shock Absorber” (ASA), an exclusive patented system which encloses air in a honeycombed, inflatable, resistant and ergonomic structure. Applying this technology to equestrian sports allows the brand to offer a vest which has an optimum level of protection (level 3) and which, in case of impact, is capable of absorbing five times more energy than classic vests and eight times more energy than foam vests. Highly resistant, this microfibre vest is also both flexible and functional. Anti-microbial treated and breathable (it absorbs perspiration and moves it to the outer layer), RXHorse guarantees riders comfort and hygiene – which means the vest can be worn under or over a garment, and even against bare skin.
The main features of the RXHORSE chest-protector are high protection, lightness, comfort and mobility. Equipped with the best protection system on the market, the patented ASA (Air Shock Absorber) technology ensures maximum body protection and allows total mobility and comfort. The RXHorse vest has two inflatable valves (front and back) and an air pump, to allow you to easily activate its system. The vest fastens with Velcro closures and can be adjusted using the elastic side straps. The shoulders are reinforced with 10 mm-thick polyurethane foam. RXHorse was designed to ensure a level of shock absorption that complies with current safety standards (EN 13158 and EN13158-2000-06).
The heart of RXR chest-protectors is its air-bladder and ASA technology. Its multiple inter-connected chambers allow air to pass back and forth between chambers through restricted air passages that absorb the energy from a fall or impact (from bike, objects and ground) before it reaches your body. Clearly superior to the classic protection offered until now, with hard-plastics and foam, RXR chest-protectors are providing the maximum protection in the horse sports market. For the tests, the products were placed on a table equipped with various sensors measuring the shock absorption and resistance capacities of the products. A strength/power of 12 KJ was applied, from different heights/angles, to the products and the results show that the A.S.A. system has 5 times more energy absorption/resistance than hard-plastic chest-protectors and 10 times higher than foam-based products. Absorption time and distribution of the impact on the whole area of the product is clearly higher. ”
RXHorse is available in five sizes: S, M, L, XL and XXL.
