Get all your saddles ready for riding with your Helite Air Bag, thanks to the Helite Saddle Strap.
Although one Saddle Strap is supplied with your Helite Airbag, many riders find it quicker and easier to set up a Saddle Strap on each of their saddles, so they are always ready to use with the air vest.
The Helite saddle strap connects your key ball lanyard (found on your Airvest) to your saddle. The high level of adjustability means it is able to fit and adapt to all saddle styles and shapes.
- The equestrian key ball lanyard and saddle strap is standard across all Helite horse-riding products.
- We strongly recommend that you get one saddle strap per saddle and you leave each securely attached at all times.
- Keep it away from anything sharp or abrasive that could damage or weaken the strap.
Fitting your Helite Key Ball Lanyard and Saddle Strap – THIS IS VERY IMPORTANT!
- Ideally the saddle strap should be fitted to the stirrup bars of the saddle as this is the most robust area.
- The closer the lanyard and saddle strap is to your centre of gravity when seated on your horse the better.
- Try out the length and adjust it until you reach an optimal length.
- The lanyard when attached to the saddle strap should only be tight when you are stood up.
- If the length of the strap is too long the inflation of the airbag jacket could be delayed.
