The Helite Saddle Strap is an essential safety component designed to connect your Helite airbag vest to the saddle, ensuring proper activation in the event of a fall. Constructed in a Y-shaped design, the strap attaches securely to the stirrup bars beneath the stirrup leathers, creating a reliable anchor point for the airbag lanyard. Correct installation and adjustment are critical to ensure the airbag system functions as intended while allowing complete freedom of movement in the saddle.

The strap should be adjusted to suit both horse and rider. A strap that is too long may delay or prevent airbag deployment, while a strap that is too short can interfere with riding, particularly when jumping. Once installed, riders should attach the airbag lanyard and stand in their stirrups to confirm the elastic portion of the lanyard is only lightly stretched, indicating proper adjustment for safe and effective use.

Key Features:

• Designed specifically for use with Helite airbag vests and lanyard systems
• Y-shaped design attaches securely to the saddle beneath the stirrup leathers
• Adjustable fit helps ensure proper airbag activation while maintaining rider comfort and freedom of movement
