Today, our Hit-Air airbag vests are recognized as the most protective on the market, offering the most prominent neck collar available.
Pioneering since 1998, we designed thefirst body airbagfor motorcyclists.
French Law Enforcement Agencies Equipped with Airbag Vests Since 2011
The Gendarmerie Nationale, Police Nationale, and French Customs chose, as early as2011, to adopt equipment with integrated airbags, placing their trust inHit-Air.
This is also the case for theJapanese police:Hit-Air Japan has supported them for over 20 years, as all prefectural police forces in Japan now wear these vests.
Today, many law enforcement agencies around the world have adopted this equipment for their motorcycle units.
Among these countries are Spain, Indonesia, Brazil, France, China, Australia, Ireland, Switzerland, Turkey, and many others.
Adoption by Other Road Professionals
Other road professionals have also chosen to adopt the airbag vest. For example, motorcycle schools in theCER network, which offer training for all licenses, use these vests to ensure the safety of their students.
Similarly, Road Safety recognizes the airbag asan essential element of motorcyclist equipment.

Road safety also ensures that the use of this PPE is promoted:
Indeed, while half of fatal accidents occur as a result of a head injury, the other half results from animpact on the chest, spine, or abdomen.
Along with helmets, airbags are the only equipment capable of saving lives by protecting these vital body parts.
Focus on the Republican Guard
The motorcycle club "Sliders et Crampons" brings together all the motorcyclists of the presidential escort's motorcycle squadron.
These Republican Guard motorcyclists cover approximately 30,000 kilometers per year in service. For their safety, they are equipped with jackets integrating Hit-Air airbags. Based in Paris, they perform all kinds of escorts and often travel across France, particularly during cycling races like the Tour de France.
Even when off duty, these motorcycle enthusiasts continue to rack up the miles. With their experience and awareness of the importance of protection, they naturally adopted Hit Air vests over their personal jackets. This way, they ride safely, both professionally and personally.
Our commitment to road safety is undeniable today: by equipping law enforcement and other road professionals with their airbag vests, at Hit-Air we contribute to the safety of these professions.
The innovative technology and Japanese know-how of our airbag vests have made Hit-Air a leader in the field of motorcycle and equestrian protection.
