Point Two Vs Hit Air

Lee Middleton from Point Two describes the inherent dangers associated with Hit Air's top selling safety vest. This video explains how Point Two's extensive testing and product development, in conjunction with Spinal Surgeons and leading test houses has led to our proven range of much safer equestrian air vests.
In particular this video highlights the 2 main design flaws with the Hit Air:
1. the Hit Air trigger mechanism laying directly on the rider instead of behind an air bag and padding (as it does with the Point Two)
2. the design flaw with the hinge on the most vulnerable part of the spine.
In this video you will see with your own eyes top event rider Coral Keen getting up and walking away from a serious rotational fall wearing a Point Two vest at Bock.

Nothing like slagging off another company in a video to make you want to buy from them. I was sitting on the fence. After this I'm buying a hit air

[@alexayling917]

I love this comparison, very informative and I'm pleased to see you are giving both sets of customers the information they need in selecting the right jacket, whether it be a point two or making sure you have the upgraded hit air jacket

My wife, a paramedic, was recently on a trauma course at Keele university. these vests were discused by the trauma surgeon running the course.. He is a doctor for three day events like burghley etc so gets to see these vests in action regularly ... his opinion was hit air all the way. just saying .

[@seal5low]

Your comments about the keybox are moot when you consider most riders wear a solid body protector underneath which would negate any possible issues such as you are claiming. I had a rotational fall in my hit-air a few days ago and it did an amazing job and the paramedics were singning its praises. I've never felt so comfy lying on my back in the mud! Sad you feel the need to attack an rival company in this way though and it reflects poorly on your company I'm afraid.

This is an unfair comparison. My hitair vest has an airbag behind the trigger and it's serviceable enough.

[@lali7839]

could I ask which vest is it the hitair pro

[@jasongavin7313]

What a lovely way to show how to not advertise

[@murraylake3484]

Point Two came about because Lee Middleton branded the Helite model air vest. They had a falling out, and he started making his own. Guess his sales aren't doing that well since he feels he needs to slander another company. Getting sales on his product design isn't happening, so he is having to resort to lies. Check out the neck protection of Hit-Air vs P2. Ask those who have had whiplash from the lack of neck protection of the Point Two.

[@isaackarjala7916]

The hit-air not immediately deflating is going to allow it to serve as a neck brace for incase you've incurred a neck injury.

Looking at air vests having had a carriage accident a month ago.I was wearing fairly newTipperary vest and ended up with four fractures in my back landing on deep and wet stone dust arena footing. As soon as I can get the medical bills paid I'll be investing in this. Thanks

[@hicksy2121]

I’ve been told the point 2 implodes so winds you and the hit air ex plodes so you don’t get winded. Thoughts pls??

[@anxiousappliance]

This guy has an old model hit air - the keybox has been relocated. Waste of time.

[@yenbad1000]

My Hit Air vest inflated super fast when I needed it to and deflated very quickly afterward. This video is not accurate.

[@Ubar2011]

Hi , I trail and was getting ready to order the Point Two Pro-air vest but I saw that this vest should not be worn with a western saddle. Is the Point Two Hunter as good and protective? TIA

[@philipmalanchuk4654]

Yeah, if you're going to do a comparison with any credibility, at least use the current product from the competitor, not the discontinued obsolete line.

[@jackwing1949]

I just broke my tailbone last Saturday during a bad fall on stone. The hitair wouldn't have prevented that with that little add on pillow. Hands down the much deeper back protection of the Point Two would have prevented my injury

[@ElaineSmith-z1h]

I've just sent my hit air for service, and it's failed and can't be repaired. I hot it as it was the only one with neck support at that time. Now i don't know what to do

[@nikkicarpenter7138]

I know both MD's personally and I have purchase the Point Two Air Vest - original and still the best !!

[@dmenendez55]

You are not doing the right comparison. You need to use one more recent model of hit-air like MLV-C

[@JoseAntonio-zj9vk]

Al grabar el video, deberíais de enfocar la cámara hacia la parte de la espalda del maniquí, por que de nada sirve ver como activas el sistema tirando de la cuerda y no ves lo que realmente importa que es la espalda del airbag.

[@kalahhorton5298]

The quickbooks posting in the background 😂

[@MaesSeren]

Nothing like slandering another competitor to try and increase sales. Hit air wouldn't be on the market if they were as dangerous as mentioned in this video. He mentions about the older video being biased as it was filmed by a relation to a hit air rep, but all this shows is pointless retaliation from point two.

[@Head4heightstreesurgeryUk]

I wouldn't use that vest knowing that the trigger is on the inside, behind the air bag. He's not slandering anybody, he even advises you in the video to ask Hit Air to replace your vest with the safer one. There has been a case in the UK where a rider had exactly the kind of accident he's talking about where the trigger got pushed into the riders body because there is no protection behind it. That can't happen with the Point Two as you can see for yourself where Coral Keen walks away from a rotational fall.

[@murraylake3484]

The trigger isn't on the inside behind the airbag. Another lie by Point Two.

[@RR-hd2fs]

Unfair manipulative "comparison" with one-sided optics of another company. You show only who you are... Hit-Air MLV-C saved my life in a motorcycle accident. It is Japanese technology, practice more than 20 years, certificates, development. A sensible person will not let himself be manipulated!!!

[@ElaineSmith-z1h]

Omg, i have one of the hit air vests,😢

[@aaustin29111]

Bullshit the air canisters is now in front of an airbag - he is presenting an old hit air which has been redesigned now to address this ... and as for the neck claim where’s the evidence

[@Chileeralindo5861]

Hit air is the best

[@IcePonyGoddess]

Air bag and foam in the HitAir Pro.
