Point Two Hybrid Jacket
Haven't had the chance to really use it yet, but it fits well.

Protection
Hybrid foam/air vest offers better protection in a critical fall, although somewhat heavy (and hot). Purchased extra cartridges-- seemed like a good idea. Worth the $ and small inconvenience for safety in this somewhat unpredictable sport.

Makes me feel safe
At first, the jacket seems a little uncomfortable but 5 minutes in the saddle and you completely forget about it. I had the chance to experience the inflation soon after my purchase! It was immediate, did not startle the horse, was not uncomfortable, easy to change the cartridge and most important protected me. Yes it's expensive, but how much is your back worth?

Disappointed
Having suffered some falls recently, was looking for an all in one product that would provide me more protection than my Flex-Rider vest. This jacket appeared to be the right product because of the combination of the padded vest and the air bag. But the vest was very stiff and it did not fit correctly, particularly around the chest and hips, even though there is some adjustability with side strings. I could not see myself wearing this device daily and being comfortable so returned it. The quality of the item looked fine. Problem is that the C02 cannisters are not returnable and I had ordered extra but admit this was disclosed at purchase. I'd recommend holding off on the extra air cannisters until you are sure the product will be right for your needs. I am considering purchasing the stand alone air bag version to wear over my existing vest but will try to find a shop first to try one on and have the experts fit it correctly.
