First two products to launch this collaboration

The partnership begins with the launch of two products:

• An electronic airbag designed for horse riding 

The Fouganza airbag vest reinvents safety on horseback. This electronic airbag, with no cables or sensors, detects and protects against falls in 60 milliseconds, even those without separation of the body. It protects the rider’s vital areas: back, chest, abdomen and neck, while offering comfort and breathability. The first airbag certified for both horse riding and urban mobility, this airbag can also accompany the user in their daily travels by bicycle or scooter.
