What to Do After Deployment

Follow the steps below for resetting, checking and storing your VELOAIR after use.

Replace the CO₂ Canister

After deployment, remove the used canister and install the approved replacement for your jacket size:

30g YR1 / YR2

38g YR3 / A1

45g A2 / A3

55g A4 / A4T

Inspect the Jacket

Check the vest carefully after a fall. Look for visible damage, loose parts or anything that appears out of place before using it again.

Clean Gently

If the jacket needs cleaning, wipe it with water only. Do not machine wash. Do not use bleach or detergents.

Store Properly

Once reset, store the VELOAIR in its smart jacket bag and keep it in a dry place away from radiators or other heat sources. It can also be laid flat if needed.

Book Annual Servicing

A yearly professional service is recommended to keep the system working as intended. This should include mechanical checks, trigger inspection and airbag testing.

Keep Registration Active

If the product is registered, the Care Programme may provide extended warranty support and replacement benefits, provided servicing requirements are maintained.

Important: Always follow the official Racesafe instructions supplied with the product.
