BETA statement regarding airbag compatibility
FAQ: Please can you clarify if there are any safety concerns regarding wearing the Point Two Air Jacket together with the Kan?
Reply from BETA:-
The Kan has passed independent tests to pass the EN and BETA standards and is approved therefore for all types of riding activity. We do not know of any reason why the two should not be worn together and I know that many riders do, including Nicola Wilson at Badminton. I am not aware of any tests done by Point Two that would suggest that the Kan is not suitable for use and we have certainly had no feedback to the contrary. Before ruling the Kan (or indeed any other body protector) out from use with an air bag, I would wish to see scientific tests justifying their suggestion and supporting the apparently anecdotal nature of their claims.
