Choosing the right CO2 cartridge is essential to ensure your airbag vest functions properly. Each model requires a specific cartridge adapted to its size and protection volume.
What is a CO2 cartridge used for?
The CO2 cartridge inflates the airbag upon activation. It releases compressed gas within milliseconds to protect vital areas of the body.
What CO2 cartridge sizes are available?
CO2 cartridges are available in different sizes (cc). The correct choice depends on the airbag model and size.
- 48cc: small sizes or XS
- 50cc: children and small adults
- 60cc: medium sizes (M/L)
- 100cc: large sizes or maximum protection
How to choose the right CO2 cartridge?
It is essential to follow the manufacturer’s recommendations. A cartridge that is too small will not fully inflate the airbag, while a cartridge that is too large may affect its performance.
CO2 cartridge compatibility
Each airbag model and brand is designed to work with a specific cartridge. Always check compatibility with your vest and brand to ensure optimal protection.
Can you use a cartridge from another brand?
