Travel Smarter, Not Harder

Your guide to flying with Hit-Air airbag systems

Traveling can be stressful with challenges like getting to the airport, finding parking, and navigating flight procedures. To help ease your journey, we've compiled three essential tips for traveling with your Hit-Air airbag vest or jacket.

Proper care of your Hit-Air products extends their lifespan and makes airport security smoother.

Why it matters: If TSA conducts a swab test during check-in, clean equipment helps prevent false positives that could delay your travel.

Before you fly, remove:

• Grease and oil residue
• Sweat and body oils
• Pet hair
• Dirt and debris

Note: While Hit-Air systems are TSA-approved for air travel, TSA agents have final authority on what's allowed through security.

TSA Guidelines for Hit-Air Systems:

✓ Checked Luggage: Allowed

✓ Carry-On Luggage: Allowed

Pro Tips:

• Pack spare CO₂ cartridges with your tool kit
• Download and print the TSA approval page before your flight
• Keep all three cartridges together for easy inspection
• Remember: Wearable airbag vests are uncommon items that TSA agents may not see regularly

Important: While most riders report smooth experiences with checked baggage, some have been asked to discard CO₂ cartridges from carry-on luggage.

Best practices:

• Arrive early to allow time for any questions or inspections
• Be patient and courteous with TSA agents—they're keeping everyone safe
• Have documentation ready (printed TSA approval page)
• Be prepared to explain what your airbag system is and how it works

Remember: TSA agents have final authority on what's allowed through security checkpoints.
