Description
Hazel Airbag Safety Vest
Hazel is an airbag vest for riders who want protection without feeling padded into place. It’s one of the lightest vests of its kind, and the stretch fabric sits close against the body rather than sitting on top of it — light enough that you stop noticing it a few minutes into a ride.
The outer shell is supple and breathable, lined with 3D mesh to keep air moving against the skin. The cut is open under the arms, so sitting deep, reaching forward and using your hands doesn’t meet resistance. A front zip closes it, and release is mechanical — a cable connects the vest to the saddle, and the airbag inflates the moment that connection breaks.
Available in XXS–XXL. Suitable for dressage, jumping and groundwork, worn either over your everyday riding clothes or under a compatible competition jacket. On deployment it protects the back, chest and sides, and guards against hyperflexion and hyperextension of the neck and spine.
CE certified to EN 1621-4. One cartridge is included, and the vest is reusable — replace the cartridge after deployment and it’s ready again.
Cartridge by size
XXS, XS — 50cc
S, M, L — 60cc
XL, XXL — 85cc
How to install catridge:
Each vest ships with the cartridge that matches its size. Replacement cartridges are sold by volume rather than by vest size, so check which one your vest takes before ordering.
Care
Hazel should not be machine washed. Wipe the shell clean with a damp cloth and mild soap, then let it air dry away from direct heat. No tumble drying, no ironing, no fabric softener. Store it flat or hanging in a dry place, and check that the cartridge is intact and correctly seated before each ride.

Women in the Saddle.
“I’ve tried so many breeches over the years, and honestly, nothing has come close to the Nellie. The Deep Forest colour is stunning in person, the fit is just right, and the knee grip stays exactly where it should. I had three people come up to me at the yard asking where I got them.”

Munich, Germany · Nellie Classic, Deep Forest — Knee Grip, Size S
“My friend would not stop talking about Pomme, so I finally ordered a pair, and now I completely get it. The fabric is so soft, and they fit perfectly straight out of the bag. I wore them the very next day and was so comfortable I almost forgot I had them on.”
Isabelle R.
Lyon, France · Nellie Bling, Deep Taupé — Seat Grip, Size M
“The high waist stays put all day without any gap at the back. The deep pockets are such a thoughtful touch, too — my phone actually fits! I’ve already told everyone at my yard, and we ended up doing a group order. That says it all, really.”

Frequently Asked Questions.
What makes the Nellie different from other riding breeches?
The Nellie was built from the ground up for the modern rider who refuses to compromise between performance and style. Most riding breeches are designed for either function or fashion; the Nellie delivers both. The 4-way technical stretch fabric moves completely freely in the saddle, the precision silicone grip (available in knee or full seat) gives you consistent contact, and the high-waisted equestrian breeches flatter every body shape. With sizes from XXS to XL, deep mobile pockets, an all-season fabric, and a colour range that actually excites you, there’s simply nothing else like it at this price point.
How does the Buy 2, Get 20% Off offer work?
Add 2 pairs of Nellie Breeches from the collection on offer to your cart, Classic or Bling, any colour, any size. The 20% discount is applied automatically at checkout. No code to enter, no minimum spend beyond the 2 pairs. At €145 per pair, you’ll save €58 and get two pairs of the most versatile riding breeches available. That’s two colours, two grip options, or one to ride in and one to keep fresh for competition.
How do I choose between Knee Grip and Seat Grip?
Choosing between knee grip vs full seat breeches comes down to how you ride. Knee grip is ideal for riders who want a lighter, more natural feel while still maintaining security in the saddle. Full seat grip offers maximum contact across the entire seat area and is preferred by riders who spend long hours in the saddle or who want added security during demanding work. If in doubt, we recommend starting with the knee grip; it’s our most popular option.
What is the difference between Nellie Classic and Nellie Bling?
Both styles use the same premium fabric and are available in the same size range. The difference is purely aesthetic: the Classic features a silicone grip printed in the same colour as the breeches for an elegant, understated look. The Bling features a gold or silver silicone grip for a bold, eye-catching finish that stands out in the arena. Both are equally performance-driven; it comes down to your personal style.
How do Pomme Nellie Breeches compare in quality to premium European brands?
Riders who’ve made the switch from major German and Scandinavian brands consistently tell us they reach for their Nellies every time. The 4-way stretch fabric performs at the same level as breeches costing €200–€300, while the silicone grip pattern rivals industry leaders. What’s different is the price, at €145, the Nellie offers genuinely premium quality without the premium brand markup. As one of our customers put it: ‘I have expensive German breeches I never wear anymore.’
What size should I order?
The Nellie is designed with a compression fit; they should feel snug when you first put them on, and will shape to your body after a short time wearing them. We recommend using your usual jeans size as a guide. If you’re between sizes, size up. The fabric is incredibly forgiving and adapts beautifully to your body. Still unsure? Email the team at [email protected], and they’ll help you find the perfect fit.
Does the offer apply to all 20 Nellie colourways?
Yes. Every single Nellie style is included, all 9 Classic colourways and all 11 Bling colourways. Mix and match freely: pair a bold Burgundy with a classic Navy, or go all-in on the Bling range with Lavender and White.
What is your returns policy if I'm not happy?
We stand behind every pair of Nellie Breeches completely. If you’re not satisfied for any reason, you have 30 days from delivery to return your order for a full refund. We want you to love your Nellies, and we’re confident you will.
