FAQs
How do I know if this canister fits my jacket?
This canister is specifically for Point Two jackets manufactured before October 1, 2012, which use a screw-in attachment method.
Can I reuse the canister after it has been fired?
No, once the seal is punctured and the CO2 is released, the canister is empty and must be replaced with a new one.
How often should I check my canister?
It is recommended to weigh your canister annually to ensure it meets the weight requirements engraved on the canister body.
Does the canister have an expiration date?
While they do not have a hard expiration date, they can last up to 5 years if stored properly, provided the weight remains correct.
Is it safe to carry these canisters in a horse trailer?
Yes, as long as they are stored in a cool, dry, and secure location away from sharp objects or extreme heat.
Troubleshooting
Canister will not screw into the firing mechanism
Ensure the threads are free of debris and that you are using the correct screw-fit variant for your jacket model year.
Canister weight is lower than the engraved specification
The canister has leaked; it is no longer safe to use and must be replaced immediately.
Jacket did not inflate after trigger pull
Check that the canister was fully tightened and that the piercing pin in the firing mechanism is not damaged.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your air jacket remains ready for service, follow these guidelines:
- Compatibility Check: Verify that your air jacket was manufactured before October 1, 2012, to ensure it is compatible with the screw-fitting mechanism. Do not attempt to use adapters or force fitment on newer bayonet-style systems.
- Installation: Simply unscrew the depleted canister and thread the new 60cc canister into the firing mechanism until hand-tight.
- Annual Maintenance: Once every 12 months, remove the canister and weigh it on a digital scale. The weight must match the specifications engraved on the canister body. If the weight is below this threshold, the gas has leaked, and the canister must be replaced.
- Storage: Store unused canisters in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures to preserve the seal integrity.
