Brilliant tech. Anything that saves the lives of motorcyclists _AND_ is simple to reload (though how many times do you want to be needing to before you realise that maybe this isn't for you ... !) is a good thing.

Got a Helite Turtle vest. Thankfully I haven't had to use it, but wouldn't leave home without it now.

time to invest in one of these. I didn't know it was so self contained and easy to reload. Thought it was like a car airbag and then you have to buy a new jacket. but this is great.

Been using this on the road with my Dainese jackets/suit with a hump and it works brilliantly. Its a great product. Just attach the lanyard to the frame under the seat of the bike, feed it up between the tank and the front of the seat and keep it as short as possible so that the distance you travel before the jacket fires is at a minimum.

I like this one. Looks like it protects the neck in addition to back and chest. Looks easy to recharge too.

I have to say, after having two accidents in the space of 2 years, the second one resulting in 3 broken ribs, a punctured lung, a broken collar bone and a broken hand, I think I owe it to myself and my family to get one of these once I am fully recovered.

I have to say, given how much I love motorcycling and so understand how much more dangerous simply commuting can be compared to a car, these should be made a legal requirement in the UK just as a safety helmet. Good product, I will grab one.

Great that they include neck immobilization.

This has already saved so many lives! A revolutionary product!

Great product I’m definitely gonna buy one before the start of this riding season thank you for your innovation in motorcycle safety

Last year my father had a serious motorcycle crash wearing a Helite GP Air. The vest didn't deploy because the mechanism that opens the cartridge malfunctioned. He suffered severe injury and survived because of a miracle. PLEASE testfire your Helite vest to check that it really works!!! My Turtle worked but my trust in Helite is gone forever and so is my fathers ability to ride.

How about a review of the Helite E-Turtle too?

It would be good to design a a hip and leg air bag which is triggered as the bike Jack knifes or falls to either side, and detects car speed for side impact. Maybe something to protect the wrists and elbows, major contact points. The body needs to roll and slide so the bag needs to be ergonomic in a crash on multiple surfaces and traction.

I have both the Turtle Vest and the adventure jacket. I wear the turtle vest more because I can wear my regular riding jackets underneath depending on weather (hot, mild, cold) When it’s really cold (relatively speaking for Florida) I’ll wear the adventure jacket. Another good thing about the vest is it’s high-viz reflective properties.

The fact that you can use it again, is awesome.

are both as good armor or is turle is better portectiomon?

Is it tear resistant

just send it with a longer key so it doens't keep hitting the vest and it's perfect

Amazing thanks again 🎉🎉😊

I love bikes!!

What if! You forget to unplug tur wire and try to walk away from The bike? IT hapened to ME while i had my hadphones on...

Very cool!!

Where the demo?

will it work ontop of the Dainese d air combined with the Helite GP air?

I have the gp air, it's a nice piece of kit and unfortunately I've used it for real as I race. It's not all positive, this will make low sides worse but protect you in high sides. I've had a low side twice with this and the first time at 30mph the vest didn't go off, simply dragging me with the bike leaving my leg trapped under my bike. The second time I lowsided at 60mph and the vest went off after a while of sliding when I went from track to grass, the inflation caused me to start flipping, damaging my hands, wrists and shoulders as I tumbled. However the vest held my head really still and protected areas such as my shoulder bones which are not usually protected. Not sure if it's worth the money yet.

two-oh-one-eight has got to be the most obnoxious way to say 2018

only interrest is for the neck. On racetrack we have chest & back protection already. Dainese level2. This vest won't protect the collarbone to breake, wich is the main injury.

Sweet

How much for the airbag

2:45

Seems like it's critical that it can also be removed as soon after the accident is over as possible, in case medical attention is needed. You don't want to be stuck in it for a full 7 minutes, right? Can this be removed before the deflation is over?

How much for the vest??

He sounds like that one pirate from pirates of the Caribbean

Why don't they just make the whole racesuit an airbag!?

That air bag protect u from your wife as well😂 mate...I want one of them too ..protect myself from my wife😂😂

Who's here to see the human burrito

it doesn't seem like it would take too much engineering to make a quicker deflation mechanism. 7 minutes seems excessive if you want it deflated... I noticed they had it removed off-camera so we wouldn't see what a pain in the ass it is. Of course if it saves your bacon then you'll probably forgive that little inconvenience.

Oh sure make me wanna pull your wire eh. Great vid thanks

What happens when someone needs to start CPR and the vest dosent deflate for 7 min. Those 7min could be crucial

Until i forget im wearing it and try to walk into walmart and look like a moron lol. Its a great idea. I knew it when i saw them for snowboarders. Ill get one when the price comes down a bit for the cheap riders

I didn't know there was a problem with motorcycle riders drowning

Wife is a horse rider. Has been thrown before. This could work for her too.

Wtf does “it inflates in no point no 9 seconds” How long is that in English?

H

Two o one eighty

Be aware that although you can reload them yourself after an accidental pull (or more likely you testing it), you absolutely should throw it out and buy a new one after a crash, just like any abraded safety critical pressure vessel.

Slap 50 level 2 back protectors behind you and you could probably be shot with a .50 cal and survive. The clips on the mechanical Helite vests are crap. They break way to often. It's a good product. But the marketing and claims are not very smart.

Sucks over a perforated race suit. Also way to big.

Don’t need that shit. That’s what my collar bones are for.

Better yet, stop riding motorcycles on the streets and highways. Dirt only.

Not a demonstration
