This is my review of the Helite Tutle 2 Airbag Vest.
I've rode thousands of Kilometres with this vest and love it!
I highly recommend the vest. These are the things to consider when buying the Turtle 2 vest and why I think it's currently the best option.
My size (at the time I ordered):
A: 165
B: 92
C:90
D:90
E:52

Nice video! There is the Helite e-turtle. The same air vest, but with an electronic trigger system. There is no subscription fee and it is totally self-maintainable. Regarding a battery: it is just a matter of habit to charge it, same as with your phone. And it takes a few hours to charge it to 100% and you are good to ride for next 24h :D

I have one in hi viz. I ride a lot at night and would rather be seen. Only thing is here in Florida where hardly anyone even wears a helmet, it feels kinda like "overkill" at times. I have yet to see anyone on the road with one. But at the end of the day it may save your life or at least some broken bones. Thats good enough for me. Very expensive though.

I live in south Florida and I wear one and contrary to what Muzclark says , the vest substantially increases my visibility. My only complaint about the hi-viz vest is that it gets dirty quick and is difficult to keep clean.

Nice review, I do wonder how much benefit it would be in the event of a direct collision where u remain on the bike and an object hits you at high speeds (or vice versa)

Absolutely no benefit. I’ve also since found out due to multiple accidental deployment that my vest was faulty. Customer service was HORRIBLE and I can safely say I would no longer recommend this vest.

@muzclark Nice video! What is the size of your vest? I am 180 cm tall and my weight 77 kilograms. What fits me on the chart they are showing on their website is the XL but I never worn anything in whole my life bigger than M and rarely L but never XL… what is your feed back on the size please? I appreciate it your help

My vest is a size small but I do remember getting confused by their sizings so I included all my measurements in the notes section when I sent the order. As I think I said in the video, it fits very loose but that allows me to ware layers underneath in winter and allows for the bag to inflate. My size (at the time I ordered): A: 165 B: 92 C:90 D:90 E:52

Does it flap around when going fast? Say 80+ mph? Considering getting one to ride on my crotch rocket. I wear a leather suite so this would go over. I hate the drag from baggy clothing though

All the adjustment straps are stored under a Velcro flap so it doesn’t flap around HOWEVER it doesn’t fit tightly, it’s meant to have a bit of room to allow it to expand in an accident.

Sorry for the delay replaying. Hopefully you found the answer in previous comments and the description: I added my sizes to the order form and asked them to contact me if they thought I ordered the wrong size (small). My size (at the time I ordered): A: 165 B: 92 C:90 D:90 E:52

How do u find it on hot days with all your riding gear on?
@muzclark
@muzclark 2 жыл бұрын
It's surprisingly hot. I bought a jacket with mesh arms to compensate because the vest blocks a lot of airflow over your chest and shoulders where most jackets have vents. It does help a little bit if I unzip the front of the jacket under the vest.

I'm trying to find the video now, I thought I had it linked but must have forgot. Fortnine's invisibility training video makes a few good points on the subject though: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/rp9kg6qYvrGsgWQ.html I remember an Australian study was mentioned, I could find this on Google: motorbikewriter.com/professor-debunks-hi-vis-clothing/ I have seen a car pull straight out in-front of a post man on a motorcycle who was on the road at the time wearing hi-vis including the post bags. People look for cars, they don't "see" motorcycle, no matter how bright they may be. That's why I teach kids to look and ask themselves if "anything" is coming, not just if "any cars are coming".
