USWORTH IT! Very well built vest. Super comfortable - even for a guy who's 6'5" tall and 300+ lbs. When I'm riding, I don't even know i'm wearing it! Customer service is great bar none! I definitely recommend Helite to anyone that rides anything.

USI love the product I love the product. I feel much safer riding with my vest. That being said fitting is a small issue. The vest for touring long distance is uncomfortable. It hinders side to side head movement and sometimes rides up. The vest seems to be designed (turtle vest) for a more leaner over sports bike stance. For touring (goldwing GTL Etc.) It becomes very uncomfortable. Ease dont get me wrong I wear it every time. I just feel like the jacket or a redesigned touring version would be better. Again love the product

USOnly reason not to buy is you don't care about your spine / neck... I have both the adventure jacket for colder weather and the vest that I partner with my summer jacket. I NEVER RIDE WITHOUT it. My friend went down on his bike after I badgered him to get a Helite. He had soft tissue damage yet way less than if he had a regular riding jacket. These work. Period. There is no reason except cheapness for not protecting your most valuable asset, your spine and neck. You can live without a limb but its gonna be a life of suckage to live paralyzed. The quality of the jacket is great. I did have to resew the inside of a pocket (I think my pen ripped it, but otherwise its been very durable, warm and water proof. The vest is awesome in the summer with lighter weight jackets.

USGreat product that is simple to use and… Great product that is simple to use and of very high quality. I have used a Helite vest for over 4 years and no problems. Fortunately I haven't had to test its life saving capabilities.

CAThe leather jacket is quite heave but… The leather jacket is quite heave but that's what it is expected. Air flow is excellent for summer ride. The only complain I have is that the leather around zipper head area curl up after a few weeks. Looked ugly. I hope it doesn't affect the function of the air bag.
