If you accept that you are not immune… If you accept that you are not immune from a serious motorcycle accident, and find a pattern of trustworthiness in Helite reviews, just imagine the regret of waking up in a hospital bed, with time, depending on injuries maybe a lifetime, to wish you'd spent the money on a Helite vest. Mine arrived the day before a 3-week, 5000 mile ride. I barely noticed it on top of my jacket, and would not consider riding without it. Next level safety; no looking back. If you can afford it, get it.

Hi-Viz Horrible Appearance. Hi-Viz Horrible Appearance. The hi- viz color is just horribly dirty. Additionally, nothing I’ve tried- that Helite recommended- helps whatsoever. The scuff marks from the seat, backrest, handling with gloves (?) seem to be permanently imbedded on the vest, both on the rear and front of the vest. Nothing seems to remove the dirt and scuff marks. A 2 year old vest looks like it’s 10 years old with no way to clean it to improve its looks. It’s an eyesore already!

2+ years with it, still great. I've been using the turtle airbag vest (motorcycle) for 2+ years. I tried it once with friends, and it was great. Then I dropped my motorcycle on my garage ramp. It activated perfectly. (cost me another CO2 cartridge only). I have the high-vis one, and as I ride ant night I like the huge reflective bands. Another rider in the same garage at work apparently had an accident that totaled his bike, but his helite jacket activated and he had no real injuries. so quite nice.

best personal safety gear after the helmet the Helite Air Vest or Jacket maybe the best personal safety gear you can buy. I own two one for me and one for the occasional passenger I might have.

My Turtle Vest and my Adventure Jacket… My Turtle Vest and my Adventure Jacket are essential components of ATGATT, depending on the weather. The jacket is just too warm when it is above 85º F. Regardless, when warm I wear my mesh armored jacket and Turtle Vest. I've seen the evidence that an air vest / jacket can be the difference between walking away with bruises and hospitalization with serious injuries.
