I own 2 jackets and a vest from Helite I own 2 jackets and a vest from Helite. Their products are high quality, innovative and comfortable to wear. For me, a Helite air bag jacket is to a motorcyclist, what a bullet proof vest is to a cop or soldier. I don't ride without it.

Seems expensive but not really when compared to a broken back! I bought the vest so I could wear with various jackets. Good quality. I've been in an accident since but stayed on the bike so the vest didn't inflate. The weight of the vest feels natural after wearing a while. I see it as the equivalent of a seat belt in a car. A small price to pay to protect your back and neck against the unpredictability of the traffic/roads. Jim B

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.

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!

Quantum leap in motorcycle safety. Nice product. Well made. This device is a quantum jump in safety. Riding is all about risk management. This device will seriously reduce your chance of bleeding to death due to internal injuries.
