PREVENTING ACCIDENTS IN ADDITION TO PROTECTING FROM ACCIDENTS

Be proactive, change your habits to adapt to the constantly changing road environment. Motorcyclists and horse riders tend to choose the HIVIS vest because they are conscious of the danger on the road, especially when it’s dark. Harley riders and the fashion conscious, don't worry. This comes in black too! The vest has been designed to maintain the same comfort you had before wearing it.

DOA Airbag model, newest mechanical airbag system (inflates in 100ms)
HiVis Yellow colourway meets requirements of EN 471 Class 3 reflectivity
Large 3M Scotchlite reflective stripes for night visibility
CE certified EN 1621/1 Certified Knox back protector

COMFORT
Inner textile 3D mesh to maintain good air circulation. It has a pleasant and comfortable foam touch.
Light, flexible and free under the arms to enable all movements.
Very light, easy and adjustable buckles to close your jacket quickly even when you are wearing gloves.
Hidden hook and loop buckles on the chest for better adjustment of the vests width.

TECHNOLOGY
The DOA Airbag model includes the 2012 Helite innovations that protects neck and upper back even better than before in case of an accident.

This product is widely used in the motorcycle speedway world protecting the riders who are more or less guaranteed to have a major crash.
It supports your thorax, kidneys, back and even acts as a neck brace limiting neck movement without lifting the head which otherwise would cause hyper extension.

DISPELLING THE MYTHS:

What if I forget to unclip myself from the bike and walk away?
The Helite Vest needs a load pressure of 30kg (or 66 lbs) to activate so you feel a huge tug to remind yourself. We're not saying it isn't possible but imagine dangling a 30 bags of sugar from your waist. We're sure you would be aware of that.

Once this is activated and has gone off, is it then useless?
Not at all, provided the bladder is fine it can be used time and time again.

Once it has been activated I'll have to push all the bags back inside before I can use it again.
Nope, if this has activated, all you have to do is to install another gas cartridge in the pocket with the allen key provided and your ready to fall off or crash all over again.

If I do take a tumble in this airbag vest and the outer is ruined but the airbag system is OK, it will work but I wont look quite as dapper.
Fear not, with this system you can purchase a new vest to house the airbag in so you can continue to look smart AND safe.

Comes complete with a gas cartridge so you can be safe right away!
Please note: This gas cartridge offer only applies to UK residents as we cannot ship compressed gas overseas due to freight laws. We will however, point you in the right direction to be able to purchase an immediate and future supply of them in your own country.
