Helite VENTED Airbag jacket - BlackRef : HT0025

HELITE presents its VENTED Airbag Jacket:

Protection:

• The Vented jacket features an airbag for optimum protection. In addition to absorbing impacts, the airbag stabilizes the entire trunk to prevent hyper-extension
• The synergy between the back protector and the airbag distributes the force of impact over the entire surface of the airbag, considerably improving protection
• The 100% mechanical airbag systems are sold ready to inflate with a motorcycle tie-down cord and CO2 cartridge
• Strategically positioned retro-reflective strips for 360° night-time visibility
• Elbow and shoulder protection are integrated into the jacket, as is a SAS-TEC level 2 back protector for the "Turtle effect"
• A mix of technical textiles combining ventilation and safety: Cordura, Mesh Polyamide and black leather reinforcement on elbows and shoulders

Comfort:

• Inside and outside pockets
• Soft neoprene collar
• Mesh panels throughout the jacket allow maximum airflow to support a motorcycle jacket on hot days
• Waterproof and windproof membrane independent of the jacket for easy on/off, practical for variable-weather days
• Adjustable cuffs to fit motorcycle gloves
• The cartridge and firing pin are ingeniously concealed in a pocket for added aesthetic appeal

Airbag impact protection is only effective when the airbag is fully inflated and the jacket is closed properly (zip all the way up and snap closed, or plastic buckles fully fastened). The device must be connected to the motorcycle or scooter in order to inflate the vest and be protected.

The Airbag device is designed to prepare for impact and minimize its consequences, without however guaranteeing absolute protection against all injuries. It inflates close to the body to stiffen and maintain the trunk in a neutral position, and during impact the impact energy is absorbed and dissipated over the entire surface of the device.
