HELITE presents its VENTED Airbag jacket:
Protection:
- The Vented jacket incorporates an airbag with a volume of 18 litres for optimal protection. In addition to absorbing impacts, the airbag stabilises the entire torso to prevent hyper-extension
- The synergy between the back protection and the airbag allows the impact force to be distributed across the entire surface of the airbag, significantly improving protection
- 100% mechanical airbag systems are sold ready to inflate with a motorcycle attachment cord and a CO2 cartridge
- Reflective strips positioned at strategic points to be visible at night in 360°
- Elbow and shoulder protections are integrated into the jacket, as well as a SAS-TEC level 2 back protector providing the "Turtle effect"
- A mix of technical textiles that combine ventilation and safety: Cordura, Polyamide Mesh, and black leather reinforcements on the elbows and shoulders
Comfort:
- Inner and outer pockets
- Soft neoprene collar
- The mesh panels throughout the jacket allow maximum airflow to support a motorcycle jacket during hot days
- Independent waterproof and windproof membrane that can be easily worn and removed, practical for variable weather days
- Adjustments at the wrists to fit motorcycle gloves
- The cartridge and its striker are ingeniously concealed in a pocket for aesthetic purposes
The airbag protection against impacts is only effective when the airbag is fully inflated and the jacket is properly and securely fastened (zip all the way up and press stud closed or all plastic buckles fastened). It is imperative to connect the device to the motorcycle or scooter to trigger the inflation of the vest and be protected.
The Airbag device is designed to prepare for impact and minimise its consequences, although it does not guarantee absolute protection against all injuries; it inflates close to the body to stiffen and maintain the torso in a neutral position, during impact the energy of the shock is absorbed and dissipated across the entire surface of the device.
