If you're riding a bike you need this. Yes, it is spendy, but the medical bills from the first fall off your motorcycle without it will dwarf the price.
Got hit at roughly 40 MPH by an SUV and was able to walk away with zero broken bones or internal bleeding. What more can I say, buy & wear the damn airbag.
Best thing to get when riding horses. Protect your body and easy to use and see the rider with bright neon yellow.
I hope to never find out what I don't like about this vest other than the cost and the fact that it is kind of hard to remember that you are hooked to the bike. But it takes a lot more than just getting off the bike and trying to walk away to actually set it off. So it really isn't a problem. The Co2 canisters are like $37 including shipping online elsewhere for these, they take the 60cc size from Hit-Air.You hardly notice you are wearing the thing it is so light weight and I don't notice it blocking the wind and I wear a mesh jacket with armor always since I am 65 and don't bounce too well any more.I bought an XL since that is the size I wear in motorcycle jackets. It fits over the top of it and is adjustable on the lower strap only. I would say anyone over a large would want an XL if you ride with a jacket especially if you ride in winter with a heavier coat. This will go over it.Gives some peace of mind that you might survive a crash if it isn't too horrific and you get thrown. Worth $550. Plus with all the Covidiots who knows if your hospital even has a bed for you if you need one.
Just wanted to share my experience of having it inflate while getting of my bike. As it takes a decent amount of force to activate the vest to inflate I had found that if I forget to disconnect it before getting of my bike I feel a gentle tug and nothing happens. Meaning I would attempt to get off of my bike and feel the tug of the rip cord with out it activating. Yesterday I got off of my bike in a hurry and quickly and boom. It inflated. I was of course surprised and wondered what I looked like in front of a gas station with my vest inflated. So it was frustrating but I was also pleased that I finally got to verify that it actually works. Which was something I have been wanting to do. So it activated as expected. Took a few minutes to deflate. And now I wish that I already had a back up co2 cartridge. I do recommend this air vest.
