Saving Lives
Here at Helite UK we are immensely proud to say that we have knowingly saved numerous lives and reduced significant injury to many more.
We are frequently being told by doctors, paramedics, surgeons, chiropractors just to name a few that the Airvest HAS saved this person’s life….and they can’t quite believe it!!
They offer far greater protection than any standard motorcycle armour; it protects the thorax and spine from direct impact and supports the base of the helmet preventing neck injury by limiting hyper flexion/extension. This not only reduces the risk of only minor injuries but also life changing or life threatening ones too. Wearable airbag technology for motorcyclists should be seen as the current gold standard in protection!“

How Helite Airbags Work
Helite’s advanced airbag technology is designed to detect an impact or loss of balance and inflate in a fraction of a second — protecting the most vital areas of your body before you hit the ground.
Whether mechanical or electronic, every Helite system is built around the same life-saving principles:
1. Detection
Sensors or a lanyard system detect an accident or sudden loss of control.
2. Inflation
The airbag inflates in less than 0.09 seconds, providing full protection for the chest, spine, neck and hips.
3. Protection
The airbag absorbs shock and stabilises the head and torso to reduce the risk of serious injury.
4. Reset & Reuse
After deployment, simply replace the gas cartridge and your Helite airbag is ready to protect you again.
Helite airbags are trusted by thousands of riders worldwide
from professional athletes to everyday commuters – for their proven reliability and unrivalled protection when it matters most.

Why Use A Helite?
Helite was founded over 20 years ago. Initially created for the hand gliding and para-motor sporting industry due to their high accident rates. Very quickly, the members at Helite discovered that the airbag safety systems being implemented were the perfect safety device for bikers, horse riders and cyclists alike.
Since then Helite has been dedicated to implementing the latest and best technologies into our motorcycle airvests and horse riding jackets and vests. Keeping you safe at every possible opportunity.
