PROTECTION
AIRBAG PROTECTION
-
Largest airbag volume on the market; between 17L and 28L (Vest size dependent).
-
Once inflated the Airvest stabilises the head, neck and spine of the individual.
-
Minimises the possibility of hyperflexion/extension and whiplash injuries.
-
Stabilises and protects the internal organs.
-
Ensures efficient spinal alignment providing support & rigidity to the trunk and spine.
-
Superior inflation speed; 0.094s: faster than the blink of an eye!
TURTLE TECHNOLOGY
-
Breakthrough innovation; 4x more protective than a normal standalone airbag.
-
Turtle technology refers to the placement of back protectors on the outside of the airbag on front and rear panels – creating a double “turtle-like” protective shell.
-
When a force is applied to the air vest the back protector disperses the energy across the airbag; significantly reducing the transmitted force to the user.
-
The turtle effect is capable of delivering 50 times less transmitted force therefore significantly reducing the chance of injury.
BACK PROTECTION
Level 2 integrated back protectors; front and back.
TRIGGER SYSTEM
-
Mechanically activated via the use of a detachable lanyard system.
-
No special tools or technical knowledge required to install lanyard on the motorcycle.

Has the benefit of avoiding unexpected airbag activation and the hassle of changing batteries.

Simple installation system meaning you can be back on the track in less than 2 minutes.

Frequently Asked Questions
It is important to choose the right size of your airbag for optimal protection. For this, we advise you follow our size chart. Hint: measuring your back is important and a good indication to finding the right size. Please note that this Airbag Safety Vest should always be worn over your normal riding gear. You should therefore only take your measurements whilst wearing your equipment.
All replacement canisters can be purchased from our canisters section found in the main menu.
All replacement lanyards can be purchased from our lanyards section, found in the Motorcycle Lanyards section in the main menu.
Yes, as long as the airbag is in good condition with no holes or tears. It’s easy to do, you can reset the system in under 2 minutes, without sending your airbag system back to us. You simply need to replace the CO2 canister with a new one, available in our canisters section. Please read the manual and see the videos section on this page, showing how this is done.
No, once it is used you will need a replacement. All replacement canisters can be purchased from our canisters section found in the main menu.
All our airbag safety vest systems come with a 2 year warranty. You can extend this if you register the product within 3 months of purchase and have it serviced by us at the end of the first two years. This will give you an additional two years of warranty.
- Bus, train, car:
No constraint. For electronic models, remember to turn off the vest when you take this type of transport with your vest.
- Plane :
You may encounter some difficulties with the security services regarding the CO2 canisters used to inflate the airbag. According to the regulations (IATA Regulations – see download), you are authorised to fly with 2 gas canisters (the volume must be less than 200cc), in the cabin or in the hold. Even if the regulations allow it, it is possible that the security service or the airline refuses to let you board with it. We strongly recommend that you print the “IATA Regulations” and show this document to the security service or the airline during the control if they ask for more explanations. In any case, it is the airport security service and the airline that will make the final decision whether or not to accept the airbag on board.
Often each airline will have their own advice pages online, it is worth printing these out also as supplementary documentation.
