best personal safety gear after the helmet the Helite Air Vest or Jacket maybe the best personal safety gear you can buy. I own two one for me and one for the occasional passenger I might have.

2+ years with it, still great. I've been using the turtle airbag vest (motorcycle) for 2+ years. I tried it once with friends, and it was great. Then I dropped my motorcycle on my garage ramp. It activated perfectly. (cost me another CO2 cartridge only). I have the high-vis one, and as I ride ant night I like the huge reflective bands. Another rider in the same garage at work apparently had an accident that totaled his bike, but his helite jacket activated and he had no real injuries. so quite nice.

The leather jacket is quite heave but… The leather jacket is quite heave but that's what it is expected. Air flow is excellent for summer ride. The only complain I have is that the leather around zipper head area curl up after a few weeks. Looked ugly. I hope it doesn't affect the function of the air bag.

WORTH IT! Very well built vest. Super comfortable - even for a guy who's 6'5" tall and 300+ lbs. When I'm riding, I don't even know i'm wearing it! Customer service is great bar none! I definitely recommend Helite to anyone that rides anything.

If you accept that you are not immune… If you accept that you are not immune from a serious motorcycle accident, and find a pattern of trustworthiness in Helite reviews, just imagine the regret of waking up in a hospital bed, with time, depending on injuries maybe a lifetime, to wish you'd spent the money on a Helite vest. Mine arrived the day before a 3-week, 5000 mile ride. I barely noticed it on top of my jacket, and would not consider riding without it. Next level safety; no looking back. If you can afford it, get it.
