Seems expensive but not really when compared to a broken back! I bought the vest so I could wear with various jackets. Good quality. I've been in an accident since but stayed on the bike so the vest didn't inflate. The weight of the vest feels natural after wearing a while. I see it as the equivalent of a seat belt in a car. A small price to pay to protect your back and neck against the unpredictability of the traffic/roads. Jim B

Crashed my bike in rural Utah Crashed my bike in rural Utah, but was wearing my helite and helmet. Only injury was my helmet hitting my jaw from the ground and cutting my lip. Helite deployed and worked perfect. Truly an exceptional piece of gear.

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.

Great customer service and quality Great customer service and quality. I own two helite vest and used one. It kept me from sustaining injuries. Highly recommend to all riders.

THIS VEST CAN SAVE YOUR LIFE!!! Bought the vest earlier this year. Unfortunately got into an accident a couple months ago while splitting lanes. The vest worked flawlessly, and I walked away with just minor bruising on my arms and legs, despite landing on the bike and rolling on the ground. I am 100% confident that I would have had broken ribs and spinal injuries without the vest.
