Airbag Vest Helite e-Turtle Black - Black

The Airbag Vest Helite e-Turtle Black is a 3-in-1 vest providing a revolutionary level of protection. The main advantage is the presence of inflatable airbag system, which can absorb impacts on the upper body and ensures effective dispersion of energy. Therefore, potential head impacts will occur in lower speed and with delay, as a result of which your head will be protected against traumatic brain injury. Moreover, the head and spine will stay fixed in a natural upright position so that neck vertebrae cannot get injured by hyperflexion. The vest is also equipped with a SAS-TEC Level 2 back protector which acts like a turtle shell. The result is increased protection against tearing and full dispersion of force over the surface. 

The Airbag Vest Helite e-Turtle also introduces an electronic, multi-sensor airbag system technology which includes several on-board sensors that analyze the situation in real time and allow 360° detection. The sensor integrated in the vest (CDU) follows and analyzes the movements of the biker in real time. The optional fork sensor (SDU – not included) detects impacts on the motorcycle. When a fall or accident is detected, the airbag inflates automatically before impact.

For high comfort, the Airbag Vest Helite e-Turtle is equipped with inner mesh for better air circulation and the system of buckles and Velcro straps for easy size adjustment and easy fastening with motorcycle gloves on. Another practical feature is its large reflective applications which increase your passive safety while riding in poor light conditions.

The vest has been tested and certified by Alienor Certification – a French testing facility which provides PPE (Personal Protective Equipment) testing.
