Seems well built and without the back protector in my jacket was not even noticed. Some good parts are the auto off function (turns on when you pick it up and beeps), in addition to the button on the back (near the lights). A third switch to turn it completely off when control is removed from the vest. Just an additional layer to add when gearing up. It will add heat, but with the front of the airbag vest partially unzipped, the mesh outer jacket I wear felt about the same as before. The bonus was the jacket felt more stable in high wind as the back protector was part of the slightly more snug fit of the vest.
Not sure how I feel about the lack of water resistance (just two days ago was riding in a t-storm downpour). Going to lease for now. maybe an update will have a sealed Tron box.
The manual said not to go all hooligan after adding the vest - I didn't listen, see - they kind of brought it up, right? Also just added the auto-tune module for the power commander and had to work all RPM's, just HAD to ;-)
