    air bag vests

    they were renting and selling these at the CCS opener in Roebling.
    few riders near me were using them.

    what do you guys think?

    I think you'll get more use out of it than most others. Money well spent.

    I've seen a lot of vids with kids wearing them on the track?

    Re: air bag vests

    I'm wondering how it would affect the fitment of a suit for a rider who is using chest and back protection. Would this item require a rider to go up in suit size in order to stuff everything inside?

    You wear it over your suit, so size your gear as normal, buy a vest that fits your choice of gear.

    Re: air bag vests

    The vests I've seen are worn outside of everything else.

    It'd be nice to see some kind of a demo video. Not to mention some more info on if/how it can be reused once deployed, especially in the case of an accidental deployment.

    There are video reviews on YouTube. The vests use replaceable CO2 cartridges to inflate.

    Re: air bag vests

    They're very common over the past 5 years on the west coast. Some guys swear by them, others don't care. I never wore one so can't comment first hand.
