    I had a deployment of my Helite Turtle on my way home from work a few weeks ago. An SUV merged into my lane and gave me a bump and I went down at maybe 25-30mph. No injuries, minimal damage to the bike, more rash/damage to my Aerostich than the Helite. $25 for a new CO2 cartridge and about 2-3 minutes with an Allen wrench and it was ready to ride again.

    More versatile than the full race vest as its stand alone unit and has street/race mode. plus price point.

    First report is fitting into the suit is different, getting the vest to sit correctly is more of a process at this stage..

    Re: Airbag Vests - recommendations?

    For the past year been wearing an Astars Tech Air vest. Fits well underneath my street gear, no complaints. Not so much on the track - worn for two track days and its difficult to get my leathers over it (even though I purposely bought the suit a little big) and when zipped up its uncomfortable. The vest hardware in the upper shoulder is the problem

    Vest is size Large, could probably squeeze into a Medium but I'm not sure it would help - that hardware between the shoulders would still be there.

    Any recommendations for a less bulky vest?
