Title: Anyone used and air bag safety vest?
Post by: duesouth on September 19, 2012, 08:17:15 PM
Curious about these. Normally I ride with a Acerbis pressure suit for me and my honey. Works great for both street and off road riding. I have two complaints. Even though it's mesh, it gets hot on really hot days (90F +). The other is the lack of neck support. Stumbled across this on my local news. Looks like a good alternative on hot days. And I wouldn't look like TRON when walking into a store.

It's costs some, $450us. Has an optional spine protector. http://www.hitairusa.com/lineup/ (http://www.hitairusa.com/lineup/)

Maybe next summer, as my wallet is a bit lighter after ordering a larger windscreen and passenger backrest.

That looks really awesome.  The only thing that would mess me up is forgetting to unplug myself before getting off my scoot...  I could just see stopping off quick at the store, hopping off while I was still plugged in and then tripping the rip cord.   HAHAHAHAHAHA  I'd sh** myself.

They thought of that too, you can buy replacement canisters...No plan on how to reload your wounded ego. Would be funny to see, bet you could get some conversations going over it.
