Hit Air Vest Motorcycle crash protection

[gpd323]

Anyone familiar or have this vest? It seems to be a good device overall. I have the motorcycle specific in black with reflective material in my AMZ basket.

But curious if any of you have one?

Would be interested ,is there a brick and mortar store to view these or custom built?

One guy on the local forum says he been using it for years. Never had to try its effectiveness. Says its unobtrusive. I too would like to try one on first over my gear.

I can find no local stores in the Tacoma  :beerchug: Seattle area that carries this product. As for sizing it covers a wide range of sizes in the 2 sizes available.

Hi,
        At those prices, I think I will just use my Motoport Gear with the "armour"!  :great:

Just sayin! ;D

I can see me now, hopping off the bike and "Wham!, Michelin tire man!"
Forget to unplug electric gear all the time.....

it takes 66 pounds of pulling force to trigger the vest, no way your going to do that just getting off the bike and walking away. They indicate this in the info area.  :beerchug:
