Airbag vest

[Tonopah]

Anyone tried one of these?

I did buy one and have been riding with it for a couple of weeks now. I typically wear either Rev'it Scirocco jacket and pants or Olympia Phantom one piece anyway but have added the vest as well. I had one get off a couple of years ago that resulted in separated ribs and figure that I might have come out of that one unscathed if I had been wearing the airbag vest at the time.

A coworker going to another office received one as a going away thing. Pretty sharp set-up. Much more wearable than I would have guessed.

I have a Hit-air vest too and I wish the Hi-Viz version had been available when I bought. I tend to wear it only in the winter and find it too hot in the summer despite the mesh.

I have had to use it 3 times on the race track, 2 high sides and 1 low side all at 60 mph +. All the injuries I had were a bruised left elbow and a bruised right hip. Was back at work Monday no problem
