Not much point in complaining about the price of these...

...the Dainese for instance is cheaper than an ER visit for a broken collar bone, by far.

No, I'm not buying one. But if I was to start doing track days again, I'd sure give it serious consideration. If a touring suit had the technology, I'd have it on my list (yes, I've seen those jackets).

Very timely, as I noted "airbag" on one rider's suit watching Indy MotoGP yesterday and had no idea.

 

Will likely trickle down to touring equipment sooner rather than later I suspect.

They are already here.

Have been out for a couple years now at MUCH lower prices than the Dianese stuff.

I have the YS vest,thinking of getting the MLV-R for its smaller profile,as I already have HiViz in the body/sleeves of my jackets.

 

The vests are about $375,give or take,when you add to cart for discounted price.

 

Search youtube for videos,either Hit Air or Safermoto.

Even some video of deployment on track bikes!

 

No affiliation,just a customer.

I've seen the Hit Air videos before. Interesting stuff. I'd like to see the jacket in person. The tether idea certainly reduces the cost.

Not sure if they travel the whole Show circuit,but the are at the IMS shows in the fall and winter.

They were at Laguna Seca MotoGP,anyone see them at Indy GP?

Maybe contact them to see if they will be nearby.
