GBMy Turtle Vest and my Adventure Jacket… My Turtle Vest and my Adventure Jacket are essential components of ATGATT, depending on the weather. The jacket is just too warm when it is above 85º F. Regardless, when warm I wear my mesh armored jacket and Turtle Vest. I've seen the evidence that an air vest / jacket can be the difference between walking away with bruises and hospitalization with serious injuries.

GBHi-Viz Horrible Appearance. Hi-Viz Horrible Appearance. The hi- viz color is just horribly dirty. Additionally, nothing I’ve tried- that Helite recommended- helps whatsoever. The scuff marks from the seat, backrest, handling with gloves (?) seem to be permanently imbedded on the vest, both on the rear and front of the vest. Nothing seems to remove the dirt and scuff marks. A 2 year old vest looks like it’s 10 years old with no way to clean it to improve its looks. It’s an eyesore already!

GBSeems expensive but not really when compared to a broken back! I bought the vest so I could wear with various jackets. Good quality. I've been in an accident since but stayed on the bike so the vest didn't inflate. The weight of the vest feels natural after wearing a while. I see it as the equivalent of a seat belt in a car. A small price to pay to protect your back and neck against the unpredictability of the traffic/roads. Jim B

AUThe service I received was second to… The service I received was second to none, I ordered the women’s airbag jacket but sizing was an issue and the only option was to purchase and try the men’s jackets . Enrico was amazing and sent me a men’s jacket immediately, it was too big and he then ordered a smaller size from Europe . The dealings were professional and I was kept in the loop along the process . Although the jacket is heavy I don’t necessarily notice it riding . I look forward to the day when a true women’s size jacket can be made but in the meantime I settle for what I have . Highly recommend this supplier and true to their word . Christine
