Turtle 2 Airbag by Helite Helite airbag technology - the future of motorcycling safety gear is now in Australia! Helite airbag vests are a helmet for your body! Helite's patented "Turtle" airbag protection can save you from serious injury or it might even save your life. You might have all the usual gear on and not have a scratch on you - BUT you have broken bones and injured internal organs because Kevlar and great gear doesn't protect from the impact of hitting the ground, a tree or guardrail! Already have a great riding jacket? No worries as the Helite "Turtle 2" Airvest is practical, lightweight and discreet and fits over your jacket – you won't even know you have it on. The vest guarantees premium protection without losing any freedom of movement. Helite vests and jackets are 100% mechanical to avoid unwanted airbag activation and changing batteries. Helite Turtle 2 Airbag advantages Helite's patented design with an airbag each side connected with a CE2 approved backplate ensures the impact is absorbed and the energy is dispersed The head strike is delayed and the bran decelerates sooner preventing many traumatic brain injuries The head and vertebrae stay straight in place preventing whiplash injury and hyper-flexion Big reflective stripes Turtle 2 provides direct protection for your: neck vertebrae thorax hips abdomen tailbone + Indirect protection for your: head liver lungs pancreas heart collarbone CO2 Cartridge The size of the CO2 canister is proportional to the size of the airbag. The canister is the only component that needs to be replaced after inflation of your air vest. An additional protective PVC Plate and foam is placed behind the canister so that it cannot injure the rider. Fitting Instructions The Turtle 2 Airbag Vest should fit exactly the same as any other Helite Airbag as the product is designed to expand outwards on activation. You may consider upsizing this product by one size as we find the French sizing to come up a little smaller than we are used to here in Australia. The jacket can be adjusted accordingly using the various velcro straps. Accessories Every Turtle 2 comes with a canister and lanyard attached – extra lanyards or canisters can be bought separately.
