After reading about the new airbag suits from AlpineStar and Dainese and from a horse rider about a tethered airbag vest, I did some research about such a vest for motorcycle riders and came across a line of tethered airbag vests by Hit-Air. The pros and cons that I can see:
PRO: - relatively affordable (when compared to the airbag suits) - neck vest appears to provide good neck protection (I not concerned about torso protection as I always wear a ForceField torso protector) - reusable - can be changed from one riding gear to the other (eg summer and winter)
CON: - tether (risk of forgetting to untether when dismounting the bike) - possible delayed deployment, especially during a lowside) - additional bulk
Does anybody have any experience with these airbag vests. How about SportRider doing a review/test of such vests.
