Kundenbewertungen zu Helite Vented 2.0 Airbag Motorrad Textiljacke

I have the leather version of this jacket which I have been impressed with for the past 2yrs but needed something lighter for the summer. Wore today in 15-19C heat (with liner) and was very comfortable, felt like I wasn’t even wearing a jacket, not too cold in the lower temperatures but not too warm either. Real test will be next summer. Protective elements good and nice high vis markings. Only complaint is that the sides cannot be tightened in (especially considering they are not doing a female version at this time).

Well it say's it's vented and quite frankly it's really is.
Very high quality material, has mesh for venting.
the only down side its quite heavy, but ok.
it came with shoulder and elbows protection, so you feel like a knight really.

Die Jacke ist super. Sie ist sehr winddurchlässig und daher perfekt geeignet für die heißen Monate. Sobald es etwas kühler ist, wird es mit der Jacke schnell kalt. Daher wirklich nur im Sommer zu empfehlen. Das Innenfutter ist etwas kurz geschnitten, daher wird man wenn es regnet zwischen bauchnabel und Hosenbund nass. Ansonsten ist das Innenfutter super regendicht. Die Schutzfunktion ist die selbe wie bei der Touringjacke, die ich dirt achon ausprobieren musste und ich kann mit Überzeugung sagen, dass die Produkte von Helite wirklich einen premium Schutz für den Oberkörper und die lebenswichtigen Organe bieten. Absolut zu empfehlen.

Pricing
This jacket is priced correctly and most pople who enjoy motorcycling as a sport will be able to afford it.If you compare the airbag funcionality to other options available in the market but consider that in addition you also get a nice looking jacket then it is clear that it offers great value.

Ease of use
It is very easy to fix the tether to your motorcycle and to connect the jacket to the tether. Sure, you need to get used to doing it everytime but that comes with any new product.

Safety
I have not crashed on it but overall I think it is a fair statement that having an airbag around your torso and stabilizing your head/neck is much better than not having it.
Also you get abrasion resistance with the jacket and regardless of the airbag this jacket has integrated elbow, shoulder and back protectors.

Pockets
Basic pockets. Maximum a key, wallet and a phone. With that said I rather keep them empty while riding. They are quite small.

Looks of it
Personally I like it. It is not an agressive or flash look.

Technology - Mechnical vs Electronic
I've been debating for 12 months between AlpineStars tech air 5 and Helite and finally went for Helite version.
Look, I'm sure there are cons and pros to each version and you should do your resarch online about each option.
What really made it for me was the self replacable compressed air cartridge. Sorry but I'm not happy at all to pay 700EUR to alpine stars then have to send a vest every year for inspection, every 5 years for an overhaul and every crash(even if a simple one) to them. Plus, even here on FC moto website you can see reports of customers who had a false deployment with Techair 5, meaning you will need to waste time debating with Alpinestars who should cover the costs.

Fit
I'm 78kg and 175cm high and according to my body measurements size M or L would suit me. I called Helite CS and asked for an advise and was told M should do it. Wrong, I needed to send it back and go for L. If possible for you go to a shop to try it on.

Should be improved - Fit
I feel that the jacket is short.
My belt is always visible and the jacket does now in any way overlaps with the trousers. Also if I lift my arms immediately my belly becomes exposed.
It does not look strange if I'm standing up normally or sitting in thr motorcycle but in my opinion it should be just a tad longer, something like 3-4cm would be the right spot for me.

Overall I recommend this product.
The fit should be improved in future versions and more colour options should be made available.
I'm very happy but 5 stars for me means it is perfect. Almost no product is perfect.
