The big advantage of the Helite Turtle 2.0 is its universal applicability, you only need one vest for the whole season, regardless of the outside temperature or the country you are travelling to.
The special feature of the Turtle Airbag Vest is its construction. The high-quality SAS-Tec back protector lies like a turtle shell over the airbag. In addition to the protection provided by the airbag, point loads are distributed and absorbed over the entire airbag in the back area. The protection is therefore many times higher than with a standard airbag.
Features:
mechanical release, thus maintenance-free
Airbag capacity: 17 - 24 litres
Airbag filling time: 80 - 100 milliseconds
unlimited trigger number
SAS-Tec back protector
Specifications:
What the Turtle offers you:
17 - 24 litres of protective volume for neck, spine, thorax, pelvis, coccyx, head, collarbone and internal organs
a long service life, due to high-quality workmanship
individual adjustment of the width at all 3 buckles
different colours and sizes
ergonomic fit
large armholes for optimal fit
What was improved in Turtle 2.0:
soft collar, without velcro fastener
the trigger mechanism, as well as the capsule are now concealed and no longer visible, thus also more protected
the design was revised, the black and coloured vest now also has reflective stripes
more robust buckles are used, which can be opened more easily with gloves
airbag technology:
The Turtle 2.0 continues to provide optimum protection. The airbag technology was adopted unchanged from the predecessor model. You can find out more about airbag and turtle technology on the Helite information page on airbag technology.
Protection:
the SAS-Tec protector in combination with the shock-absorbing air cushion ensures optimum shock absorption and protection against punctures
very high abrasion resistance due to 600D textile material to protect the airbag chamber
SAS-Tec EN1621-2, comfortable back protector
Size Guide:
To determine your size, we recommend to take measures in a t-shirt or a thin sweater.
Well made nicely fitted vest as I bought the large size and it is comfortable to wear. It is easy to adjust the straps and fits nicely over my jacket.

This vest is easy to wear, even with a coat on. Very easy to adjust and you won't even feel it during your trip. It seems like it's made of high quality materials. The strap is easy to installs.

I'VE GOTTEN WHAT I WAS LOOKING FOR WITH HOPES THAT IT WOULD NOT BE REQUIRED IN FULL FUNCTION, EVER. I FEEL MUCH SAFER.
