Activation:
The jacket is released via a rip cord, which is firmly attached to the vehicle and is inserted into the jacket when climbing on. This ensures maximum reliability. An unintentional release by forgetting the rip cord when getting off the vehicle is very unlikely, because a force of about 300Nm is needed to activate the airbag. By replacing the CO2 cartridge, the jacket is immediately ready for use again after a deployment.
17-24 litres of protective volume are effectively distributed around the wearer's upper body in the event of an accident, thus providing protection: neck, spine, thorax, pelvis, coccyx, head, collarbone and internal organs. In addition to providing immense impact protection, the airbag stabilises the entire upper body against twisting. Already after 80-100 milliseconds the optimal pressure to unfold the protective effect. This time span has been determined on the basis of Helite's years of experience and numerous calculations and tests in order to provide the optimum pressure to protect the body at exactly the moment of impact. Important parts of the body are already protected during the release process, when the full pressure has not yet been reached.
Protection:
SAS-TEC back protector EN1621-2
KNOX protectors on elbows and shoulders
Like all Helite jackets with built-in airbag, the jacket features the innovative Turtle system. Here the Sas-Tec back protector lies over the airbag like a turtle shell in the event of a deployment. The spinal column remains free of any load and punctual forces are effectively distributed over the entire airbag in the back area and absorbed there. The protection is therefore many times higher than with a standard airbag.
The jacket is really bulky, but I guess it should be. I'm 165cm and 55kg, and S is almost too big. Very large on arms and shoulder. Good under lining removable jacket. Its quite long, I have a bit of problem when sitting. Quality is what you pay for - sturdy but fine leather. The jacket is nice to wear even with being very heavy. I'm taking one point off because I feel it cpuld be more feminine cut.

The small fits well for my daughter. She is 5'6"slim athletic build 120lbs. Hopefully she will never need it but it is worth the cost just in case.
