Hit-Air Motorcycle Airbag Jackets - Revolutionise the way you ride.
The Hit Air GS-3 Jacket is a short riding jacket, incorporating a full airbag system (see images tab) into the design of the jacket.
It is a riding jacket of superb functionality, including good visibility and mobility.
The GS-3 boasts a full covering of CE approved armour to the shoulders, elbows and back, as well as a detachable quilted liner.
It is also warm and waterproof, making this airbag jacket suitable for use in all weathers.
Available in yellow, grey or black, in a range of sizes from Small to 3XL.
So, how does it work?
The jacket has a tubular airbag strategically placed to cover all major impact zones or vulnerable areas of the torso. The gas canisters are just 60cc or less, and are activated to inflate the jacket by a cord pull.
This cord is attached to the bike at an adjustable length depending on the bike/rider. Upon impact, as the rider leaves the bike, the cord is pulled and the jacket inflates in less than half a second.
Can it be pulled accidentally, or by someone else on purpose?
The gas canister is only triggered when the cord has been pulled by a force of approximately 35kg. That is the equivalent of a 4.5 stone child hanging from the cord. So, in answer, the cord can be pulled unintentionally, but you will probably notice and stop the inflation before it actually happens.
And what about spare parts?
Yes, replacement cords and canisters are available at a small extra charge (approximately £20). If inflated but not damaged beyond use, the jacket can be de-flated and re-used as normal.
