Hit-Air Motorcycle Airbag Jackets - Revolutionise the way you ride.
The Hit Air YS Vest is a mesh vest, incorporating a full airbag system (see images tab) into it's design..
It is a riding mesh vest of fantastic visibility and adjustability, made with careful attention to detail and a fabric texture. It is best used as an extra precaution with an additional jacket.
The YS Vest boasts a soft type back protector, and side adjusting straps for a perfect fit.
Perfect for any season!
Available in fluorescent yellow only, in a range of sizes.
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.
I am very pleased with with my Hit-Air Vest that I have purchased from Two Wheel Centre.
The quality of this product is very high and I would highly recommend this to anyone who may be looking at purchasing this vest.
Many Thanks to all staff at Two Wheel Centre who were very helpful!

Fantastic quality. Well worth the pricetag. By far the best motorcycle airbag vest I've bought.
