Helite Airbag Vest Turtle 2 - signal yellow

The special feature of the TURTLE vest is its construction. The high-quality Sas-Tec back protector is mounted over the airbag like a turtle shell. This means that in addition to the protection provided by the airbag itself, 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. The inside of the vest features 3D Air Mesh for optimal ventilation. The width of the vest can be individually adjusted at all three closure buckles.

The great advantage of the airbag vest is its universal applicability. You only need a single airbag vest for the entire season, regardless of the outside temperatures or the travel destination.

The Turtle Airbag Vest is lightweight, compact, and always with you. Its elaborate workmanship guarantees a long service life. The 17-liter protection volume offers protection for the neck, spine, chest, pelvis, coccyx, head, collarbone, and internal organs. Helite drawing

The activation is done via a ripcord, which is firmly connected to the vehicle and is plugged into the vest when getting on and off. An unintentional activation by forgetting to release the ripcord when getting off the vehicle is very unlikely, as a force of 300Nm (30Kg) is required to activate the airbag.

By replacing the CO2 cartridge, the vest is immediately ready for use again. Upon activation, the system reaches the optimal pressure after 100 milliseconds to unfold the full protective effect. This time span has been determined based on years of experience by the company Helite and numerous calculations and tests to provide the optimal pressure to protect the body at the exact moment of impact. Even during the activation process, when the full pressure has not yet been reached, important body parts are protected.
