Comprehensive protection designed for the demanding rider
The Airjacket vest goes beyond simple torso protection: every vital zone of the upper body benefits from optimized coverage in the event of a fall. Thanks to its integrated airbag system, it deploys a protective cushion in an instant, surrounding the spine, chest, ribs, and abdomen. This device absorbs the shock’s energy, effectively reducing the risk of serious injuries—both front and back.
- Support and absorption: Upon activation, the airbag envelops the spine and rib cage along their entire length, reducing impact to the vertebrae, from the lower back to the tops of the shoulders.
- Lateral and ventral protection: The airbag acts as an inflatable shell, safeguarding vital organs (lungs, liver, spleen, ribs) while stabilizing the upper body to minimize dangerous twists during a fall.
Ultra-fast deployment technology and official certification
The effectiveness of an airbag vest depends on two key criteria: speed and reliability. The Helite Airjacket is engineered to react instantly to any fall. Connected by a tether to the saddle, its mechanical system triggers in under 0.1 seconds—well before ground impact.
Every component—from the cartridge to the outer shell—complies with the strictest French and European standards, proof of its durability and impressive energy absorption. NF S72-800-2021 Certification: this accreditation confirms that the Airjacket has successfully passed tests for impact, inflation speed, and integrity of protected zones. It also guarantees the vest meets European regulations (89/686/EEC), whether you compete at the highest level or ride for pleasure.
The airbag is fully resettable and reusable after activation to ensure ongoing safety.
Unparalleled freedom of movement and comfort
More than just equipment, the Airjacket airbag vest - Helite naturally follows the rider’s every move. Its open design and ventilated structure mean you’ll never feel restricted, even during demanding rides or in hot weather.
- Ergonomic cut: Large arm openings leave shoulders and elbows free, promoting full mobility in every discipline.
- Customizable adjustment: Three strong Velcro straps at the front allow a precise fit to your body shape and clothing thickness. Whether you’re wearing lightweight summer clothing or a winter jacket, the vest adapts and adjusts in seconds to ensure support and efficiency.
- Technical textile: The polyamide outer fabric protects efficiently against weather, friction, and dust. Seams are designed to withstand inflation stress without stretching.
The vest is to be worn over all your outfits—shirt, polo, jacket, or coat—guaranteeing both your safety and comfort.
Versatile use: for all riders and disciplines
