The big advantage of the Helite Turtle 2.0 is its universal applicability, you only need one vest for the whole season, regardless of the outside temperature or the country you are travelling to.
The special feature of the Turtle Airbag Vest is its construction. The high-quality SAS-Tec back protector lies like a turtle shell over the airbag. In addition to the protection provided by the airbag, 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.

mechanical release, thus maintenance-free
