What is the difference between the TURTLE and the AIRNEST vest?
The Turtle is a 2015 airbag innovation from Helite. Helite relocated the back protector on top of the airbag versus underneath like the Airnest system is. This creates a "helmet shell" effect and proves to protect the back area much more efficiently, especially small intruding objects. The AIRNEST is the predecessor, easier to wear over a racing-hump it is still the first choice for riders that ride both on the road and on the track.
Are the airbag vests water resistant?
Yes, the airbag is water resistant. It was designed for outdoor use and can be exposed to wet conditions (rain, UV rays).
Can a Helite vest be washed?
Washing machine and dryer are prohibited. The airbag vest can be washed by hand without drowning the mechanical part of the system. We recommend that you energetically scrub with a brush in warm soapy water (no detergent, products may alter the fabric).
Is the airbag identical in all the Helite models?
The 100% mechanical Helite systems integrate the same airbag (models: TOURING, ROADSTER, VENTED, TURTLE VEST). The MEKATRONIK airbag and the GP'AIR model integrate a different airbag shape.
When sliding after a crash my Turtle airbag vest will not be damaged?
Helite uses very resistant and anti-abrasion material for its Turtle vests. The airbag is integrated in the vest; the textile of the vest will protect the airbag tubes. Additionally, the TURTLE vest has a back protector on top of the airbag, which also protects the airbag and from abrasion in general. We have hundreds of happy customers that reuse their airbag after they have fallen and slid, whether on the road or on the track. If the airbag does get damaged it will probably have saved you from fractures and/or bruises. HELITE is at your service in case your airbag needs a repair or check.
