Helite vests and jackets are also 100 per cent mechanical to avoid unwanted air-bag activation and changing batteries.

Helite Turtle 2 Air-bags include the brand’s patented design with an air-bag each side connected with a CE2 approved backplate that ensures the impact is absorbed and the energy dispersed.
A head strike is delayed and the brain decelerates sooner preventing many traumatic brain injuries, while the head and vertebrae stay straight in place preventing whiplash injury and hyper-flexion. Big reflective stripes also boost visibility. Once activated, replacing the cartridge just requires a new cartridge and with the help of an allen key it can be done in minutes.
