Helite Turtle 2 Airbag Vest Black

The tether system of the vest is awesome. The electronic version sounds appealing but it's very easy to forget to keep your battery topped off, which can lead to a life/death case! The tether is low tech and simple. The clip can be a bit tough to undo, but it's a compromise for safety!

This vest is easy to use and offers great crash protection. The electronic model is not compatible with a pacemaker so I chose the manual one. Plus the manual one is easy to test and apppears to be more reliable.

Helite airbag vest offers great protection and simple use through the tether system. Looks great in black and helps feel safer while riding. The fit is comfortable and gives a peace of mind while riding.

The Helier Turtle 2 is the best airbag vest I would say currently. It is refillable and non-electronic. If it does deploy (hopefully not), I know I’ll be well protected and more than likely to survive the fall.

I just received my Helite airbag, and couldn't be happier with my first experience purchasing from Motorstorm. It took roughly three weeks to arrive in the US, but I expected delays this time of year. My greatest uncertainty with this purchase was sizing, so I'll offer my details in hopes someone can benefit. I'm 6'3" and 190lbs, so on the slender side. The normal Large fits a bit loose in a t-shirt, but it could be done if this is desirable. My torso is long, however the Large still covers everything from my seat up to my neck. With my size 54 textile jacket, the Large fits perfectly in just about every dimension. Hope this helps with regards to sizing because I read some people were accidently purchasing the Large-L thinking it represented long.

Amazing product amazing price can't wait to try it out! Helite vests are one of the best investments someone can make. This product is literally something that saves people's lives. What more could you ask for?

Safety first. . . i'm a little older and a lot wiser than I once was and can say for sure I wouldn't ride without it. I have one friend who didn't in are younger days and he's been in a wheel chair ever since. I really believe that this could have saved him from such injuries. In any case, give it a try. I liked it so well that I decided to purchase a full on Helite Jacket.

The tether system of the vest is awesome. The electronic version sounds appealing but it's very easy to forget to keep your battery topped off, which can lead to a life/death case! The tether is low tech and simple. The clip can be a bit tough to undo, but it's a compromise for safety. Just adding that the sizing is a little weird so maybe this helps. I'm 6' @ 230-235ish and it fits great over a mesh jacket and a winter jacket. it's a little tight with the winter jacket and the liner in it but perfect over the mesh. Lots of adjustment. Only complaint is the collar can push on your helmet if you are really crunched over on a sport bike. not bad, but you know it's there. On my other bikes I don't notice it. Also wish that extra lanyards were more easily available and not quite so expensive, but i like running a short leash on it and not having to worry about charging something up.

I have one of these vests and it makes me feel safe riding with it. I have seen accidents where the rider would have been better off had they been wearing one of these. Getting one for my son now. It is easy to wear. it is light enough not to be uncomfortable. it attaches to the frame of the bike very easily. Highly recommended.

Mariano Rodriguez / 21-11-2023

I know that safety is great, reading all of the reviews. But I was concerned about how comfortable it really was. Once you put it on, you don't even remember you have it. Also you can wear it in Summer.

This thing fits great, and will GREATLY enhance your sense of security on the road. I'm in between a medium and large in t-shirts, and the medium size fit perfectly over my reinforced (thick) leather jacket. The size chart is WAY off. I recommend going with your actual shirt size. The buckles can open up wider if need be, but the length in the back is more important.

I decided to start writing again after years away (I have 2 kids and took a break while they were young). I knew that if I was going to start riding again it would have to be with a safety mindset. After hours of research I found motorcycle airbags specifically this airbag. The brilliant thing with this airbag is that if it deploys you can refill the canister on your own without having to send it into the manufacturer. It uses a tether instead of a gyroscope. For what it is it's a great value. The vest is very comfortable and very adjustable and fits over my riding jacket. I suggest you purchase a few refills for the CO2 canister. I have never had to deploy this airbag but I like having a refill available if I do, the refill is in my tool kit on the bike. Very happy with the purchase and very happy with Motostorm.

I ordered this vest in black a few months ago. You will get used to wearing it very quickly. Connecting & disconnecting the tether becomes routine like putting on a seatbelt. I have read many reviews from riders that have deployed this vest in an accident and all were extremely positive about the performance of this piece of safety equipment. I have been letting my wife wear it when riding two up. Time to get a second vest.

Thomas Magri / 18-10-2024

Ordered online, was a little confused at the payment part, was not sure if payment went through. It did twice and they reached out to me within 24hrs to confirm 2 orders or one and refunded the same day. Item was as described and arrive at my door in the USA within 2 days of order. Excellent service and price and would recommend, 5 star service. Thanks everyone at Motostorm.

David Miller / 05-12-2024

After researching the options for airbag vests over 2 hours, I've arrived at the Helite turtle vest as my purchase option. The other write ups confirm that it's a light weight, protective vest which might save a life, in a crash or fall. Wish you the best.

Benjamin Mallary / 13-12-2024

I have been planning on purchasing one of these vests for some time now. The helite 2 mechanical version is my first choice due to the simplicity and no high tech electronics involved. A friend purchased one from moto Storm and loves it. He referred me to this company and it's a no-brainer for me to purchase from this company. I will be going on a ride this Spring with my brother and considering purchasing him one as well as a gift.

Gary Catlett / 18-02-2025

I definitely recommend this product, easy to attach the tether to the bike, doesn’t need batteries and offers complete torso, back, chest and neck protection. Service from Motostorm was quick, easy and hassle free. Super quick delivery also, considering that Im on the other aide of the world.
