Hit-Air MLV Airbag Vest – Motorcycle Safety Vest with Automatic CO2 Deployment – Lightweight, Reusable, Adjustable Fit – Unisex Protective Riding Harness

High quality, adjustable and comfortable! Comes with the leash (?) to attach (in my case) my saddle horn. I needed something to give me a soft landing and build my confidence back when riding after yet, another horse spooking fall. With much research and no guarantees of never be thrown again, this is an amazing safety addition along with my helmet. I know many riders of both horse and motorcyles wear these, and like those smart folks, i want safety first, fun second. Its pricey but worth every penny. High quality all the way around! *FYI~ I saw these sold on a horse product website for $300-$400 more because they added some knit polyester cover to make it look like a real vest so to speak.

Great product, I think it saved my life or perhaps kept me from getting paralyzed. Was wearing it at the track, racing my 1000cc 195HP Kawasaki Ninja. Cold weather, cold tire high sided. I flew up in the air at 80mph and landed upside down on my head, on the asphalt. Broken my neck, chipped some vertebrates on my back, cracked 3 ribs. Fortunately, the vest properly inflated and I believe it helped minimize some of the injuries and possibly helped to prevent my spinal cord from getting severed. Just make sure the CO2 gas canistered is armed (safety clip removed) and you have the arming cable snapped into the harness on the bike, otherwise it won't activate. First thing I did after getting out of the hospital 3 1/2 weeks later was to check to make sure the vest had inflated, because while recuperating in the hospital I couldn't remember if I had properly armed it. But yes, I did arm it. The EMT's cut it off my body, ruining the inflatable bladders. I wish they had just unsnapped it from my torso. Now, I have to go buy another one.

Best thing to get when riding horses. Protect your body and easy to use and see the rider with bright neon yellow.

Great Product!! Even better Company to work with! Very concerned about each client and keep you advised of all shipping progress.andReply immediately to inquiries and very nice and helpfulI'm 71 and been riding since 1963...This is the best new motorcycle accessory I've seen in years that not only works but makes logical sense!The Vest is superbly made and in my opinion "cheap life insurance."Every 'Biker' should wear one of these vests or jacketsI bought mine a little large so i could wear it over my Leather Riding Jacket..fits perfectly!Couldn't be happier with my purchase!I heartily recommend this Vest !

Just wanted to share my experience of having it inflate while getting of my bike. As it takes a decent amount of force to activate the vest to inflate I had found that if I forget to disconnect it before getting of my bike I feel a gentle tug and nothing happens. Meaning I would attempt to get off of my bike and feel the tug of the rip cord with out it activating. Yesterday I got off of my bike in a hurry and quickly and boom. It inflated. I was of course surprised and wondered what I looked like in front of a gas station with my vest inflated. So it was frustrating but I was also pleased that I finally got to verify that it actually works. Which was something I have been wanting to do. So it activated as expected. Took a few minutes to deflate. And now I wish that I already had a back up co2 cartridge. I do recommend this air vest.

i ordered this vest to ride a horse that died of colic before the item was delivered. i tried to cancel the delivery- that was not possible while it was out for delivery. the item arrived and i immediately tried to return the item in its unopened box. the response is that "the item is not returnable". neither amazon nor the manufacture will respond. Note- no where in the product description of the $599 item does it tell you that the item is "NOT RETURNABLE". I am now dealing with the loss of my horse and on top of that the additional insult of an insensitive, greedy, commercial enterprise. shame on you!

Got hit at roughly 40 MPH by an SUV and was able to walk away with zero broken bones or internal bleeding. What more can I say, buy & wear the damn airbag.

Make sure when you purchase this type of vest that you clearly see how its attached to the saddle. This one has a plastic think line with a weird screw open close plastic holder. Does not look secure or safe. Not able to return this product either.
