Air Vests

[KiowaEagle_imp]

I’ve been using the Helite for about three years. I have no experience with the Klim or any other brand.

With the Helite, fastening and unfastening the tether is really no different than buckling and unbuckling the seatbelt in your car, or the strap on your helmet. It becomes second nature very quickly. All else considered equal, I honestly wouldn’t let that bias your decision.

However, I can’t imagine trying to fasten it while riding. It’d be like trying to fasten your helmet strap with one hand.

I have had the Helite Turtle air vest for probably 5 years and love it , I NEVER forget to undo it when I get of the bike , does your friend forget to switch of his bike when he stops , if he does you need smarter friends .......

No, Joe's a good rider as others on this forum can attest. I only know of him forgetting that one time. It's my forgetfulness I'm worried about.

But beyond that the electronic vest is also attractive to me in that not all accidents are you thrown off the bike in which case a corded vest will not deploy.
