Life saver

Hope never have to use it. But fitting is perfect and comfortable. Feels like you been hugely. Very well made . Would recommend to try one. Alittle bit on the heavy side. When first wearing. But you soon don't notice it.

Safety must have

Great product. Makes every ride feel safe. I found the size guide too big and had to get the size smaller than stated.

Sizing
20 July 2024 by Peter M
Had trouble finding correct size information. I am 5ft 7 tall, 44inch chest, 36inch wast - medium size is perfect (lots of adjustment on straps). Fits over Revit Sand 3 XL easily. Really comfortable, much better than my Forcefield Sub 4 with better air flow and actually found this much cooler to wear. Back length and height are the most important measurements to consider (these are the only two measurements on the vest label itself). Feels lighter to wear than the back protector

Comfy passive safety until needed
03 June 2024 by Anonymous
Initial impressions are good, hopefully won't need to find out how well it works. Heavy but comfy to wear, the right side can feel a bit bulky due to the canister etc. Getting the right size from the size guide is tricky. I would advise using the Back length measurement as if it's too long it pushes up when sat on the bike. There's plenty of adjustment to chest size if you're between sizes like me.
Top service from SBS as usual.

Seems well made, not too heavy, hardly notice when on. Haven't crashed… hopefully it'll provide better protection if i do.

Peace of mind

I'm very happy with my purchase. At first it feels like it may be cumbersome but once on, it blends in and you don't know it's there.
The added safety rides, offering something like a 95% reduction in multiple injury types and reduction in the impact of crashes/accidents means my family doesn't have the same concerns for my riding. They're happy, I'm happy!

Early days but glad I've got one
05 March 2024 by Ian
Went for Helite vest as you can wear it over existing leathers and textile kit and you can replace cartridge without sending it back to manufacture. My brother wobbled his GS in a gravel car park with his mechanical Helite on which went off (Very funny) He always carries a spare so replaced cartridge in a couple of min. Only had my vest for a couple of weeks but ordered Medium and Large then returned large as medium seemed a better fit. SBS customer service second to none. A well made bit of kit and electronic option was the one for me. Also bought extra gas cartridge.

Great product hope I never need it

I've had air bags that go under jackets but want to use heated kit so can't use air bag with it, decided to by the helite over the jacket, originally went with the size as the size guide but it was to big, sent back and got the next size down which fits much better. Hopefully never need to use it.

Comfortable

I've only worn this once so far but didn't notice I had it on, it fitted over my safety gear well and gives a safe secure feeling. So far I am very happy.

An improvement to the fixed lanyard vest
27 April 2022 by David B
I made the decision to upgrade my vest with this electronic version from the fixed lanyard Turtle 2 vest i have. I also bought the fork sensor to add to the features and to justify the additional expense of upgrading. Sizing is the same as the original, easy to use and charge and i like the fact that this vest offers me the protection "on the bike" that the previous vest didn't. Ie it will trigger at low speed if rear ended and i'm still within distance to the bike that the lanyard version wouldn't. Don't ever want to make use of it but reassuring if i do.

Best Insurance and Technology you can get…
01 February 2022 by Mark
You hardly notice wearing this and it fills with added confidence everytime. Purchased the fork sensor too with the Sportsbikeshop having the best prices out there.
If you are unsure about one of these, you will feel relieved if it is ever activated…
Went for my usual size L as importantly, it has plenty of adjustment across the width of body and it has to cover quite close to the neck with no gaping gap so it aids a helmet from moving and causing neck injury in the event of activation.
Fast delivery as always, thanks SBS!

Helite E-Turtle Electronic Inflatable Vest V2 - Black
- Polyester with PVC coating construction
- 3D air mesh panels in back to promote air circulation
- Wireless activation
- CDU sensor integrated into vest
- Fits over any motorcycle garment
- 25 hour autonomy: about 1 week
- CDU sensor integrated into vest
- Large protection volume between 17>28L airbag
- Easy to re-activate by the rider within a few minutes at a relatively low cost
- Optimal protection of the neck and vital parts of the body (thorax, back, hips)
- Turtle effect giving better shock distribution plus risk of intrusion is reduced
- Optional Fork Sensor halves detection time (from 31 ms) and covers more accident situations (protection at a standstill and low speed)
Whether on-road or track, the motorcyclists' needs in terms of protection are constantly evolving. Helite is therefore continuously developing its products to better adapt them to the motorcyclist while ensuring a high level of protection. Helite's electronic airbag technology covers the road and track, the e-Turtle for the road and the e-GP Air for the track. Helite sees this technology as a real evolution in protection and detection for the motorcyclist.
The electronic airbag system by Helite comprises up to two onboard sensors that analyse the situation in real-time depending on the vest and rider preference;
• A sensor integrated into the vest itself (CDU): it follows the motion of the motorcyclist circumstances (included)
• An optional sensor to be placed on the motorcycle fork (SDU), paired with the vest sensor and detects impacts on the motorcycle (sold separately)
When a fall or accident is detected the vest inflates automatically. This multi-sensor technology offers a 360 degree detection and covers various types of accidents: from 0 km/h, at low speed and regardless of the angle of impact.The CDU sensor is directly integrated into the vest. For better comfort, the electronic system is situated next to the e-cartridge. The optional fork sensor allows a more global analysis and provides better protection: it divides the detection time by two and covers a lot more dangerous situations: at standstill or at low speed.
Height - Measure from hte floor to the top of your head
Chest - Measure horizontally around the fullest part of your chest, under the armpits with your motorcycle gear on
Waist - Measure horizontally around your abdominal, at its deepest body point with your motorcycle gear on
Hip - Measure the circumference, from pelvic bone to pelvic bone, at the widest part of your hips
Back - While standing upright, measure the distance between the lower neck and the tailbone
