Peace of mind.... for her
07 August 2024 by Mike P
I took a long time to finally decide to buy the turtle 2 but I'm glad I did. When ordering I used the size guide but found that it was oversized so had to exchange for a smaller one. (chart is one size too big in my opinion). The vest fits fine now and has plenty of adjustment. I have worn it on hot days with an airivest and it doesn't present a problem with temperature. One of the benefits is you can remove the back protector from your jacket making it more comfortable. Once you have the vest on you soon forget about it. I did have to change the angle of my satnav screen because of neon reflection, but that's 1 small beer. I only need to charge it once every 3 or 4 long rides. It gives the Mrs some comfort to know I am wearing it too. Would I buy again? Yes I would.

Best for combining with summer textile hacket
16 June 2024 by Anonymous
Not had chance to test it anger and frankly hope never do. However here's a few thoughts starting with the big positive. I tried a few and found this was the best to wear over a vented jacket as it leave the most mesh exposed. Other offering may have better coverage especially over the shoulders but completely block ventilation. For me this is important during a trip to Spain. Less good is the on off button is hard to find so need to double check it's armed. Hence only 4 stars. Lastly I find the section over the shoulders comes up quite high so will need a neck buff. This was initially distracting but soon got used to it.

Comfortable, easy to use, slowish charging

Comfortable enough to wear, easy as just chucking it on and riding. The charging does take a few hours, but (seems) to last a while. Wish the batteries were swappable. Hope not to have to use it properly anytime soon.

Quick easy purchase

Superb bit of kit! Within 2 weeks of owning it i was unfortunate enough to be hit by a rock several mm's above the sensor which set it off. Incredible bit of kit having seen it work, incredibly reasuring seeing how huge it inflates to! I wear it every ride without fail! Its battery lasts weeks with a 35min commute each way, so very easy to use. I would suggest this to anyone!
Just simply undid the gas cannister, pushed the air out of the vest and fitted a new cannister - took all of about a minute and was ready to go again

Great, Easy to Use Safety Product
07 September 2023 by Kevin H
Popped into the Leeds store to try this on - I'm a 38 inch chest and went for medium. When putting it on for the first time it was obvious that the vest would provide excellent protection for body and neck in case of an off. The back protection in particular is phenomenal, with a large solid protector on top of the airbag. Despite the weight it's very comfortable to wear, and the slight increase in warmth during summer rides is well worth it given the added safety.

First class convenient safer addition
18 June 2023 by Julian K
Extremely impressed with this V2 Helite E vest. Easy to put on and operate. It gives confidence. It's also comfortable and very well designed. Cost is high but if you can afford it I would recommend fully. Rather like a helmet. Is your head worth 100 or 800 pounds. Same with your back, neck, thorax. Professional users swear by them and they are not wrong.

Great Safety Garment.

Express delivery from SBS, as ever. Ordered the L-L size for a 46" chest, and plenty of adjustment when fitting over motorcycle jackets. Also, fitted the Helite fork sensor unit to speed inflation times, and provide protection when the bike is stationary. If in any doubt about the jacket sizes look at the item on Visor Shop website, which equates it to T-Shirt sizes. Excellent protective product, which I hope never to use!

Helite E-Turtle Electronic Inflatable Vest V2 - Hi-Vis
- 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
