The vest likely does NOT come with a CO2 cartridge due to shipping issues for those cartridges. I think they can only be shipped by ground. Anyplace that sells inflatable life jackets will also sell the appropriate cartridge.

@@JohnnieV The hit-air vest does inflate and unfold around the neck and down the back, a flap at the bottom folds out during inflation covering the tailbone. Personally I'm not convinced it will inflate fast enough to provide protection from the first strike against a car or the ground but better safe than sorry.

The vest looked like it took a bit to completely fill, but the collar seems to have instantly inflated. That's the part that's going to butt against your helmet and brace your neck.

It's false confidence. People who wear ppe drive faster than they're capable of because they feel safe. In actuality they are blocking mobility and visibility, while raising the center of gravity and adding dead mass for when they wreck. You are twice as likely to wreck while wearing a helmet but half as likely to die.

There’s different types of airbag vests, some like the one in this video, and the accelerometer kind that requires sending back to the manufacturer to refill, and as F9 said in his video, they could always say “sorry, this vest isn’t safe to reset, you’ll have to buy a new one”

alpinestars race vest has a 2 deployment limit before both co2 cartridges need to be serviced and replaced. So if you bought a cheaper version I honestly would toss it because I wouldn't know if the bladder of the vest can actually hold multiple deployments. I had the first Helite airbag vest when u first started riding and it was great. but I would spent $500-700 to have the A-Stars vest.

I just realized this video had NO ads, least we can do is give the video a thumbs up!

I also ride with an airbag vest, but I use the alpine stars model, however this one for the price looks very good.

Great episode! That vest looks perfect for my needs. I was looking at some others and they were running about a grand. So $200 + $25 cartridges seems downright reasonable.

The airbag vests are legit. I just took my motorcycle safety course and our instructor was talking about how it literally saved his life going at highway speeds and being thrown off his bike that was totaled. He had minor injuries and was able to go home the same day, the doctors were shocked and had no idea what the vest was until he showed them. Unsure what type of velvets he used though, I don’t think it was the one with the cable like this one, but maybe it was idk The point is that they’re legit.

There are electronic ones(aka you don't have to be tethered to the bike, but you have to charge your "air-jacket", so yeah...), but the problem with them is the fact that a lot of those on the market are crappy(they usually have a small inflate volume and don't inflate enough to block your helmet to prevent the neck injuries) also some have "subscriptions"(aka you have to pay a monthly fee for it to function) imagine how cool it would be to die because your subscription period expired or it just thought it expired!

Been loving this series. Have actually purchased a couple of the items from previous videos, and they've been working great. (bluetooth helmet mic/headset dealy & the alarm + fob combo) I'd probably split it and do legit 'stupid' accessories, and another video for potentially 'useful' accessories,... maybe scope out further than Amazon and really go hard in to the Wish and AliExpress stuff, but that's just me. I know I'd watch both, but can't speak for everyone. But yeah, one of the few series on KZread that I watch and keep up with atm.

The second time the back part of the airbag seemed to fill faster, so maybe if you get one of these you should do a test on it to loosen up all the bags and stuff and make sure it actually works at the same time.

Go to any metal worker shop and ask them to replace the 4.5mm cutting knife with a 5.9mm one (shouldn't take more than 5 minutes, I usually pay €5-10), also make sure you're using 45g CO2 cartridges, not the 35g ones. It'll fill up in about 0.1 second (which is what big US brands promise currently) instead of the 0.2-0.3 it takes stock. It's a trick known for over 10 years (airbag vests are used for various sports since the 90s and athletes modified them in many ways).

I’ve ridden with this Amazon vest for a year now and I really like it. Was worried a bit about it blocking air flow on a June trip through Mojave Desert, but it flows plenty. At first I also worried about setting it off accidentally, but the cord starts stretching a bit if you forget and it reminds you. Plus, I’m usually giving the bike a quick scan before I walk away, making sure I didn’t leave keys in the ignition, tucking away gloves and stuff, and you pretty quickly see the cable. Have compared side by side with much more expensive model and they look and feel similar in quality. Have NOT used it in a crash. Nice review btw.

Fortnine has his friend hit him with a golf club. The back is very well protected but the biggest protection is actually on your neck. If your neck snaps, you're dead. Combined with a full face, the airbag can protect your neck. This cheap-o airbag still seems to provide neck protection, even if back protection is subpar compared to the helite. That being said, I also the helite turtle and what convinced me was fortnine. Glad your MSF instructor demonstrated. He must be passionate to save lives. Helite should send him free refills to deploy since $20 each time he deploys it isn't cheap if you combine it by the number of classes they do per year.

You should go out for a long ride with all the stupid crap from all the episodes :D

I love when you said what happens if you just get off your bike cuz it made me think you know you're going to see somebody show up at a store and they're going to do that exactly they're going to forget and then everybody's going to be sitting there staring at them
