The built-in airbag system has 17-28 litres of protective volume (depending on size). These are evenly distributed around the entire upper body, protecting the neck, spine, rib cage, pelvis, tailbone, head, collarbone and internal organs. In addition to the immense impact protection, the airbag stabilises the entire upper body against twisting. Like all Helite jackets with a built-in airbag, the jacket has the innovative Turtle system. Here, a SAS-TEC Level 2 back protector lies over the airbag like a turtle shell when deployed. In addition, the jacket has protectors on the shoulders and elbows, which can be removed as an option.

Upper material (without airbag) : 100% polyester
Inner material : 100% polyurethane

The solution

The release is done via a leash that is firmly connected to the vehicle and is plugged into the jacket when climbing on. Unintentional deployment by forgetting to release the cord when getting off the vehicle is very unlikely, as a force of 300Nm is required to activate the airbag. By replacing the CO2 cartridge, the jacket is immediately ready for use again.

When deployed, the system has 80-100 milliseconds (depending on size) to reach the optimum pressure for full protection. This time span has been determined by Helite's years of experience and numerous calculations and tests in order to provide the optimum pressure to protect the body at the exact moment of impact. Already during the ejection process, when the full pressure has not yet been reached, important parts of the body are protected.
