Helite Roadster Airbag Leather Jacket Black 2XL NML

The Roadster leather blouson hardly differs visually from a leather jacket without airbag system. It has a fashionable cut, high-quality workmanship and can be worn all year round thanks to a removable thermal lining. The upper material is 1.2mm thick cowhide.

The leather jacket uses the Helite TURTLE airbag system. In this construction, the high quality SAS-TEC Level 2 back protector is placed over the airbag like a turtle shell. This means that, in addition to the protection provided by the airbag itself, punctual loads are distributed over the entire airbag in the back area and absorbed. The protection is therefore many times higher than with a standard airbag. In addition, the Roadster has KNOX protectors on the shoulders and elbows, which can be removed as an option.
The elaborate workmanship guarantees a long service life. The 17-28 litre protective volume (depending on size) provides protection for the neck, spine, rib cage, pelvis, coccyx, head, collarbone and internal organs.

The waistcoat is released via a ripcord that is firmly connected to the vehicle and is plugged into the waistcoat during mounting and dismounting. Accidental deployment by forgetting to release the ripcord when dismounting from the vehicle is very unlikely, as a force of 300Nm (30Kg) is required to deploy the airbag. By replacing the CO2 cartridge, the waistcoat is immediately ready for use again.

When triggered, the system has the optimum pressure after 80-100 milliseconds (depending on the size) to develop the full protective effect. 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. Even during the release process, when the full pressure has not yet been reached, important parts of the body are protected.
