Default Purchased the Hit-Air MLV-Y Air Bag Vest

I bought the Hit-Air MLV-Y air bag vest. Hope I never have to use it but good insurance to have. Really ruins my Ducati Corse color scheme but the Hi-Viz neon yellow will be easier to be seen.

My photography (daughter) didn't tell me the back was a little crooked. lol

I have had my eye on one from safemoto- seems like an excellent idea and I think the hi-viz makes sense to be seen- cagers never see us- how is the weight? do you notice it on? looks good

put a giant neon yellow 46 on your bike... color scheme problem solved

I've had a Hit-Air mesh jacket for a couple of years. I like it.

Save your life or come in handy yet?

Neither life-saving nor handy yet, but not much heavier than other mesh, comfortable, and comforting. To me and the wife.

yeah you wear the gear for the comfort really- and we hope it helps if god forbid things happen so best to never find out if your helmet works either- one thing what the heck is 46 gotta do with?

I tipped my new Monster 1100 Evo over while performing a slow circle in my own driveway. I thought I was running out of space and like an idiot hit the brake and fell over. No big deal - Just little scratches on the bar end and mirror. The airbag vest inflated. So, it works. Easy to install a new CO2 cartridge. The front-right side of the vest protrudes out because the CO2 cartridge is housed there. The Hi-Viz yellow is another great selling feature. Buy it.
