Icon U05 Airbag

Bought this I though this the best value, as the In & Motion subscription is not expensive and the vest can be recharged and go again after a deployment. Having got it I am impressed with the quality. Hopefully never need it but why wouldn’t you ride without one nowadays as they are readily available and cheaper than a top end helmet.
