Verified Customer Reviews for Ixon IX Airbag U04
Very Comfortable w/ Good App
13 Aug 2025 by Chris
This wasn't reviewed but took a punt as was affordable and from a good brand. The vest itself is non-intrusive and comfortable, consider sizing for you exactly as the more snug the fit, the less you notice it. Connectivity via the app is great, battery on the vest lasts at least 4/5 ride outs and looks good too. Hope to never actually 'test' it as such, but so far I'm impressed and is doing what it needs to in style and comfort.
