Verified Customer Reviews for Helite Turtle 2 Shell Inflatable Air Vest
Airbag technology
21 September 2023 by Richard B
As other reviewers have said, it is a bit heavy and awkward, and looks like you are going fishing.
I haven't set it off yet but it seems sturdy. The buckle is easy to do up, even after you forget and have to do it while rolling along.
It would be great it if it had a loop so it was easier to hang up on a coat hook.
Once you have tightened the chest straps it is harder to do the buckles up.

Better to be safe than sorry

Fortunately I can not give feedback on its use, but the quality reassures me it will work. I've worn it over my winter jacket and summer jacket and you can't really tell you have it on. As I have removed the back pad from both jackets, the vest makes it easier to put different jackets on knowing you have the protection

Brilliant product, surprisingly light and easy to fit to bike. Extra protection could save your life. I wear mine over an Oxford textile jacket and my fellow bikers did not know I was wearing one. Really impressed with it.

Simply amazing and life saving

After reading a lot of reviews I decided to go for the Helite turtle 2 however I couldn't find a review on how it performed during a accident.
On the first day of wearing this vest I was involved in a crash and I think it saved me, I sustained 3 broken ribs and I really believe I would of been seriously injured or worse if it wasn't for the Helite air vest. So for me it's worth every penny and when I get back on my bike I will never leave home without it. So don't consider if this investment is for you, just buy it knowing that you will have a better chance of survival, we spend hundreds of pounds on leathers/textiles, helmets and gloves so it makes sense to protect our vital organs in our chest and back.

I've been thinking of purchasing one of these for a while, and looked into the various ones available from a host of suppliers. Sportsbike Shop offered the best price and as usual delivery was very prompt. The Turtle 2 is a great bit of kit, and offers riders superb protection if the worst should ever happen. Even after it has been deployed , it can be reused by simply fitting a new co2 cannister.
Will not go anywhere biking without it now.

Nice and simple, no charging or potential electronic issues, just pull it on and off you go again, again and again! If it does go off, DIY fix in a new gas bottle, simple!

Rated good at the moment as haven't had to deploy and hopefully never will.
Sizing I am a 46 textile, 44 leather jacket and 5'11, picked an XL normal length which fits perfectly over both due to adjustable straps.
Great service from SBS as usual.

It's not cheap but if it am able to avoid injuries if I crash then it's worth the price. I wear it everywhere, blends in nicely with my leather jacket and gives me assurance while riding.

I have been looking at buying an airbag vest for a while, after much thought I bought the Turtle 2, it's fantastic. Fit is great and easy to adjust if needed. I wore it over my normal bike jacket during the heat wave and didn't really notice the difference, yes I had all the vents open on the jacket but I would have done that anyway in heat. The airbag gives a peace of mind.

Peace of mind for me and family!

Thankfully cannot comment on effectiveness. Easy to use, barely noticeable when on. Click in like a seat belt. Check sizing carefully, I'm 5'9" 85kg not fat, Large for me fits over jacket easily. Will stow in a large top box. Got it following a friend of my wife's serious crash. Would have saved him from his type of injuries. Expensive but means more "guilt free" miles for me so that's worth it. Not that expensive when you consider the price of a good helmet, jacket etc? Well made and robust.
