Great customer service and great product
18 February 2022 by Ralph H
Having researched the product, I looked for the best price and somewhere I could try one on.
I called SBS and they were excellent in sending 2 sizes to my nearest store for me to try before I buy. They arrived the next day and the service in the Reading store was equally good. Very relaxed and helpful, as well as directing me to the certificate online to help with getting the CO2 cannister through airport security, as I needed to take the vest out to Spain for trackdays.
The vest itself is great on track and not restrictive at all. It also gave me more confidence on the bike that I had that added protection, especially when another rider had a big high-side and his airvest helped him walk away from it relatively unharmed! The only issue is that the vest is the latest model, but the manual was not the updated version. This caused confusion as it flashes pink when it's operating, whereas the manual stated it should flash green! A quick call to the UK Helite support number and the confusion was clarfied.

Be careful to buy the correct replacement cartridge though, as the earlier vests use a different one.

The e-GP Air has been specially developed for riders. This electronic wireless model provides ultra-fast fall detection and excellent protection of the vital parts. The airbag integrated into the vest absorbs shocks and stabilises the body from head to tailbone. It offers optimal protection of the neck and covers the vital parts (thorax and back) having the biggest airbag protection volume on the market: between 17 and 28 liters (according to the airbag size). Front and back body armour is integrated for a double turtle effect! Impact forces are distributed over the entire airbag, significantly improving energy absorption and reducing the risk of intrusion. The e-GP Air airbag integrates the easy to use Helite electronic system. Simply press the button three times to switch the system on or off. The 60cc e-cartridge deploys the airbag in the event of a fall. It is easily and quickly installed and replaced by the rider. The CDU sensor integrated in the vest follows and analyses the motorcyclist's motion in context. In the event of a fall, it automatically triggers the airbag before impact.

Very strong abrasion resistance is afforded with leather (cowhide 1,2 mm) plus foam to protect the airbag chamber. If damaged, the leather sliders on the back can be easily replaced thanks to the hook and loop system. Attention has been focused on aerodynamics with a space for the suit's hump. Thus, the vest fits over any leather race suit. A tight body fit is assured with the stretchy leather sides. Helite use a stretchy material on the neck and shoulders in order to have optimal protection when the airbag inflates. The vest is easily openned with gloves and is adjusted via hook and loop and stretchy material so the e-GP Air fits nicely over any suit. Helite use a red hook and loop to show the limits to closing the e-GP Air airbag.
