If it feels like armour in your bike kit then the law demands it is actually proper, protective armour. Here's how to tell how effective your impact protection is...
All good, felt a bit complicated to register and set up but YouTube be videos sorted. Checking chest size for over jacket fitting paid off as all good.
Been considering a smart vest for a while, so pleased I finally purchased one, chose to go down the route of going one size up and wearing over the top of my various jackets. really pleased with fit and function, and the ease to set up, and as always sportsbikeshop's brilliant order service. Thank you.
Ease of purchase and speed of delivery first class. Product arrived in good condition with clear instructions. Use of product good and quality excellent. The Dainese jacket feels like a heavy waistcoat but it's comfortable and has a premium feel to it. Material is tough and feels resistant. D3 armour is light and flexible. Jacket charges up in a couple of hours and is easy to out on and activate. I hope I never have to report on how effectively the airbag deploys.
I would wear hi viz clothing anyway but having extra safety built in for me is plus. Battery life is good and it activates automatically when you start riding. Clever tech
Snug fitting jacket (I'm 85kg, 6 foot high). Reasonably easy to charge up (Sportsbikeshop send the jacket out with the system fitted). Obviously Hope never to have to use it. Must be worth the investment. Make sure the 2 studs clip together at neck to activate the system. Neat colour code and buzzing sensation when getting onto bike (ensures you know it's activated). Impressive bit of kit.
Does what it says on the packaging hope I never have to use it though, want to add the service I received from Sue and the team at the Milton Keynes branch was very helpful I would of gotten the wrong size had it not been for Sue's knowledge and expertise
This is my second airvest and my first without a tether. The extra sense of freedom this gives is great though there was nothing wrong with my old Helite - except I could not fit the tether to my new scooter! Now I can ride anything fully protected. The jacket sizing is clearly Italian - Large was far too small for me and I ended up with XXL - but Sportsbikeshop are great at returns so no big deal. The manual for the vest tells you how to connect up the wiring but mine came fully wired up - either it was a return or Sportsbikeshop do this for you, not sure which but not really important. Overall extremely pleased with it.
Excellent piece of protective gear. Allows you to remove the existing back protector from your jacket. It is rather heavy but once on you don't notice the weight. it recharges via USB and is easy to set up. Recommended.
V. Impressed. My jackets are on the loose side so easy to fit under abut also adjustable to go over for touring and extra visibility. Pick the size above your jacket. I though I would be using the light system for status but nope the buzzer is fab. Buzz it's on, another buzz when you get on the bike and it's armed. Buzz when is disarms when you get off. Don't want it going off when you slip on some idiots diesel. You always know. Clever little feature. Because it's so "light" (just like when you wear a chunk armoured jacket) an easy, I wear it all the time even for pop to the shops trips. Tech is expensive but better to pay now than regret whilst in pain or worst later
The Smart Jacket offers maximum protection. This vest leaves you free to live your life on two wheels, without compromises. It is lightweight, well-ventilated, foldable, and water-resistant. It can be worn over or under any other jacket or outfit and it offers the safety of the Dainese D-air intelligent system, the same one used by MotoGP champions. The airbag is now truly for everyone. This vest combines all the power of the latest-generation Dainese D-air and the convenience of an easy to wear garment, now you can have D-Air protection for both your leather and textile jacket.

If wearing the Smart Jacket over an existing jacket, we would recommend opting for the same size, as the Smart Jacket is made of a special stretch fabric and comes with a convenient waist adjustment system. If wearing under a jacket, please opt for your standard chest size and allow an extra 2 inches between both garments.

This would be fine, you would need to just be careful not to stitch into the airbag.
