The Vest Test - Klim Ai-1 and Helite Turtle

Klim rep Jeff Nash joined the crew to show off the two airbags we sell, the Helite Turtle and the Klim Ai-1. Even at 1/8 speed you can tell these vests are lightning fast.

Those are literally my decision choices now. Well add in the Hit-Air as well. The next to body and hidden nature of the Ai-1 as well as the bike agnostic ability to just get on a friends bike/demo bike etc is appealing. Cost of subscription will make it similar in price to the Turtle so the $$ is a wash overall.
In and motion technology is far more intelligent and would trigger on lowsiding. I’m not sure what to do just now...but likely Klim.

Hi. Exactly my thoughts right now. Just curious which one you bought. Think the Helite has slightly better neck and lower back protection

[@sergeantsodom6969]

After snapping my ribs, I really wish there were a rib protector

Avoid the Klim! It requires a subscription to keep you alive. Buy the Helite, check out their website, plenty of airbags to choose from. User reset and no subscription, it’s superior too other systems.

You can also just pay the 400$ one time fee and be done with it. And it also has user replacable gas canisters. Only after 3 crashes you have to send it in

Klim water proof? That was rhetorical; it isn’t.
