You may feel that you already take ample safety precautions before mounting your motorcycle – such as wearing a helmet, leather jacket, gloves and boots. However, there is almost certainly more that you can do to minimise the risk of injury in the event of an accident.
With a motorcycle safety vest or jacket from Airvest, if you fall off your motorcycle, you can effectively absorb the impact of the ground, thereby substantially decreasing the chances of injury.
Don’t take risks when riding on treacherous roads – or indeed, any roads. Here are a few ways that a body airbag jacket or vest can keep you well-protected.
Tough, reliable materials
Airvest jackets and vests are made from ultra-thick breathable fabrics that are strong enough for the purpose, but also light and flexible enough to promote comfort.
Such strength prevents the vest or jacket from tearing or shredding if the user skids on the road following a crash. Road rash can cause heavy bleeding and infection, and falling off a bike and skidding along tarmac can quickly destroy most fabrics.
The motorcycle jackets and vests that we stock here at Airvest also come fitted with CE certified armours, which provide extra protection on top of the gear you already wear.
Instant inflation
Once an Airvest jacket or vest detects that you’re falling off your bike, a small CO2 canister concealed within the clothing will activate and inflate the jacket or vest.
This process happens so quickly that by the time you make it to the floor, you’ll have a layer of soft padding to protect you from the direct impact of the ground.
Hitting the ground at high speeds is enough to break any bone in your body, so this layer of air creates a cushion that provides a softer landing, thereby preventing broken bones.
Secure clips
Nor will you have to worry about your vest falling off, as you’ll be fully protected 100% of the way with a set of clips keeping the jacket secured to your body.
The straps are completely adjustable to provide a much comfier fit, meaning that truly any motorcycle rider can use one of our jackets.
Loose clothing, even if it’s made from strong leather, can drastically reduce the amount of protection that you have on the road.
Stay safe on your motorcycle with Airvest
Thanks to a nigh-on unbeatable combination of strong, flexible fabrics, split-second inflation and secure fastenings, you can be sure that an Airvest body airbag jacket or vest will keep you from scraping, breaking and bruising your body when you take a tumble.
No matter how safe a motorcycle rider you may consider yourself to be, you can never be too safe.
