Here at Airvest, we understand the risks that people take when they mount a motorcycle, jet ski or even horse. Basic road safety dictates that a cyclist should wear a helmet to prevent damaging their head, but the rest of their body is left exposed. Even when wearing a heavy leather jacket, a motorist is still at risk of injury if a crash happens.
We take safety one step further with our unique air vests and jackets. We have adopted the same principle as airbags in cars and incorporated the technology into several wearable body airbags.
Airvest products take the form of practical outerwear that looks no different to an ordinary jacket or vest. The body airbag is designed to inflate before impact to prevent broken bones or whiplash for the wearer.
How do they work?
Our vests and jackets are all fitted with CE certified airbags, which automatically become fully inflated in just 0.094 seconds to absorb the shock that the user experiences in an accident. For added protection, we fit many of our vests with extra shock-absorbent padding.
We further ensure the comfort of our vests with an efficient inner textile 3D mesh design, which promotes good air circulation. Both the vests and jackets come with adjustable fasteners to help users affix them to their person as securely as possible. Our jackets also come with a removable thermal inner lining to keep the user warm, making them perfect for use in even very cold conditions.
The functionality of these jackets and vests is hidden behind an unassuming design that gives the user the appearance of wearing a regular jacket or high-visibility vest.
