What does my Airvest come with?

Helite Zip’In 2: Technology

Large Airbag Volume: Helite airbags offer the largest volume of protection on the market between 17L and 28L. The unique shape of the airbag effectively absorbs shocks, protects vital areas and stabilises the body from your head to your coccyx
Mechanical system: Reliable and easy to use system; ideal for horse riders or motorcyclists simply attach your lanyard to your motorcycle or saddle strap (if equestrian user) in order to be protected. The airbag will inflate when the lanyard disconnects via the key ball mechanism.
Reusable: Reload the recommended sized canister yourself in less than two minutes.

Use:

  • Equestrian: Most Zip’In 2 airbags are likely to be used by our equestrian athletes over the top of their usual equestrian attire.
  • Motorcycle/Speedway/Moto-cross: As the Zip’In 2 can be worn alone it is also suitable for use underneath an oversized speedway race suit for example. Please allow for expansion of the airbag when fitting it underneath any clothing.
  • PLEASE NOTE: We would always recommend Helite airbags to be worn OVER clothing rather than under where it is possible to do so.

CE Certification & Warranty

CE certified airbag: All our airbags are certified by the ALIENOR CERTIFICATION laboratory, a recognised organisation that checks and approves personal protective equipment (PPE) for horse riders and motorcyclists.

Guarantee: All Helite airbags come with a 2 year warranty as standard. You can extend this if you register your airbag within 3 months of purchase and have it serviced by us at the end of the first two years. This will give you an additional two years of warranty of the airbag. (Airbag Component Only – Encapsulating Jackets, Vests, Outers and Backpacks come With A Standard 1 Year Warranty).

In order to satisfy any of the warranties you must retain proof of purchase (e.g. invoice/receipt) and also proof that your airvest or jacket has been serviced as a minimum of every 2 years.

Zip’In 2 for Motorsport

ZIP'IN 2 Airvest for motocross

Helite are always searching and researching new ways to keep riders safe. Helite have already reduced a number of speedway accidents for riders such as Jack Thomas, Ben Trigger and Alex Spooner with the light weight zip in 2 vest. With airbags now introduced for professional rallying, at the Dakar, it co-insides with the launch of Helite’s off-road race suit due in the UK this year, and substantial interest is already building in Motocross. The world of Motocross has endured several fatalities this year so working out how to help riders improve their protection is now being done in a number of ’trials’. If you would like to know more about the super light zip in 2 vest or about the off-road race suit please don’t hesitate to contact Lee Lowry on 0789 4538756 for further advice.

How do I choose the right size?

Answer: It is important to choose the right size of your airbag system for optimal protection. For this, we advise you to follow our size chart. Hint: measuring your back is important and a good indication to find the right size. Please note that the models Turtle, e-Turtle, Airnest, Custom, GP Air and e-GP Air should always be worn over your motorcycle equipment. You should therefore only take your measurements with your equipment. The Touring, Vented, Roadster, Xena and Parka City models are worn like a classic motorcycle jacket.

Is it possible to try the airbag system?

Answer: Yes. Simply click the green button labeled "Try before you buy" and follow the instructions.

Where can I buy new cartridges?

Answer: All replacement cartridges can be purchased from our accessories section.

Where can I buy new lanyards?

Answer: All replacement lanyards can be purchased from our accessories section.

Can I reuse my airbag system after an accident?

Answer: Yes, as long as the airbag is in good condition with no holes or tears. It's easy to do, you can reset the system in under 2 minutes, without sending your airbag system back to us. You simply need to replace the CO2 cartridge with a new one, available in our accessories section.

Can I reuse the CO2 cartridge?

Answer: No, once it is used you will need a replacement.

What is the warranty of the Helite airbag systems?

Answer: All Helite airbags come with a 2 year warranty as standard. You can extend this if you register your airbag within 3 months of purchase and have it serviced by us at the end of the first two years. This will give you an additional two years of warranty of the airbag. (Airbag Component Only - Encapsulating Jackets, Vests, Outers and Backpacks come With A Standard 1 Year Warranty).

Can I travel with my Helite airbag?

Answer: Bus, train, car: No constraint. For electronic models, remember to turn off the vest when you take this type of transport with your vest.   Plane : You may encounter some difficulties with the security services regarding the CO2 cartridges used to inflate the airbag. According to the regulations (IATA Regulations - see Manuals section), you are authorised to fly with 2 gas cartridges (the volume must be less than 200cc), in the cabin or in the hold. Even if the regulations allow it, it is possible that the security service or the airline refuses to let you board with it. We strongly recommend that you print the "IATA Regulations" and show this document to the security service or the airline during the control if they ask for more explanations. In any case, it is the airport security service and the airline that will make the final decision whether or not to accept the airbag on board. Often each airline will have their own advice pages online, it is worth printing these out also as supplementary documentation.
