Just wondering if anybody owns an airbag jacket or knows anyone who has one?
What are they like and how do they work?
Can you buy them in NZ?
Cheers

Serious product Jaz. Uses CO2 cartridges and a lanyard attached to the bike to activate. Takes a bike yank to activate too, because I've seen someone almost drag their bike over when they walked off still attached.Originally Posted by jazbug5
If a man is alone in the woods and there isn't a woke Hollywood around to call him racist, is he still white?

you buy a 50 dollar jacket thats been to nam an back an it just fills with air when ever your riding so you get a nice comfy air barrier when you smash.
yet to be tested properly.

unless you can prove it.
Mates got one. He bought it at the MCN show in the UK. Loves it. As Jim said, runs off a small C02 cannister, and I believe it inflates around the neck and back in the event of an off.

No longer will the suck for they will blow instead.
Suck damn it suck! Blow is just a figure of speech.
Reality is an illusion encouraged by consensus.
Man, you are too square.
There's a video knocking around on the web somewhere of one in use, but I can't seem to track it down at the moment.
Like you say, around the back of the neck and base of the helmet (presumably to hold the head in place relative to the trunk?), and down part of the front/chest if I remember correctly. Looked like a fairly decent bit of kit, but with a fairly hefty price tag to match ($2000?)

According to my buddy, apparently not. The bags can be re-packed, the Co2 cannister replaced and you're ready to 'roll' again.

yep I agree they can be repacked... but I was thinking the effect of the moving road against the cloth the bag / jacket is made of
