Helite Australia

In the end I bought a HiViz airbag vest for myself. I decided on the tethered vest because of the coverage all around the neck, back and lower body and I prefer the mechanical connection, rather than relying on the battery being charged in an electronic vest. Also less chance of an inadvertent deployment and it's easy to replace the gas canister.It is really important to speak to Enrico (via number on website) as he will be able to help chose the correct size and style. The quality of the materials in the vest is excellent and the two other jackets I considered were also of very high quality, nicely made and the leather and textiles had a quality feel.I am very happy with my vest and after talking to Enrico an online purchase should not give any troubles.4 stars, just because I prefer to shop in store, but Enrico goes out of his way to be helpful and make for any loss of personal contact.

Excellent product and a lot more comfortable than I thought it would with very little service costs an u can replace your own canister etc. and just tethers straight onto your bike.Just maybe watch out for sizes as they are on the smaller size but aMassive thanks to Enrico and Dustin who I bought it off as he called me to confirm sizes etc and then they went out of their way to hand deliver it to me and also give me a demonstration which was excellent as the support it gives when it goes off is great especially for your neck.

Received my 2 vests yesterday very good quality but even better the communication from the company was 5 star email and sms about getting the best size was awesome. Great company and products will be ordering more from Helite.

I’m the owner and rider of Moto Evo Racing and we organised through Enrico and his team Pure racing suits with the Helite airbag system tailored for each rider.On the 17 of December, I was racing in the St George night series at SMSP in Sydney, had a very fast crash due to brake failure at over 180km/h.Should I say the airbag system worked and saved a lot of serious injuries and only received a clavicle fracture which happened from helmet before airbag deployed.This is an UNBELIEVABLE suit and you could imagine at that speed what injuries could of occurred throughout the body. I sustained no head or neck, ribs, hips, or internal organ injuries. No bruising only to the collarbone area.Please see photos attached and you can see the photo with canister the black discharge remains from deployment.I’m also a riding coach and instructor and highly recommend PURE with the Helite airbag system as a premium quality and well designed product!I would like to thank Enrico and his team for a great product and fantastic service and if you are riding on two, three or four wheels, I highly recommend their suits and airbags system.

I recently purchased the Helite airbag Hi-Viz jacket. Going through the size chart, I decided to go with the Medium. Whilst the website does caution against French sizes being small, I still decided to go with the Medium anyway. I ordered the jacket on a Sunday afternoon. I received a call from Enrico on the following Tuesday morning. After a brief conversation with Enrico, I decided to go with the Large. Enrico assured me if it was to big, there would be no issues swapping it over. The jacket arrived on the following day. Size Large, as advised by Enrico, was spot on. Excellent quality, and very comfortable. After researching all types of Jackets, I am glad I went with Helite. Customer service was top notch and delivery was speedy. Highly recommend.

These vests should be as common as wearing a helmet. After wearing mine for 5 years, it proved its worth over a very rocky creek crossing (I'm talking boulders!) when my horse decided to jump rather than cross and I came off. I landed flat on my back on rocks and immediately felt how comfortable the vest was! One huge bruise along my thigh is the only injury or even discomfort from this potentially critical fall. No stiffness or soreness. I'm 68 and have previously fractured my spine, and I got back on my horse this day and never felt better!.Helite Australia were brilliant at expediting my new canister, and my sister's new vest which she ordered after seeing how mine saved me. If you get on a horse, get one of these!

Enrico has been so helpful in giving me advice about sizing and about the Turtle 2 air vest. I have great trust in Enrico, he is so genuine and happy to assist. You can tell his faith in the Helite product and after wearing it and the air bag inflating during a demonstration, I’m amazed at how rigid your neck is kept in all directions by the air bag cradling the helmet and also the quality of the back protector.I have a relatively new Adventure jacket, otherwise I would have gotten the air bag jacket.I decided not to ride again until I received the vest, it just seemed stupid to, the vest being so good and I’d have it soon. Wouldn’t you kick yourself ……! Great business to deal with and great communication. Thanks Enrico .

I am extremely happy with my Helite touring jacket. The quality is exceptional and it is really comfortable.I had a slow speed fall recently in some mud while adventure riding, and the air bag activated and completely cushioned my fall. I was always a bit sceptical as to how it would work in a slow speed fall, but this disproved my doubts. I also had my tether set for stand up riding and i thought this would have slowed the reaction time, but it still worked well.These jackets are the BEST!!

A huge thanks to Enrico for helping me buy the right size of what looks like a well made and designed product... although I am very, very keen never to have to test this product in real life!I have always felt a bit dubious about buying women's motorcycle gear on line as the fit has sometimes been problematic. This airbag feels great and it is not as heavy as I thought it would be. It fits perfectly over my longer style Klim adventure jacket.I really appreciated Enrico taking the time to help me size the jacket and to talk me through how to replace the CO2 cartridge.Awesome service and product looks perfect for my needs.WHAT HAPPENED NEXT!!!!I Just fell off. Riding dirt road, standing up, 60km/hour, oncoming car, overcorrected , off the road into the bush, crashed through a tree branch, went over the handlebars. Oops!NOT A SCRATCH. Head and neck totally cocooned, no fractured ribs, no fractured clavicle, no hip injury. Bike looks like a write off.UNBELIEVABLE to get out of this accident without major injury!BUY ONE TODAY.. AND SOME FOR YOUR KIDS.

I was unsure at first as to how the jacket would go. I was ever so surprised and impressed with the Helite touring 2 jacket . It feels heavy out of the box but when riding with it on it feels like any other jacket. It was very comfortable .The zips on the deep pockets are easy to use with gloves on. Had days of 22 deg C and 9 deg C also lots of wind. I didn't feel hot or cold. Overall it is a big win. Over the 5 day ride I had 7 occasions where I forgot to unclip the jacket from the lanyard. A gentle tug was felt and I undid it. My friends called it my seatbelt... I will be encouraging them and others to purchase a Helite product.As for Enrico , wow !!!! What fantastic customer service from him. Absolutely outstanding. I wish more motorcycle riders would use the product.
