HELD Air Vest II Black-Fluorescent yellow

The gender indicates who the airbag is designed for. This has a direct impact on the fit and cut of the model. In this way, the harness fits the body properly and the airbag can provide optimal protection in the event of an accident.

• Men: Designed for the male body shape, with broader shoulders and a straight cut, so the airbag stays properly in place during an impact.
• Women: Tailored to the female body shape, with a slimmer waist and more room at the chest and hips, so the airbag provides effective protection without feeling restrictive.
• Unisex: Universal fit suitable for both men and women, with a neutral cut that works well for most body shapes.

Airbag systems have existed for a long time, and technology continues to advance. Today, some airbag systems allow the software to be adjusted, enabling a single system to be used for multiple purposes.

• Street: Algorithms tailored for daily rides and commuting. The airbag detects typical fall patterns at low and medium speeds, providing reliable protection without unnecessary activation.
• Track: Optimized for high speeds and sporty riding. Fast, precise sensors and algorithms ensure the airbag responds immediately to hard impacts or extreme lean angles.
• Off-road: Designed for enduro and off-road adventure. Activation uses robust, flexible algorithms that distinguish movements over rough terrain from real falls, so the airbag only deploys in actual risk situations.

The presence or absence of pockets determines whether you can carry small items in or on the airbag. This can be practical for keys, wallet, or phone while riding.

• Yes: The airbag has integrated pockets that allow you to safely carry small items without them being in the way while riding.
• No: There are no pockets; the focus is entirely on protection and the compact fit of the airbag.

The closure system determines how the airbag is secured to the body and ensures that it stays safely and firmly in place while riding. Different systems each offer their own advantages.

• Zipper: The most commonly used closure; quick and easy to fasten, providing a snug and reliable fit.
• Buckle / buckle straps: Extra sturdy and durable, ideal for intensive use or sporty rides.
• Velcro (optional): Sometimes used in combination with zippers or buckles to further adjust the fit and secure loose parts of the garment.

The back protector indicates whether the airbag provides additional protection for the back. It can be integrated, optionally available, or not present at all.

• Yes: The airbag includes an integrated back protector for additional spinal protection, available in level 1 or level 2 depending on the level of protection.
• No: There is no back protector; the focus is entirely on the torso protection provided by the airbag.
• Optional: A back protector can be optionally added and provides additional protection in combination with the airbag.

The tailbone protector indicates whether the airbag provides additional protection for the tailbone. This can help in falls where the rear of the body takes impact.

• Yes: The airbag includes a tailbone protector that provides extra protection for the tailbone in case of a fall.
• No: There is no specific tailbone protection; the airbag focuses only on the torso and back.

The chest protector indicates whether the airbag provides additional protection for the chest. This can help in falls where the front of the body takes impact.

• Yes: The airbag includes an integrated chest protector for additional protection of the chest and ribs.
• No: There is no chest protector; the focus is only on the torso and back.
• Optional: A chest protector can be optionally added and provides additional protection in combination with the airbag.

The activation time of an airbag, expressed in milliseconds, determines how quickly the airbag fully inflates in the event of a fall.

Indicates whether and how the airbag can be made ready for use again after deployment. Some systems can be safely reset by yourself, while others must be inspected by an authorized service center.

• Yes, user-resettable: You can safely reset the airbag yourself using the supplied kit or by following the instructions.
• Yes, via service center: The airbag must be taken to an authorized service center to be safely and properly reset, ensuring that safety and warranty are maintained.

The outer material of an airbag determines the durability, abrasion resistance, and comfort of the system.

The lining of an airbag affects comfort and fit.

Reflection indicates whether the airbag provides extra visibility in the dark or in poor weather. This can increase the rider’s safety by making them more visible to other road users. This is only useful when the airbag can be worn over the motorcycle jacket.
