HIT AIR has once again, given the EU INZANE X an airbag MLC-V fluor colored vest as a grand prize for our lottery.
I would like to thank this company for their generosity and in return I would like to promote the HIT AIR jackets and vests Smiley
As a matter of fact, we spend more money on chrome than on safety.
The HIT AIR gear has been extensively tested since 1985 and significantly reduces injuries during accidents. 
The CO2 bottle opens during separation in an accident and the instantly inflated bladders protect the important parts of your body.
Because a jacket or vest stays with you when separated from your motorcycle, it has a much higher safety value than an airbag.
Things have come a long way since 1985 and HIT AIR now a range of comfortable, rainproof and reusable jackets and vests. 
The vests provide extra flexibility , since you wear it over your normal jacket, also in regions or periods with hot outside air temperatures. 
Take a look at their line up:

Thats a great grand prize

i have had the hit-air  mesh jacket for about 7 yrs   It fully inflates in .25 seconds which is less time than it takes to hit the ground or a pole or a car as if you are t boned you do spend time airborne

Fortunately I have not had to experience it in action

Looking to get a new one this spring as it doesnt like being draped over the hot pipes of my bike
Maybe they can send me a free one?

Yeah I know

It is NOT a light jacket but when you are sitting on the bike it doesnt feel heavy  I use the tourmaster heated jacket liner when riding this time of year down to about 20,  below that I use the killamanjaro shell
