I finally did it. After seeing a vest save a Spyder rider it really hit home. I have been wearing an Icon Stryker vest like http://www.womenridersnow.com/docs/stories/3966/1.IMG_8447crop.jpg this. Its a good piece of equipment, I wear it under my jacket. But the Helite vest is light years better.

I bough it from Revzilla. I got $55 off retail and they pay sales tax, so I saved about $120. It will take a week to get here, but once I use it on my bikes I will give you an initial impression.

Good luck, and hoping you'll never need it. Since your upper body will be protected, in regards to broken bones, what about your lower body?

Yes, I hope to never post a crash results thread.

Hope to hear your impressions of the vest once you get used to it. Also hoping that you wont have to post any crash results. :thumbup:

Just have to remember to unhook the tether before you get off the bike! ;)

Looking forward to your review!
