that is a great deal, I got one for my bro after I got hurt for 189.

My riding jacket has one built in as well as elbow and shoulder pads.

I'd still go with an airbag jacket, like the HitAir....I really like mine and I feel safer than when I wore any jacket with any armor. It's nice to know that you'll have airbags deploying all around you if you come off your bike...for the price of a high quality armored jacket, you can get a HitAir, and be more protected when you ride...

I think the HitAir is amazing as is the Spidi jacket and vest. However, there is a reason that competitive riders protect their entire back with worn armor. For those who don't want to invest in a new jacket this is a great option at a great price.

I read the testimonials on the link you provided. I was thinking about the hitair jacket; but, may go with the armour instead.

The Hit Air provides neck protection which is a separate piece of gear for competitive riders. So it does something really special. I have thought about their vest or the Spidi one but they are worn over and I have enough stuff on. lol

I thought I was the only one with a "hit-air"

I own the hit-air vest and jacket. I got them when I was on two wheels, but feel it adds some possible protection if I was thrown. Everyone i know wants to tug on the cord to watch it inflate. Of course that is my one concern. If I need it will it actually inflate? I hope I never find out!

The neck protection is critical. I volunteer for an ambulance group and we see a lot of thrown riders with neck and back injuries.

Thought they were reusable. Just replace the cartridge. There are videos on YouTube of the Spidi inflating.

I think the poster was just saying he hopes it works when needed.

Received my Knox. Fairly amazing. Light. Flexible. Comfortable.
