The Hit-Air MLV 2 airbag vest in a reflective yellow design with stripes, size M, provides comprehensive protection for the upper body in the event of a fall from a motorcycle or scooter. The enlarged collar reliably secures the helmet, preventing it from shifting or coming off and helping to prevent head injuries. Made from the best available materials, the airbag vest is lightweight, comfortable and allows for individual size adjustment. The Japanese manufacturer Hit-Air guarantees excellent quality, confirmed by the CE EN 1621-4 certificate. Attaching it to the motorcycle is simple, as is replacing the cartridge after activation. Activation occurs within 77–92ms. The mechanical design requires no charging or maintenance. The vest deploys even when falling at lower speeds, increasing the chance of minimising injuries. Its weight ranges from 1,400–1,600g depending on the size, and the CO₂ cartridge weighs 270g.
The Hit-Air MLV 2 protects the upper half of the body in a fall from a motorcycle. The protective features of the airbag vest include:
The protective elements of the Hit-Air MLV 2 vest may seem cumbersome, but in practice they do not restrict movement at all. Adjustable internal straps allow you to customise the size to your body shape. The vest is made of 600D polyester, nylon straps and polyester mesh, supplemented with reflective elements made of Lumidex. Polyurethane was used for the airbag, and the part behind the activation mechanism is supplemented with visco-elastane.
The motorcycle airbag vest works on a mechanical principle. It connects to the motorcycle frame under the seat or another suitable location using a carbon-Kevlar cable. Activation is similar to seat belts—it only engages during an actual fall. The deployment is calibrated to a force corresponding to a fall (usually from 30km/h upwards). After activation, the vest deflates on its own within two minutes. It can then be prepared for use again: deflate the excess air, activate the mechanism with an Allen key and insert a new CO₂ cartridge.
