I'm wondering if anyone is wearing one of these?

I know at least two who regularly wear some type of air vest.

What I haven't seen, is the leatt neck brace.

Those are the ones that are common trackside. I wore mine for 3 years everytime i rode. Saw one crash tested in the states and the guy swore it saved him from a huge trip to the hospital.

I believe Racer 5 sells them now. We imported ours in from the US.

So every time you get on the bike you have to hook the jacket to it. And every time you get off it has to be unhooked, otherwise it will deploy?

Yes, unless you get a Ducati Multistrada 1200 in Europe with the Dainese one: http://www.pocket-lint.com/news/128...cati-and-dainese-protect-riders-from-the-road

I've been oogling these for at least 3 years, too!

Just by looking at the websites, hit-air seems to have many more products offered with better coverage than the Helite...
