Verdict
The most practical way to add serious impact protection to gear you already own. Battery life and easy charging finally make an airbag realistic for daily riders.
What we like
- Works with any jacket you already own
- No cables, no tethers, no subscription
- 26 hours of battery on a single USB-C charge
What we don't
- Adds bulk under sportier one-piece jackets
- Trigger only recognises certain crash profiles
How it works
Seven sensors sample rider inputs 1,000 times a second. When the algorithm detects a crash signature, gas fills a bladder that wraps the upper torso in 45 milliseconds.
