Testing out an all new motorcycle air bag vest by Ixon - J&S Accessories Ltd

[@116fletch]

Hi I’d just like to add, I wear this product & it doesn’t feel restrictive or uncomfortable! 👍🏻

[@markfosseth8047]

116fletch Hi, how about sweating during 30-35 Celsius hot days ? Thx in advance

[@116fletch]

Mark Fosseth hi, sorry can’t inform as I’ve not ridden in nice weather yet! 🇬🇧

[@giodc8599]

Hello, what is the procedure you go through when it pops? Does it need to be sent back to Ixon?

[@mattmattstravels9429]

@@giodc8599 According to the video it only has to be sent back after it has been activated 6 times.

[@jodiesouthworth9221]

Hi, do you wear under a jacket or race suit? I'm worried about how it would work under my tight racesuit 😬

[@rubenassandri9389]

I used your airbag for the first time in Track Mode under my leather suit for a track day. I did not have any crash, but he bruised my back badly. It got all my upper back inflamed and I can't move my neck ()it is 3 days now). An accident with a "standard" back protector would hurt less. I contacted the support but I still waiting for a feedback.

[@jandsaccessories30]

Hi there, Sorry to hear about the discumfort in wearing the vest. I will contact the supplier of these and explain your concerns.

[@jandsaccessories30]

Do you have the compatible Ixon suit? It can be worn under any jacket but is only compatible with cirtain types of suit for the track in track mode. This might explain the discomfort.

[@rubenassandri9389]

I am wearing it under a RST suit. With plenty of space. What is a “compatible suit?” It is advertised to be compatible with every garment with specific sizes.

[@jandsaccessories30]

@@rubenassandri9389 Hi there, it will fit under almost any jacket, but a suit is a different story. There are Ixon and RST compatible suits for this vest that have been designed to fit the air bag. This is our description of the product... "The Ixon IX-Airbag U03 motorcycle Airbag Vest is an electronic airbag that can be worn under almost ANY motorcycle jacket. This has been developed in collaboration with the Ixon riders in MotoGP" Im sure the guys would be happy to help in store on weather yours is compatible or not and help you sort out your discomfort.

@@jandsaccessories30 funny how he pissed off once confronted with some facts! 🤔😂

[@pratikpinoakawolverine]

but how it works?

[@sportsbikesspark734]

Can the monthly subscription be paused and restarted? Or is this a fixed term subscription? Just thinking about the winter months 🤷‍♂️

[@jandsaccessories30]

Hi there, You can cancel the subscription at any time but you have to send the box back to In & motion. and they will send it back to you when you want to start it again. Another option is to buy a lifetime subscription at a one off payment of 399.99 euros. Failing that we have other options for airbags for track and road that dont have a subscription on our website... www.jsaccessories.co.uk/shop/accessories/airbags.htm Thanks

[@sportsbikesspark734]

@@jandsaccessories30 the 399 euros payment seems a bit heavy with the vest costing less... How does the Alpinestars vest you have compare? My suit is Ixon but you say they are universal... I am ok with the temp licensing and returning the module when not in use if the Ixon vest is the better option?! Thanks in advance

[@jandsaccessories30]

@@sportsbikesspark734 The price is set by the supplier as that gets paid directly to them so we cant change that unfortunatly. The Alpinestars vest is a fantastic prorduct, It has unrivaled covarage for a vest of this type we have done a video on this. If you would like more information however the guys in the store would be happy to help. Or if its an online purchase, give us a call and we can talk you through the pros and cons of all the air bags we have on offer. This is the video we have done.... kzbin.info/www/bejne/lYDQhHVnm9Cod7s

[@seankelly9260]

Some of the information in the video is wrong it’s 3 deployments not 6 and you don’t have to send box back to in & motion if you stop and restart subscription you can freeze subscription for a couple of months and the subscription drops from £12 a month to £4 a month

[@steve940]

Just checked your online e store and none for sale ???

[@jandsaccessories30]

This is because of Covid-19 - as soon as the stores are back open their stock will show on our website and these will be for sale again.

[@domkelly1972]

no mention of the leasing agreement that makes it work after you have bought the vest? really dishonest pricing from IXON. the jacket is not 400 euros.. it 400 euros plus a subscription. i only just found out by accident.. not one mention of it until teh very bottom of the page on their website.

[@jandsaccessories30]

Yes there is a licencing agreement with Ixon and the company is called "In Motion" You can either do a monthly subscription of approx £12 per month or an outright purchase of £379.99 - this is a lifetime price not a yearly one.

[@xo2893]

Problem is where to buy this inflatable vest

[@Goetterdaemmerung]

How much bigger the jacket needs to be? One size larger to take the inflation?

[@jandsaccessories30]

A size bigger would be ideal but we would advise that you try on a jacket as some have plenty of room and have stretch pannels in them already. The guys instore will advise if there is enough room or not.

[@Goetterdaemmerung]

J&S Accessories thx - just wondered that the jacket you have worn was very tight.

[@martinfoster5163]

A test is where you have a crash, isn’t it? Any volunteers?

[@jandsaccessories30]

Not in our office, unless you're volunteering?? But we wouldn't recommend it!

[@gman4774]

It's a life jacket

[@yanmorthybus3817]

je ne recommande pas le in&motion pour la simple raison que l on achete le gilet 399€ et que le boitier de controle ne nous appartient pas il faut soit payer 120€/an pendant 3 ans et ensuite payer 99€ pour que le boitier soit a vous ou bien payer 399€ de plus pour avoir le boitier sinon bon produit en soit je ne lui reproche que ce detail mais lorsque j ai perdu le mien ils m ont envoyé la note de 399€ en plus de la perte initiale de 399€ du gilet

[@thadiussean9133]

i would never trust an electronic only airbag system...
