I have two, both of which are Helite Turtle. I had the manual (with tether) that I wore for a few years until the e-Turtle [finall] becmae for sale in the States. That was a couple of years ago and I haven't looked back. I researched extensively before I bought and believe Helite is the best. I never - EVER - ride without it. IDK why more motorcyclists don't embrace these.

I couldnt agree more - the relatively small cost of the vest clearly outweighs the upside of wearing one! Glad to hear the Helite is working for you!

I think I'm going to buy the Alpinestars Tech Air 5 - not bad on the price either!

@@Two_Wheels_Talk The removable control module is very flimsy and has a micro-USB port for charging that literally broke after the first use. I called for support who said I have to be very gentle plugging it in as the components are fragile. I then had to mail it to France ( I live in Asia) to be replaced. In N Motion was helpful but the experience and overall hassle were a pain. After I received it back, I had to pay import duty for the replacement in my country based on the cost of the entire vest ($100 usd). The power port was fixed but the module would then not pair to my iPhone as before nor would it recognize it even after reinstalling the app. The bar code on the vest that you used to register the module ended up different after the replacement and the existing account I had on the iphone did not recognize it. I ended up making a new account and pairing it to an Android tablet that I need to carry around now when I ride to use the functionality. I really liked the comfort of the vest and concept, but the actual quality of the control module is cheap and delicate which makes no sense. klim stuff is bulletproof, but this isn't. I had the subscription, so the replacement was free under their warranty minus the duties I paid. I wouldn't buy this again and would opt for the new Astars bags or Helite backpack.
