Hit Air Motorcycle Air Bag Jacket Protection For Riders & Co-Riders

Motorcycle accident statistics are clear. Collisions, resulting from a rider being thrown from the motorcycle and impacting with the ground or crashing into an obstacle such as a guardrail, are the main reasons for deaths and serious injuries. More than 90% of these injuries are to the head, neck or chest.

Helmets protect your head, but impact to the helmet may also cause an injury to the neck. Hit Air, an airbag jacket for motorcyclists, offers protection to the neck where various kinds of protection padding have been lacking.

Protection is also provided for the front and the back of the body by a shock-buffering airbag system, offering riders additional protection during accidents. We are continuing our quest to develop innovative products to enhance motorcycle riding safety.

Shock-buffering protection system will be activated immediately after the distance from the rider to the motorcycle exceeds the “activation distance”, when the key ball is pulled out from the key box to release CO2 gas into the neck, chest, body, back and hip airbags to inflate them in 0.5 second for lessening the effect of impact on rider's body. Even before the airbag is fully inflated (in 0.5 second), it is quite effective for shock buffering. After the airbag is inflated in full, it leaks the gas slowly through the gas release valve and a feeling of tightness will subside gradually.
