I’ve had a Helite for a couple of years and wear it on my bikes (just sold an R1200R and bought a Multistrada 1260s)
I find it fine. I bought the hi viz one which may or may not have already saved my life, but is not as cool as the black one which a few of my biker pals wear.
I also have friends who paid mega-bucks for the Dianese jackets with gps and batteries in them, but none of us have had to use them yet, luckily.
I have seen one go off twice, the chap who sold it to me at NEC show did it to me while I was wearing one. Quite a shock but very good support and solidity.
I’m happy with it, but am currently thinking of stopping it for the Helite Touring jacket in grey.......but the. Hi viz is so good at getting you seen!
I’ve always been nervous of being crashed into from behind by a car and think having the hi viz back showing might make you far more visible to oncoming cars at lights and junctions.
OOK - you e been thinking about getting one for 2 years according to this thread! I’d say you need to make a decision before you next ride your bike and stick to it. You don’t want to be on the spinal ward saying “why didn’t I get one?”
