It's only CE level 1 as a back protector on it's own.Horse wrote: ↑Thu Jul 09, 2020 8:22 amDo they specify that it's a replacement, rather than supplement, to a back protector, and that you should remove it?scottyuk wrote: ↑Tue Jul 07, 2020 9:21 pm For some reason I thought it was time I got one of these airbag vests ... or rather I just stopped justifying not getting one.
I did all the sizing checks on all my gear etc and then went and tried one one. So much lighter and thinner than I expected. Maybe 25% bigger than the back protector it's replacing and I don't notice the weight difference at all.
It can switch from Street to Track mode via the phone app in a couple of seconds.
Edit: "Horse, why are you asking questions? Google it!" So I did.

Edit 2: Reading further down the page, did you go one-off payment or installments? How did you decide?
I decided to pay £145 per year - that's £120 for Street and and £25 for track. I ride all year so annual made sense. After three years I could buy it outright for €99. This also means I get warranty for all the time I'm paying and a replacement in 48 hours if there's an issue. You can also have a free upgrade after three years to the latest model.
If you buy it outright to start it's £399. For that you get 2 years warranty.
The only thing I don't like is that the on/off button it high up on the back. If it was lower you could turn it off and on whilst wearing it but I'll see if this is an issue of this coming long weekend of riding.
