RST is definitely a respectable brand. I went to their site and it looks pretty darn good. I’ll do some more research. Thank you!

RST (In&Motion) has a cheaper option. Not quite 1/10 price, and no hip coverage though.

This is all cool in capitalism but it doesn’t reflect very well upon the masses that see them repeatedly releasing products at unattainable prices. And yes, $900 for an air bag is a lot of money. You can bike a dirt bike for that much and in some places even a decent used car.

For now, and apparently for the foreseeable future, I’ll stick with my SAS-tec and D3O pads. I also love my Forcefield Pro Sub 4 back protector which I can crash in all day and is still the industry best back protector, EVER! I know you can’t compare my gear to Airbags but it’s the most practical and attainable I’ve yet to find. Btw, I still use Astar’s gloves and boots. I’m not against the brand, I love their stuff, when I can afford it.

Btw, don’t get me started on how Shoei and Arai have been making millions and offering nothing but new livery for decades. They should do some collabs with HD. That’s about how advanced they are.

I just bought a new suit that I sized specifically to fit with room for my Tech-Air5 vest. The only issue I’ve found is that it can be a real bear to get the suit up and over the rigid part containing the air canisters and electronics by myself. Not a huge issue at the track where there’s people who can help, but its almost a non starter for solo street riding (not that I wear one-piece race leathers for regular street rides anyway)

It’s just a lot of space. If you have that much space in your jacket, I’d wager you bought the wrong jacket for your size. Now, if you’ve lost some weight and find there’s room now, maybe that’s a good solution

Yup.

However, our experience in this space is that suits tend not to fit very well under these requirements.

That’s something I’ve been wondering about. Does your suit just end up flapping about a lot when sized to suit airbags?
