Official Aprilia Air Bag Jacket

#1 Post by D-Rider » Thu Aug 26, 2010 6:44 pm

Aprilia has announced an official Air Bag Jacket ..... though it is one that activates via a tether from the bike - so I reckon they're going to be going off on a regular basis.

It's rumoured that they will be making a separate version in their range of ladies clothing:

In spite of the cost of living, it's still popular.

Does it have a sprag or starter switch? :smt001

I was looking at the hit-air jacket i think it was called, a sleeveless affair that you put over your own jacket, price was around €300 or so IIRC
