The days of track riders having airbag superiority are over with the Helite H-Moov Airbag Backpack. The H-Moov is a one size fits all backpack with a built in airbag system that allows for full body motion without the constraints that come with a CE certified vest type airbag with full inflation in under .095 seconds. A SAS-TEC Level 1 back protector is also included on the bag for additional protection.

Cannot stress this enough, the hmoov will fit a 24 rack of beer when empty. I’ve tested it multiple times
That alone is worth 800
I've been riding with the tethered version for about a year now after a sales rep detonated it on me in the store. I was immediately sold. I commute to college and work almost everyday. I mainly ride without the backpack zipped on (in vest mode), but it's handy in a pinch. I treat the airbag like a helmet: never get on the bike without it.
I like the fact you can detach the bag so its just like the basic over the vest airbag. I dislike the lack of coverage vs other vests.
Love the ease of use and restocking the canister.
As stated in other comments, EU gets a fork sensor for standstill deployment.
Its an airbag to consider.
Im using a RST vest that has an air bag included right now. If i every decide to change it, I'm between this and an Alpinestar under the vest system.
Thanks for the review!
This is a really good product with only a minor miss or two. It would be nice if it had some hip/side ribcage protection. I understand the size adjustments are there but that could be addressed. I have a tethered Hit-Air MLV2-RC ("harness" design) that could easily accommodate a zip-off/on backpack (but doesn't) and has hip/side protection. And it would be nice if the US-spec fork sensor is available soon, which would eliminate the dead-stop/no-deployment issue.
Aside from the hideous styling (unless you are a fan of early 00s corporate merch?), it's a fantastic product!
Love the concept, but still not entirely sold on the cervical protection. The Turtle looks like it’s still the king of protecting the c-spine.
Its 18kph 11mph for it deploy. I owned mine for 6 months and use it every ride. If just a cruise i remove the backpack and just use it as a vest. The backpack holds loads.
I ride a sport bike with no storage. No other airbag system allows you to wear a backback. So this was my option.
Went electronic for ease. So far not needed it!
Wish they were cheaper to save more people.
I really like the concept of this but i really wish it had more neck stabilization like some other vests. I wish it was at least cheaper than some of its more robust competitors. I guess if you really hate wearing jackets its a good alternative.
I just love this Backpack!
Was always a Fan of Airbags but couldn't really find the right Thing and then this comes around!
To be honest, I'll even wear this when using my E-Bike, because I need a Backpack anyways and other than a OK Bicycle Helmet I have no other Armor to Protect me from a Crash.
Thanks so much for the review. I was thinking about buying one but information about the backpack is pretty lackluster.
Any idea when these will be back in stock?
When will you have it in stock??
HEY kislux I have been watching you for years and im so proud of where you have made it! I love you so much! Also thanks for making my day
I love the idea of this. It would simplify my kit, especially when carrying a water bladder. But, the coverage seems lacking compared to other airbag options. Sans backpack of course. It would have been great if you'd have given some more detail about that.
I bought the electronic version. In the EU they have a sensor you can put on the bike fork and it will cover the case of being hit while stopped and WILL deploy in that situation but that sensor isn't available in the US yet. I assume it's awaiting FCC certification. They did also say that the frequencies are different between EU and US, otherwise I'd just buy the sensor sometime when I was in the EU.
At this point I kinda wish I'd gotten the tethered version, but since I've already used it, I'm stuck with what I have. I may never know if it's a good choice if I never wreck at speed with it on.
You are correct on all points according to what I have read, too. Hopefully that US-spec fork sensor will be available fairly soon. I think you'll feel better about it then. This is a very good product if you need a backpack, if a little too pricey, IMO.
The fork sensor isn't available in Australia either. I contacted Helite and they said due to some roads being quiet rough/pot holes etc, the fork sensor can set the bag off if you hit one, then causing you to have a accident due to the startle. So they aren't allowed here under Australian law. I'm sure other countries have way more pot holes than here in Australia (which that aren't that many...) and they have the fork sensors available. Anyway, mechanical is the way to go.
Tethered system, you said it... "when you come off the bike". It's human nature to hold on when falling, so in some scenarios you hit the ground and slide then the tether is pulled. AI means you start dropping and it's deployed before you hit the floor. The alogorythm can be continuously updated too.
Yeah, that is one of the key benefits Algorithm has over Tethered. Although, Tethered has their own unique benefits as well (no battery, no relying on electronics etc). Different options for different customers though, which is always a good thing for us riders.
Nothing is perfect for every scenario. Tethered airbags are definitely more effective in high sides than low. But that’s generally where you’re gonna get the hardest impact being thrown off. I for one prefer the confidence that whether I’ve been riding for the better part of the month or the vest has been hanging in the closet, that airbag will deploy if I go flying. Keep it simple.
@@MalfosRangerboth types of airbags work better with a high side. Algorithm based systems often don’t trigger on a low side. You can see that in MotoGP. Tether will actually still trigger if the big just pulls away from you even in a low side. (Unlike tracks, there are still dangers after you hit the ground in a low side.)
@@MalfosRanger I have a turtle and did a video call where we deployed and reset the vest once. Super simple mechanism, failsafe and foolproof to replace the Canister.
how do you even know you successfully activated the system
I want an extra tether and cartridge, but they're out of stock everywhere. Really awesome backpack, though,
I don’t miss a day a week kislux This show..
i would play safe and just get a new one after a the airbags deploy
@RevZilla 06:36 surprised Helite didn't mention their optional fork sensor which allows the electronic airbag to detect impacts from 0 km/h. ua-cam.com/video/Pgo-VLHIij4/v-deo.htmlsi=QMO0uOyrkeoUVcga
Helite doesn't make the fork sensor available to the US retailers / market, unfortunately. But it is available for those outside the US for the under 15mph protection.
