This is a reasonable question, but to me, the sense of assumed clairvoyance is unrealistic.
From a probability point of view, it's better to ask: "If you didn't know you were going to crash today, what would you wear?" That is, what would be the minimum gear you put on when crashing is the furthest thing from your mind? |

wellon 4/4/12 I did crash at 55mph and walked away totally scott free. I was wearing Motoport Air Mesh Kevlar,Motoport Kevlar gloves, Sidi Vertigo Boots, Schuberth C3 helmet and most importantly a Hit-Air MLV Air Vest which deployed which absorbed 90% of the impact and prevented me from experiencing any whip lash.
The Motoport gear was repaired and sent back to me in 5 days and the Hit-Air MLV Air Vest took less than 5 minutes to repack and re-arm.  I have the reflective version of the vest. Its actually black but when a flash of light hits it. It turns white for hi-visibility.

How much was the Hit-Air? Where can you buy them in the US?

he was very helpful and great to work with on the purchase / sizing / choices ... I have not yet "tested" mine, but I've watched the videos and am a believer, I always wear it.... The only issue is that when it is REALLY hot, I am tempted to ditch my jacket and just wear my hit-air vest ...

Never ever ride without it
The air vest is just to easy and light not to wear all the time

Coolest possible jacket that still "qualifies" as ATGATT?
I have a trip planned for the end of July for tropical weather ... 100+ degrees at high humidity....
I own one of the hit-air vests that I will be wearing, and am looking for the lightest weight, most ventilated, "jacket" to wear under it ... so that I won't be tempted to JUST wear the vest and thus risk serious road rash  Any thoughts on the coolest possible jacket that still "qualifies" as an "almost" ATGATT since I will have the vest, I'm willing to make some compromises.... My current summer jacket is an Olympia Bushwhacker which is not horrible, but not ideal either... Thanks for any suggestions! |
