I am interested if anyone has used an Armored Air Jacket?

I was told about this system by a guy who had a friend's life saved by this system.

facts or opinions welcomed.

Did I mention I ride on the dark side? I might need something like this to safe my a**.

I've heard of them, but that's all. There are some models used as avalacnhe devices for the snowmobile crowd and they work well from what I'm told. Don't see that they could be anything but good for a m/c rider, just like the airbag on my bike.

Seems as though you have already received the best information available.

black and white decision

It is not a black and white decision. The coat costs $600. Now, I could think of a few things I would like buy for the bike for $600. If I delay that and buy the jacket, then get into an accident......and the jacket saves my life, then my bike is all screwed up and I lived to tell about it.

On the other hand, if I spent the $600 on bling.....and I got into the same accident and I died..... then I was doing what I enjoyed doing up until the moment of death. And I would have had all that extra stuff on my bike.

That is good thinking. Live to ride and ride to make living worth the effort.

Wow, you are in for some serious soul searching.

This was one fellows take on a similar subject.

"Life should NOT be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in an attractive and well preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways - Budweiser in one hand - a Hamburger in the other - body thoroughly used up, totally worn out and screaming "DAMN, What a Ride"

See!! Excellent point. You said the same thing with different words.

Get a couple of intertubes and waterwings, still have enough for the chrome.
