Made by Held Biker Fashion in collaboration with French modular airbag specialist In&motion, the eVest Clip-in is a riding vest (gilet) with a removable electronic airbag equipped with IPS (Intelligent Protection System) technology to offer the rider "the highest level of safety and comfort".
The eVest Clip-in can be worn under the jacket and hooked through the Clip-in system to all Held jackets equipped with the same quick-release/hook-in technology.
The heart of the system is the In&box by In&motion - a control module located on the back of the vest. It includes the various sensors and the accelerometer algorithm which detect the acceleration and the position of the rider 1,000 times per second. In the event of "unrecoverable imbalance" (an accident), the system detects and anticipates the impact and triggers the inflation of the airbag in a fraction of a second, at the optimal pressure, in less than 60 milliseconds (0.06 seconds).
The data collected and shared by the In&box control module allows In&motion to constantly improve the system - though data sharing remains optional and totally independent of sending various updates. The intelligent algorithm is in constant evolution, development and updating by In&motion, and free updates can be downloaded via USB, WLAN (Wi-Fi) or Bluetooth.
All the hardware and software are included in the garment, eliminating the need for a sensor on the bike and no physical (wire) or wireless connection is needed with the bike. The user can independently make the system operational again after it has been activated/inflated.
Made in 'Sensitive Mesh', the eVest Clip-in features perforated and breathable inserts; the lining is highly breathable with 3D Air-mesh on the back and also includes a back protector certified to EN 1621-2: 2014 with Velcro for inserting an optional chest protector and a pocket for optional rib protection.
The airbag system is available for purchase or rental.
