I had the Helite Hi Vi which I've just sold. Now going to buy the jacket version. Maybe not Helite, they're very expensive, but there are other companies that do them, like HitAir, whio are cheaper. Excellent bit of kit though.

Bought mine around this time last year, I picked it up from Peters home/office, tried a couple of sizes on with my bike gear underneath and had a test inflation as well as advice on where to tether on my bike.

They are expensive but I'm glad I got it, I considered the cheaper HitAir, but after watching videos I could see the HitAir (might have been updated) inflate where as the Helite seemed a lot faster. The question of how fast is fast enough? I've no idea.

I hope to never need it but I'd not want to ride without it. The only time I don't use it is greenlaning, as I don't want to get it caked in mud and risk puncturing it.
