Wearable Air Bags?

You first . . .

I knew Beemer riders were big on Rain Gear. This takes the accessory apparel idiom to a whole new level.

The MotoGP racers are wearing a similar setup, from Alpinestars.

A good way to snap your neck.

Yeah, but that’s because....we ride in the rain!

There’s no such thing as bad weather. Only bad equipment.

The first product to emerge from their cooperation will be the DoubleR RaceAir one-piece leather suit

Sounds great for the racing industry.......but don't expect it to catch on with the Harley community who would rather wear dew rags than helmets.........

nascarnation said it first. MotoGP and World Superbike racers have had access to this technology for a couple years now in Dainese D-Air suits.

It does not prevent all injuries, but I have seen several riders walk away from very big spills.
