Has anyone seen one of these? Appearently out for Spring 2018 but Alpine specific - hmm. Long story short suspect pricey but worth protecting a spleen etc.

Just got a quote back: "They will run $1679.95 after tax but my supplier isn't expecting them in until august 17th approx."
Re: Revival Jacket M/C airbag
My missus bought a fluoro waist coat type jacket, armed with a CO2 cylinder and steel cable lanyard that attaches itself to the bike
If you fall off the pull on the lanyard activates the CO2 and the thing inflates in a fraction of a second
It cost about $300 AUD at the time from memory
She's never used it, as the lanyard is kinda bulky and would scratch the paint work as it flaps around whilst riding
Secondly, if you forget you are attached when dismounting the result is looking like a fluoro Michelin man or woman
