7/20/24 UPDATE: Due to extremely high demand, there is currently experiencing a shortage of Helite electronic vests. We are currently accepting PRE-ORDERS for the next batch, however, we cannot provide an any ETA for these products at this time. In the meantime, your AirHide suit could be used without a vest or with several other brands' air vests. Please see our 2024 Air Vest Buyer's Guide for more information or contact us with questions! We're happy to help walk you through alternate options.

Helite's all-new integrated electronic vest represents the best all-around air vest on the market. A low-profile bladder integrates behind the liner of your AirHide suit and attaches directly to the outer shell, while the gas cartridge and "brain" fit right inside the hollow speed hump on the back of the suit. If you're looking for the least-intrusive, lightest, most convenient electronic vest... this is it! As a huge added bonus, the Helite E-Vest can be recharged trackside in minutes by simply pressing a button and installing a new Helite E-Vest cartridge (which includes an integrated firing pin)! No need to ship it out and wait.

For years the industry has grappled with bulky electronic vests requiring painful repacking fees and processes. In our eyes, Helite has brought to market the first no-nonsense electronic air vest. We are proud and excited to offer AirHide "Powered by Helite" suits factory-equipped with the Helite Integrated E-Vest for 2023!

Please note: Your size may not be in stock if you select the To Be Determined Based on Measurements option. Helite Integrated Electronic Vests not in stock can typically be received by the time your suit is ready but we cannot guarantee the vest delivery date. Separate shipping will be charged if vest needs to be shipped separately.

Can I bring my HELITE product on the plane?

Yes legally, you can take your airbag with CO2 cartridge on a plane in a checked bag. The CO2 cartridge is considered non-flammable dangerous goods. Airlines can confiscate your cartridge for no reason. To increase the chances that your cartridges arrive safely we advise you to download and print the form for traveling with dangerous goods and leave them near the cartridges and the airbag.

We also advise you to leave the cartridge screwed into the airbag and keep additional cartridges close to the vest to help the authorities to understand what they will be used for.
