Key Features / Description:
- The Smart Jacket can be worn over or under any other jacket or outfit and it requires no connection with the motorcycle. It combines all the power of the latest-generation Dainese D-air and the convenience of a garment with a thousand uses.
- All the safety of the Dainese airbag system used in MotoGP and developed in more than 25 years of research on the road and track is now encapsulated in a convenient vest that fits any road situation. The Smart Jacket monitors what's happening around the motorcycle rider 1,000 times a second. It always deploys the Shield when necessary, and only then, to provide the rider with maximum protection.

For any motorcyclists looking for extra protection, Dainese is having a rare 20% sale on its untethered air bag vest.
The Smart jacket is 20% off again, last year this sale lasted only 3 days.
It is still a good chunk of change but it is basically the price of a nice helmet but for protection for your upper body.

If you must go electronic, I'd go with the Helite E-Turtle. $30 refill and you do it yourself. And it comes with a full size CE level 2 back protector.
But I'll be sticking with my tether.

If these only activate when you go down.. who cares what the refill is? (Also, as someone mentioned, insurance may reimburse you anyway.) I mean, if it works - then happy to pay for it. If it doesn't.. well. then you chuck it and not bother refilling.
Technically, if you go down and whack your head - you should be replacing the helmet anyway, so it's not gonna be cheap to lay it down.

TL;DR version: It doesn't work
Nerd-level detail: About 10 years ago, the Cochrane group did a systematic review and meta-analysis of studies on hip protectors. Their conclusions were that in nursing-home settings, they probably decrease hip fractures slightly, but also may increase pelvic fractures slightly, and in private-home settings probably don't decrease hip fractures.
They did also note that while complaints and side-effects were low, compliance with wearing them was still low. That may have skewed outcomes either way, better or worse.
I've seen prototypes and proposals for new studies with a potentially more comfortable and easier to use airbag-based design, but I'm not aware of any outcome results as yet. I would love for these things to be effective (I deal with hip fractures professionally in the ED), but I worry airbags may suffer from the same limitations as foam, and if they cost hundreds of dollars, they will need to show dramatic efficacy or they won't be adopted widely. As for head injuries, there are airbag-helmets out there designed for cycling, but from what I've seen, they don't offer any frontal protection. That is an unacceptable gap in protection for bike accidents IMHO, but may be worth pursing for head injury from elderly falls.
Wrong. Not true. This does NOT require any kind of monthly subscription
