Hit-Air Riding Jackets—From Style to Lifesaving Device in a Split Second

The Atlanta Georgia-based PEDCO distribution company and its subordinate company, Bikebone, have announced that they are the exclusive North America distributor of the leading-edge series of Hit-Air Riding Jackets. The stylish jackets also function as a safety and life-protection device for motorcyclists, sport cyclists, and equestrian riders.

The "Hit Air" jacket uses CE certified armor to protect the shoulders, elbows, and the spine. And most importantly, the "Hit Air" jacket also incorporates an air cushion system. In the event of an accident and the rider is thrown from the seat, the air cushion instantly inflates (within 1/2 second) to protect the rider's body. Activation is simple and automatic. A coiled wire is attached to both the seat and the jacket. Once the rider and the seat are separated, the coiled wire pulls a "key" out of a gas release system and inert gas inflates the air cushion. The inflated jacket provides the necessary impact protection. After a few seconds the gas is automatically released through the gas release valve.

Rueben Jackson, PEDCO's President, notes, "The market for innovative safety apparel is exhibiting rapid growth in the powersports industry and has equal value for the equestrian industry. We examined several airbag safety jackets and decided to select Airprotek as our preferred supplier because the company offers consumers the best value in terms of product quality, ease of use, and attractive styling."

Based in Union City, Georgia, PEDCO, LLC creates and distributes Motorcycle, ATV and Trailer Security products and other powersports accessories. PEDCO's product line includes leading high tech GPS Tracking Systems, high tech Safety Apparel, and much more.
