Have just managed to acquire one via Ebay. It is the L-L (Large and lardy?!!) size. It comes with a spare gas cylinder and set me back £350. Given that that package new would have set me back £500 (It set the owner back £516.60 some 21 months ago) and this one still has the labels on it I am happy! 19 Plate R1250RS Exclusive with "bells & whistles" & full colour matched luggage |

Zitat von v8guy im Beitrag #15Zitat von Bunter im Beitrag #14 Aforementioned colleague does indeed have the tethered variant. He has used it at Brands Hatch without incident, and intends to use it at Snetterton tomorrow. Current: 2015 BMW R1200RS Sport SE, 2003 Yamaha TDM900 |

Turtle 2 has just arrived. It is a good fit after I removed the back protector from my Rukka jacket. Weighs a fair amount. So now I will have 5 redundant back protectors from my various sets of biking gear! 19 Plate R1250RS Exclusive with "bells & whistles" & full colour matched luggage |

Zitat von PlacidoD im Beitrag #20 My last 2 jackets, both Rukka, came without back protectors. One was an Airall mesh job and the other a Chariklo end of line special - older style with Z Goretex liner not the newer bonded stuff. I already have 4 level 2 back protectors so the get recycled. For autumn trips to Spain I roll up the Airall into my luggage for the cold leg in UK/France. If it warms up, swap jackets using the same back protector for both. As for winter liners, I don't use them. I prefer a regular fleece as this can be worn under the jacket when cold, at lunchtime from the office or in the evening when staying away. |

In 1999 I went on an official visit to Japan and was given a solid plastic chest protector by Honda. It had a Honda part no but was unavailable in the UK. I brought it back and it sat on top of my locker at work for a few months. I had no intention of using it. |

Good discussion. I was able to pick up a Helite Turtle (mechanical tether) from a friend for $350, who bought two on closeout (no return) for sizing. He needed the XL and the L fit me quite well over my Aerostich Roadcrafter 3 and included a CE2 back protector. I have a backprotector in the stitch, but am leaning towards removing the stitch and using Helite - both to help with ventilation in the suit and allow Helite to work as designed. I haven't done a ton of research on this though, so will make all adjustments prior to upcoming trip. I also need a backup canister - any good US sources?
