Hi all. Was reading about this suit and now my mrs thinks I should invest in it coz its got airbags. Anyone got one? Is it comfy and worth the 1250 price tag?

These are the specs:
- DPS neck airbag system to protect the neck
- Removable CE level 1 certified Warrior chest protector
- CE certified Biomechanic arm and shoulder protectors
- Removable CE level 1 certified Multitech hip and knee protectors
- Compact aerodynamic hump
- Knee sliders
- Fixed lining
- Neoprene cuff, ankle and collar inserts for optimum comfort
- Adjustable knee protectors for perfect positioning
- 1.2-1.3mm Cowhide
- Vented leather
- Flex Tenax elastic high tenacity 6.6 Nylon for extreme abrasion resistance
- Neoprene

Is it similar to the one Lorenzo wears in MotoGP? Looks quite good and if I could afford it I'd consider getting one. Obviously the airbag system wouldn't help you in every crash but I guess it would be a case of when you need it, you really need it!
From what I can remember of my leathers (Furigans) - 1.3mm is a bit thin... All the rest of it sounds OK though - you'll need your own back protector too.
