Default Helite Turtle 2 on a trackday

Hi guys,
It's been a verrrry long time since I last posted on here but I thought I'd ask a question of the mighty org.

I'm thinking of buy one of the Helite Turtle 2 air vests - the one that goes over your jacket and attaches to the bike.
This one: https://www.fc-moto.de/epages/fcm.sf...hoCvIMQAvD_BwE
I'm buying it more for everyday riding so don't need the super duper more expensive all electronic GP Air version but I will still want to (at some point) wear it on the track if I can.

My question is this: Has anyone ridden with this on a normal trackday and how did it perform?
I'm assuming it won't just go off if you're leaning further off the bike than you would do on a normal ride? I'm no Marquez so I won't be getting any elbows down or anything ridiculous. Just wondered if anyone had any practical experience.
I would normally always wear a back protector on and off track but this has one built in. Is it safe to just wear this on top of my leathers and no sperate back protector underneath?
A note: My leathers are old but still good! I don't have an aero hump so not having the cut out in the turtle over the GPAir doesn't affect me.

Ta,
Dave

Ask MsV, they own most tracks and have been really quick, and logical recently when I asked about front brake lever guards.
