Equipment SURVIVE The airbag you wear Quiksilver Highline Pro Airlift Vest “The Airlift vest is a safety tool, not a performance enhancer. Do not take greater risks while using it.” So says the disclaimer for this surfing aid, intended for only the most experienced boarders facing the world’s largest, most challenging waves. Four pull-tabs are attached to CO2 cannisters that inflate strategically positioned air bladders to send the wearer rapidly to the surface, facing the right way up. Deflation tabs expel the air just as quickly if you need to get beneath the surface before that second wave hits. quiksilver.co.uk PROTECT Skull of hard knocks Hedkayse ONE In Europe, there’s an impact safety test called EN1078 that all cycle helmets must pass, but this assessment doesn’t factor in the daily bumps that can diminish the effectiveness of regular EPS (polystyrene) headgear. So a group of engineers at Loughborough University decided to create a new material – Enkayse – that disperses impact energy rather than deforming to absorb it. The result, according to its creators, is a helmet that can not only take multiple blows and remain within EN1078 standards, but also protect the brain from minor knocks that, it is believed, could cumulatively contribute to brain disease over time. hedkayse.com INSPIRE A nobler time AVI-8 Hawker Hurricane Bader Limited Edition Chronograph The story of Sir Douglas Bader, one of Britain’s WWII flying aces, is wilder than any fiction. A double amputee, the London-born RAF pilot claimed 22 aerial victories – the absence of his legs are said to have better equipped him to resist G-force blackouts, as blood couldn’t drain so far from his brain. “A disabled person who fights back is not disabled… but inspired,” declared Bader – who died in 1982 at the age of 72 – and, true to his word, he escaped prisoner-of-war camps on a number of occasions. This watch, designed in conjunction with the pilot’s family, features his 242 Squadron insignia on the strap and his plane on the second hand, and 10 per cent of all sales go to the Douglas Bader Foundation. avi-8.co.uk TOM GUISE 86 THE RED BULLETIN
