Alpinestars Tech Air 3 V2 CanVas Vest System

Alpinestars’ Tech-Air 3 Canvas Airbag System is designed to be worn over a motorcycle jacket, but can be worn under the jacket, as well. This motorcycle airbag system provides protection for V-Twin riders, touring riders, urban city commuters, and weekend warriors.  It is stylish, subtle, and as high tech as it gets.

Alpinestars’ crash detection algorithm has been developed and refined with millions of kilometers of riding data and thousands of crashes, allowing the System to accurately assess when to deploy the airbag ahead of an impact or other dangerous situation like a lowside or highside crash. In the event that Tech-Air 3 detects the start of a crash, the System will inflate the protective airbag in milliseconds, reducing up to 95% of the impact energy transferred to the rider anywhere the airbag protects, which includes the full chest and back. In the event of a direct impact of the rider with another vehicle or obstacle, the Tech-Air 3 System, is effective for the “first impact1,” which means that the System inflates before the rider hits the vehicle or obstacle against which the rider will have the direct impact.

Featuring a main chassis constructed of stretch nylon canvas, and waterproof ECU and electronics, the slim, self-contained System can be worn under a motorcycle jacket, including an Alpinestars’ Tech-Air Ready jacket, or any leather or textile jacket, providing that the jacket has sufficient space to accommodate the inflation of the airbag.

This is an incredible piece of safety equipment, blending a stunning level of technology along with style and comfort.
