Alpinestars Tech-Air 3 v2 Leather System

Alpinestars’ Tech-Air® 3 Leather Airbag System is designed to be worn over a motorcycle jacket, but can be worn under the jacket as well, providing effective and practical protection for V-Twin riders, touring riders, urban city commuters and weekend warriors who want to ride protected. Alpinestars’ crash detection triggering algorithm has been developed and refined with millions of kilometres 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 low side or high side 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 with premium softened leather 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.

The pocket has a reflective inner backing for optimised LED visibility and also incorporates a haptic alert, which vibrates to confirm the System is armed, as well as alerts the rider when the battery is running low.
• Integrated back protector pocket on the back can house additional passive back protection.
• Tech-Air® 3 Leather incorporates Alpinestars’ Pro Second Generation compact Electronic Control Unit (ECU) which may be found in the ECU pocket located in the upper back of the Tech-Air® 3 Leather vest.
