Tech-Air® 3 is a fully autonomous active Airbag System and does not require any external connections or sensors on the motorcycle for the System to operate
Tech-Air® 3 incorporates six integrated sensors (three accelerometers [one triaxial accelerometer], and three gyroscopes [one triaxial gyroscope]) to provide the best crash monitoring performance in various riding situations, and even when stopped
Activates automatically via the magnetic zip closure
The System's packable design allows for easy storage in a backpack, saddle bag, top case, or pannier when not in use
Outer chassis is constructed from cow leather with a softening process for comfort with ribbed leather elasticated side panels for comfort and expansion volume
Upper chest and shoulders feature perforated panels
Tech-Air® 3 is designed with a center zipper with two internal magnet snap buttons on each side— one to hold the chest bladder in place across the chest while riding, and one to fold it back and conceal when not riding
Two zippered hand pockets, two zippered chest pockets with a sunglasses channel on the right chest, and an inner concealed pocket
Waist loop to attach gloves or other items
A discretely hidden but easily visible LED display on the front chest with reflective inner backing to optimize light visibility indicates the airbag's operational status
The LED display also incorporates a haptic alert, which vibrates to confirm the System is armed, and alerts the rider when the battery is running low
Tech-Air® 3 incorporates Alpinestars' Pro 2nd Generation compact Electronic Control Unit (ECU) which may be found in the ECU pocket located in the upper back of the inner, Tech-Air® 3 vest
Bluetooth low energy (BLE 5.0) connectivity to the Tech-Air® App allows riders to monitor the System's operational status, battery status, as well as provides a detailed map of motorcyclists rides via MyRide
Upgradable system software is accessible via the Tech-Air® App, where riders can quickly verify the installed software version and eventually perform the latest software updates
Tech-Air® 3 uses an integrated certified lithium-ion battery, with a battery life of 40 hours and a recharge time of approximately 4 hours
The gas inflator that provides the inflation gas for the airbag's deployment is located in the inflator housing on the left side of the lower back of the rider
Tech-Air® 3's ECU seal-protection ensures all-weather performance and is certified to function between -20°C and +40°C
The gas inflator housing, electronic wiring, and the airbag are easily removable
The gas inflator canisters can be replaced by select Alpinestars dealers and certified Tech-Air Service Centers
Vest should be cleaned with a leather cleaner if needed
