Product description
Experience unparalleled safety with the Alpinestars Tech-Air® 3 System, Alpinestars’ lightest autonomous airbag system. This innovative vest is designed to be worn both over and under your motorcycle jacket, making it the perfect choice for touring riders, urban commuters, and adventurous off-road riders. Thanks to its slim and self-contained design, the Tech-Air® 3 system offers maximum freedom of movement without compromising on protection.
The Tech-Air® 3 vest is also available in a special women’s version, ergonomically optimized for a perfect fit. The tailored and tapered cut provides extra comfort and support, making the vest ideal for female riders who prioritize both style and safety. The versatility of the vest allows it to be worn under various jackets, provided there is enough space for the airbag to expand.
The heart of the Tech-Air® 3 system is Alpinestars’ advanced crash detection algorithm, developed and refined with millions of kilometers of riding data and thousands of crash tests. This enables the system to accurately determine when to activate the airbag in the event of a collision or other dangerous situations such as a lowside or highside crash. Once a crash is detected, the airbag inflates within just 50 milliseconds, ensuring the rider is optimally protected before the motorcycle makes contact with the impact object.
The Tech-Air® 3 vest is built with a water-resistant outer shell and a waterproof ECU and electronics, making the system durable against various weather conditions. Its compact and lightweight design allows the vest to be easily worn under any motorcycle jacket, including the Alpinestars Tech-Air® Ready jacket, or under any leather or textile jacket. This ensures that riders can move freely without sacrificing their protection.
Ease of use is a key feature of the Tech-Air® 3 system. The vest automatically activates via the magnetic zipper closure, allowing you to be quickly and easily protected as soon as you zip up your jacket. A diagonally placed zipper provides full chest coverage while concealing the internal airbag, and the magnetic closure ensures a secure and user-friendly seal. An LED display on the chest indicates the operational status of the airbag and warns you when the battery is low, supported by a haptic alert that vibrates upon activation and low battery status.
The Tech-Air® 3 system is equipped with six integrated sensors, including three accelerometers and three gyroscopes, ensuring the best crash monitoring performance in a variety of dynamic riding conditions, even when stationary. With Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE 5.0) connectivity, you can pair the system with the Tech-Air® App to monitor the system’s operational status, battery level, and access a detailed map of your rides via MyRide. The upgradable system software can be easily updated through the app, ensuring you always have the latest security features.
Safety and reliability are paramount with the Tech-Air® 3 system, which complies with strict European CE standards. When inflated, the airbag provides full chest and back protection and is certified according to the EN1621-4:2013 airbag certification standard. This guarantees an impact protection of at least five seconds after activation, with an impact absorption performance of Level 2. Featuring an integrated, certified lithium-ion battery with a lifespan of 40 hours and a recharge time of approximately four hours, you are assured of long-lasting protection. Whether you are commuting daily or embarking on adventurous rides, the Alpinestars Tech-Air® 3 System offers peace of mind, knowing you are optimally protected.
