Airbag Motorcycle Vests

An Airbag Motorcycle Vest: Mandatory or Not?

Since 2018, an airbag motorcycle vest (also known as "motorcycle airbag") has been mandatory for all MotoGP riders: the increased safety has now been proven beyond doubt. It is expected that they will eventually be mandatory on public roads as well. An airbag motorcycle vest is perhaps the most important invention in terms of protection for motorcyclists since the motorcycle helmet. Motorcycle airbags and complete airbag motorcycle suits have been developed for years by major manufacturers such as Dainese and MotoAirbag, and this will continue to grow in the coming years.

The Difference with Standard Protection

The effectiveness of a motorcycle airbag vest is significantly higher than the standard level 1 or 2 protective pieces integrated into motorcycle clothing. Airbag vests generally offer protection coverage for the back, chest, and neck. Most motorcycle airbags work with an electronic brain that constantly monitors the rider's position and movements with sensors. The moment the brain detects an accident, the airbag is immediately inflated to protect the rider before he or she hits the ground.

Can I Use an Airbag After Triggering?

Most airbag vests can be used again after they are triggered. A major advantage of the Tech-Air airbags from Alpinestars is their reusability: after activation, the system can often be easily reset by replacing the gas cartridges, allowing you to use the airbag again.
