ALPINESTARS TECH-AIR Tech-Air 3 Utility Vest - Black
Introducing an innovative protective gear solution designed for motorcycle enthusiasts, the Tech-Air 3 Utility Vest is a fully autonomous active airbag system that operates without any external connections or sensors on your motorcycle. This cutting-edge vest features six integrated sensors, including three accelerometers and three gyroscopes, ensuring optimal crash monitoring performance in various dynamic riding situations, even when stationary. The airbag system activates automatically via a magnetic zip closure, providing peace of mind on every ride.
The packable design of this utility vest allows for easy storage in a backpack, saddlebag, top case, or pannier when not in use. Crafted from stretch nylon canvas, it boasts a ribbed bomber collar and elasticated side panels for enhanced comfort and expansion volume. The center zipper is complemented by two internal magnet snap buttons, designed to secure the chest bladder in place while riding and to conceal it when not in use.
Functionality is at the forefront, featuring two zippered hand pockets, two chest pockets—one equipped with a sunglasses channel—and an inner concealed pocket for added convenience. A waist loop allows you to attach gloves or other items effortlessly. The vest also incorporates a discreet LED display on the front chest, with reflective backing to enhance visibility, indicating the airbag's operational status. This LED display includes a haptic alert system that vibrates to confirm when the system is armed and alerts the rider when the battery is low.
Equipped with Alpinestars' Pro 2nd Generation compact Electronic Control Unit (ECU), located in the upper back pocket of the vest, the Tech-Air 3 offers Bluetooth low energy (BLE 5.0) connectivity to the Tech-Air App. This allows riders to monitor system status, battery life, and track rides through MyRide. Software updates are easily accessible via the app, ensuring your system is always up to date.
The integrated, certified lithium-ion battery provides a robust 40 hours of battery life with a recharge time of approximately four hours. Designed for all-weather performance, the ECU seal protection operates efficiently in temperatures ranging from -20°C to +40°C. The gas inflator housing, electronic wiring, and airbag are all easily removable, with gas inflator canisters replaceable by certified dealers. Plus, the canvas vest is washable once the electronics are removed, ensuring maintenance is a breeze.
