The Alpinestars Tech-Air® 3 v2 Canvas Airbag Vest is a fully self-contained motorcycle airbag you can wear over or under your riding jacket. Six onboard sensors and Alpinestars' AI crash algorithm decide when to deploy, inflating the airbag in milliseconds to cut up to 95% of the impact energy across your full chest and back. It needs no connection to your bike, arms itself when you zip it closed, and the water-resistant stretch canvas looks right at home on a cruiser, bagger or touring bike.
Note: Follow the Tech-Air 3 sizing chart under the fitment tab for the proper fit. Wearing it over your jacket? Choose the same size as your Alpinestars jacket. Sizes XS and SM must only be worn over a jacket, never under one.
Also available: Alpinestars Tech-Air 3 v2 Leather Airbag Vest and the under-jacket Alpinestars Tech-Air 5 Plasma Airbag System.

Tech-Air 3 Ready jackets we carry:
The Tech-Air 3 can also be worn over any riding jacket. Under a jacket that isn't Tech-Air Ready, the jacket needs about 4 cm (1 5/8 in) of extra room around the chest; see the sizing chart.
Great for: cruiser, V-twin and touring riders, daily commuters and anyone who wants airbag protection without changing jackets.
