The Alpinestars Tech-Air® 3 v2 Leather Airbag Vest puts a full chest and back airbag inside a classic leather riding vest. 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 to the areas it covers. It runs on its own with no connection to your bike, arms itself when you zip it closed, and can be worn over or under your jacket, so it fits right in 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 Canvas Airbag Vest and the under-jacket Alpinestars Tech-Air 5 Plasma Airbag System.
