Electronics System:

• Active electronic system that features six triaxial integrated sensors (3 gyroscopes and 3 accelerometers)
• Crash algorithm that leverages AI to accurately monitor when to deploy the airbag in the event of a crash
• 30 hours of riding time after a full charge via micro USB charger
• Bluetooth and App integration
• Capable of both Race and Street use

Airbag System:

• Covers shoulders, chest, ribs and full back
• Maximum inflation time of 20-40ms based on the volume of the airbag size
• Decreases impact force by 95% compared to a passive protector
• Includes argon gas canisters
• Highly ventilated back protector
• Leave elbow and shoulder armor in your jacket, but removing the jackets back protector is recommended (since the Tech Air 5 has one built in)

Operation:

• Zip up vest and close magnetic flap
• Integrated LED display indicates operational status
• To activate: VELCRO® closure at the top of the zipper contains a sensor that arms automatically when the VELCRO® is closed

Washing Care:

• Do not submerge in water
• Spot clean with a microfiber cloth
• Use cold or room temperature water, add mild detergent (ex. Woolite), submerge microfiber cloth, squeeze out excess water, proceed to spot clean the following areas:
  • Left and right inner liner
  • Neck collar
  • Back area
• Avoid the front clasp sensor and ACU on the back where the electrical ports are
• Hang dry in ventilated area, away from sunlight

Everyday Comfort That Packs A Punch

The Tech-Air 5 Airbag System is a slim, self-contained wearable airbag vest designed to be worn under virtually any jacket. The system provides unrivaled upper body protection uniquely covering the rider's shoulders, which is critical in motorcycling accidents, in addition to the chest, ribs and full back. 

The Tech-Air 5 is designed for the track and street, so you'll be protected wherever the road takes you. 

State-Of-The-Art Technology

The state-of-the-art Tech-Air 5 System features six integrated sensors (3 gyroscopes and 3 accelerometers) to continuously monitor the rider’s position. An algorithm developed closely with MotoGP race data and data from over 2,000 lab-simulated crash scenarios determine when and how the system deploys.

The airbag has a maximum inflation time of up to 40ms (or less, depending on vest size). The impact absorption while wearing the airbag results in a decrease of impact force by up to 95% compared to a passive chest or back protector. Inflation time is quick enough to deploy the airbag before the rider's first impact with an obstacle. In addition, the vest will protect stationary riders in the event of a rear-end collision.

No Fuss

The airbag has a battery life good for 30 hours of riding time on a single charge. An LED display conveniently shows the system status directly on the garment. Alpinestars includes a micro USB charger for quick recharging. 

The Tech-Air 5 features Bluetooth connectivity to pair with the Tech-Air App. The app uses the rider’s phone to display the system’s operational status, battery status and provides a detailed analysis of your ride. Over-the-air firmware updates are also handled through the app.
