The Alpinestars Tech-Air® 3 v2 leather vest offers advanced safety features designed for serious motorcyclists seeking reliable protection. Crafted from cow leather with a softening process, the vest provides durability combined with comfort, featuring ribbed elasticated side panels for a flexible fit. Perforated panels on the upper chest and shoulders enhance ventilation, making it suitable for various riding conditions.
The vest's innovative design includes a center zipper secured with internal magnet snap buttons, ensuring the chest bladder remains in place during rides and can be discreetly folded back when not in use. Multiple pockets, including two zippered hand pockets, two chest pockets with a sunglasses channel, and an inner concealed pocket, offer ample storage options. A waist loop allows attachment of gloves or other essentials, adding to rider convenience.
A key safety feature is the discretely integrated LED display on the front chest, backed by reflective material for increased visibility. The LED provides real-time status updates, including system arming confirmation through haptic vibration, and signals low battery alerts. The vest is equipped with Alpinestars' second-generation compact Electronic Control Unit (ECU), housed comfortably in the upper back pocket, ensuring seamless system operation. Bluetooth low energy (BLE 5.0) connectivity enables riders to monitor system status, battery health, and ride maps via the Tech-Air® App. System software can be updated easily through the app, keeping the vest current with the latest features.
Powered by an integrated lithium-ion battery with approximately 40 hours of life and a quick recharge time of around 4 hours, the vest's gas inflator provides inflation gas for airbag deployment, located on the lower back. All electronic components, including the gas inflator housing and wiring, are designed for easy removal and servicing by certified dealers. The ECU is sealed for all-weather performance, operational between -20°C and +40°C, ensuring reliable protection in diverse environments. Proper cleaning with leather cleaner maintains the vest's appearance and longevity.
The system's modular design allows for upgrades and maintenance, providing riders with peace of mind knowing they have a dependable safety system integrated into their riding gear.
