The Alpinestars Tech-Air® 3 v2 Canvas Vest offers advanced safety for motorcyclists with its fully autonomous airbag technology. Featuring six integrated sensors—including three accelerometers and three gyroscopes—the system monitors crash situations in real time without requiring external connections or sensors on the motorcycle. The activation is automatic via a magnetic zip closure, ensuring quick deployment when needed. Designed for convenience, the vest's packable construction allows it to be easily stored in a backpack, saddlebag, or pannier when not in use, making it ideal for riders who value portability and safety.
Constructed from stretch nylon canvas with a ribbed bomber collar and elasticated side panels, the vest provides both comfort and flexibility. It includes a center zipper secured by internal magnet snap buttons to hold the chest bladder in place during rides and to conceal it when not needed. Multiple storage options, such as two zippered hand pockets, two chest pockets with a sunglasses channel, and an inner concealed pocket, enhance practicality. A waist loop allows attachment of gloves or other essentials, while a discretely hidden LED display on the chest indicates the airbag's operational status. The LED integrates a haptic alert that vibrates to confirm system arming and signals low battery levels for added rider awareness.
The vest features Alpinestars' Pro 2nd Generation compact Electronic Control Unit (ECU), housed in the upper back pocket, which manages system functions. Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE 5.0) connectivity enables riders to monitor system status, battery life, and access ride data via the dedicated Tech-Air® App. Software updates are straightforward through the app, allowing users to keep their system current. Powered by a certified lithium-ion battery with a 40-hour lifespan and a four-hour recharge time, the vest ensures long-lasting performance. The gas inflator, located on the lower back, provides rapid deployment when needed, and the system's ECU seal protection allows reliable operation across a wide temperature range from -20°C to +40°C.
The electronic wiring, gas inflator housing, and airbags are easily removable for maintenance or replacement. The vest is washable once electronics are removed, making it easy to keep clean. Designed with safety, convenience, and durability in mind, the Alpinestars Tech-Air® 3 v2 Canvas Vest is an essential gear upgrade for serious riders seeking comprehensive protection without sacrificing comfort or mobility.
