The Alpinestars Tech-Air 3 Leather Vest provides autonomous active airbag protection for motorcycle riders without requiring external motorcycle connections or sensors. Designed in black and sized Medium, this Tech-Air 3 vest uses six integrated sensors, including triaxial accelerometers and gyroscopes, to monitor riding conditions and detect crashes even when the motorcycle is stopped. The system activates automatically through the magnetic zip closure and is suitable for a wide range of street and touring applications. Manufacturer part number and vendor part number: 6500124-10-M.
The vest features a comfort-focused cow leather outer chassis with ribbed, elasticated leather side panels for fit and expansion. Perforated upper chest and shoulder panels promote airflow, while the center zipper and internal magnetic snap buttons hold the chest airbag in position during riding or conceal it when the vest is not in use. Storage includes two zippered hand pockets, two zippered chest pockets, a sunglasses channel, an interior concealed pocket, and a waist loop for attaching gloves or other items. The compact, packable design can be stored in a backpack, saddlebag, top case, or pannier when not needed.
A discreet LED display with reflective backing shows the system status, while the integrated haptic alert confirms when the system is armed and warns of low battery condition. Bluetooth Low Energy 5.0 connectivity works with the Tech-Air App for monitoring system and battery status, reviewing rides through MyRide, and updating software. The integrated lithium-ion battery provides up to 40 hours of operation and recharges in approximately four hours. The removable airbag, wiring, and inflator housing simplify service, and replacement gas inflator canisters are available through select Alpinestars dealers and certified Tech-Air Service Centers. The ECU seal protection supports all-weather performance from -4°F to 104°F.
