The Alpinestars Tech-Air 3 Leather Vest combines advanced safety technology with premium craftsmanship, designed for motorcycle riders seeking comprehensive protection. Made from softening cow leather with ribbed elasticated side panels, this vest offers a comfortable fit while maintaining durability. The perforated panels on the upper chest and shoulders enhance airflow, ensuring rider comfort during extended journeys. Featuring a discreet yet visible LED display on the front chest with reflective backing, the vest provides real-time operational status updates and alerts, including haptic vibrations for system arming and low battery warnings.
Equipped with the groundbreaking Tech-Air® 3 active airbag system, this vest does not require external sensors or connections on the motorcycle. Six integrated sensors—three accelerometers and three gyroscopes—monitor crash conditions in real-time, activating automatically via a magnetic zip closure. The system’s packable design allows for easy storage in a backpack, saddle bag, or pannier when not in use. The electronic control unit (ECU), housed within the upper back, is protected by an ECU seal for all-weather performance, functioning reliably between -20°C and +40°C. The gas inflator, located on the lower back, is easily removable and replaceable through authorized Alpinestars service centers, ensuring maintenance simplicity.
Connectivity features include Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE 5.0) compatibility with the Tech-Air® App, enabling riders to monitor system status, battery life, and software updates. The integrated lithium-ion battery offers approximately 40 hours of use with a recharge time of about 4 hours. The vest also includes practical features such as two zippered hand pockets, two zippered chest pockets with a sunglasses channel, and an inner concealed pocket for additional storage. The waist loop allows attachment of gloves or other items, adding to its versatility. Designed for durability and ease of maintenance, the leather can be cleaned with a leather cleaner when necessary, ensuring the vest remains in optimal condition for years of riding.
Overall, the Alpinestars Tech-Air 3 Leather Vest offers a seamless integration of safety, comfort, and convenience, making it an essential piece of riding gear for those prioritizing protection without compromising style or mobility.
