The Alpinestars Tech-Air 3 Leather Vest offers advanced rider safety with its fully autonomous active airbag system designed for motorcycle enthusiasts. Crafted from high-quality cow leather with a softening process, it provides durability and comfort, featuring ribbed elasticated side panels that allow for expansion and a tailored fit. The vest’s perforated panels on the upper chest and shoulders enhance breathability, making it suitable for various riding conditions. Equipped with a center zipper secured by internal magnet snap buttons, the vest ensures a secure fit while allowing easy access to the integrated airbag system. When not in use, the packable design enables simple storage in a backpack, saddle bag, or top case, providing convenience for riders on the move.
The Tech-Air® 3 system is a state-of-the-art, fully autonomous airbag system that does not require external sensors or connections. It incorporates six integrated sensors, including three accelerometers (one triaxial) and three gyroscopes (one triaxial), to monitor crash risks across diverse riding scenarios, even when stationary. The system activates automatically via a magnetic zip closure and features a discreet LED display on the front chest that indicates operational status and includes a haptic vibration alert for confirmation and low battery warnings. The system's electronic control unit (ECU) is a compact, second-generation design housed in a dedicated pocket at the upper back, ensuring reliable performance in all weather conditions, with an operational temperature range from -20°C to +40°C.
Connectivity features include Bluetooth low energy (BLE 5.0), allowing riders to monitor system status, battery life, and ride data through the Alpinestars Tech-Air® App. The system's software is upgradable, ensuring compatibility with the latest features and updates. The integrated lithium-ion battery provides approximately 40 hours of use per charge and recharges in about four hours. The gas inflator, located on the lower back, deploys the airbag during a crash, and the inflator canisters are replaceable by authorized Alpinestars dealers and service centers. Designed for all-weather performance, the vest's ECU seal protection and durable construction make it suitable for a wide range of riding environments. Maintenance is straightforward, with cleaning recommended using a leather cleaner if needed, ensuring the vest remains in optimal condition for long-term use.
