The Alpinestars Tech-Air 3 v2 Canvas Vest is a fully autonomous electronic motorcycle airbag system designed to provide active upper-body protection without requiring external motorcycle connections or sensors. This black 3XL vest uses six integrated sensors, including three accelerometers and three gyroscopes, to monitor riding conditions and detect crashes in a variety of dynamic situations, including when the motorcycle is stopped. The airbag system arms automatically through the magnetic zipper closure, making the Tech-Air 3 v2 a practical choice for street riders, commuters, and touring applications.
The stretch nylon canvas chassis features a ribbed bomber collar and elasticated side panels for comfort and expansion volume. A center zipper and internal magnetic snap buttons secure the chest bladder across the rider’s chest while riding and allow it to be folded back and concealed when the system is not in use. Storage includes two zippered hand pockets, two chest pockets, a sunglasses channel in the right chest pocket, and a concealed inner pocket. A waist loop provides a convenient attachment point for gloves or other small items, while the packable design allows the vest to be stored in a backpack, saddlebag, top case, or pannier when not being worn.
The discreet front LED display shows the system’s operational status and uses a reflective backing to improve visibility. Integrated haptic alerts provide vibration confirmation when the system is armed and warn the rider when battery power is low. The compact Alpinestars Pro 2nd Generation electronic control unit is housed in the upper back, while Bluetooth Low Energy 5.0 connectivity works with the Tech-Air App for system and battery monitoring, ride mapping through MyRide, software verification, and available updates. The integrated certified lithium-ion battery provides up to 40 hours of operation and recharges in approximately four hours. The Tech-Air 3 v2 is designed for all-weather performance, with ECU protection certified for operation from -4°F to 104°F. The airbag, electronic wiring, and inflator housing are removable, the canvas vest is washable with electronics removed, and inflator canisters can be replaced through select Alpinestars dealers and certified Tech-Air Service Centers.
