The Alpinestars Tech-Air 3 v2 Canvas Vest is a fully autonomous motorcycle airbag system designed to provide active protection without external motorcycle connections or sensors. This tan Tech-Air airbag vest is offered in size XS and uses six integrated sensors, including three accelerometers and three gyroscopes, to monitor riding conditions and detect crashes in a wide range of dynamic situations, including when the motorcycle is stopped. The system activates automatically through the magnetic zipper closure, making it convenient for everyday street riding, touring, and commuting.
The Tech-Air 3 v2 combines protective technology with a practical, packable chassis made from stretch nylon canvas. A ribbed bomber collar and elasticated side panels provide comfort and expansion volume, while the center zipper and internal magnetic snap buttons help secure or conceal the chest bladder when the vest is not in use. Storage includes two zippered hand pockets, two chest pockets, a sunglasses channel in the right chest pocket, and an internal concealed pocket. A waist loop provides a convenient attachment point for gloves or other riding accessories. The vest can be stored in a backpack, saddlebag, top case, or pannier when not being worn.
A discreet front LED display shows the system’s operating status and uses reflective backing for improved visibility. The display also provides haptic alerts confirming that the system is armed and warning when battery power is low. The compact Alpinestars Pro 2nd Generation electronic control unit supports Bluetooth Low Energy 5.0 connectivity with the Tech-Air App, allowing riders to check system and battery status, review rides through MyRide, and update the system software. An integrated lithium-ion battery provides up to 40 hours of operation and recharges in approximately four hours. The removable electronics, inflator housing, wiring, and airbag simplify service, while the vest can be washed with the electronics removed. The Tech-Air 3 v2 is designed for all-weather operation, and replacement inflator canisters are available through select Alpinestars dealers and certified Tech-Air Service Centers.
