The Alpinestars Tech-Air 3 v2 Leather Vest is a fully autonomous active airbag system designed for motorcycle riders who want advanced protection without connecting to a motorcycle or installing external sensors. This black 3XL 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 zipper closure and is identified by manufacturer Alpinestars Tech-Air. The manufacturer part number and vendor part number are 6505225-10-3XL.
The vest features a cow leather outer chassis with softening treatment for rider comfort, ribbed elasticated leather side panels for flexibility, and perforated upper chest and shoulder panels for airflow. Its center zipper includes internal magnetic snap buttons that secure the chest airbag during riding and allow the bladder to be folded and concealed when the vest is not in use. Practical storage includes two zippered hand pockets, two zippered chest pockets, a sunglasses channel on the right chest, and a concealed inner pocket. A waist loop provides a convenient attachment point for gloves or other riding accessories.
A discreet LED display with reflective backing shows the airbag system status, while the integrated haptic alert confirms when the system is armed and warns of low battery status. The compact Alpinestars Pro 2nd Generation electronic control unit connects to the Tech-Air App through Bluetooth Low Energy 5.0, allowing riders to monitor operational and battery status, review rides through MyRide, and access software updates. The integrated lithium-ion battery provides up to 40 hours of operation and recharges in approximately four hours. The airbag, wiring, and inflator housing are removable for service, and replacement inflator canisters are available through select Alpinestars dealers and certified Tech-Air Service Centers. Designed for motorcycle riding in varied weather conditions, the Tech-Air 3 v2 Leather Vest is intended to be worn over compatible riding apparel and should be maintained with an appropriate leather cleaner when needed.
