The Alpinestars Tech-Air 3 v2 Leather Vest is a fully autonomous active motorcycle airbag system designed to provide advanced rider protection without external motorcycle connections or sensors. This black 4XL vest uses six integrated sensors, including three accelerometers and three gyroscopes, to monitor riding conditions and detect crash events, even when the motorcycle is stopped. The system activates automatically through its magnetic zipper closure, making it convenient for touring, commuting, and everyday street riding. Manufacturer and vendor part number 6505225-10-4XL identifies this Alpinestars Tech-Air product.
The outer chassis combines cow leather with a softening process for improved comfort, ribbed elasticated leather side panels for fit flexibility, and perforated upper chest and shoulder panels for added airflow. The center zipper includes internal magnetic snap buttons that help secure the chest bladder across the rider while riding and allow the airbag section to be folded away when the vest is not in use. Two zippered hand pockets, two zippered chest pockets, a sunglasses channel, an inner concealed pocket, and a waist loop provide practical storage for motorcycle essentials. The packable design allows the vest to be stored in a backpack, saddle bag, top case, or pannier.
The Tech-Air 3 v2 includes Alpinestars’ Pro 2nd Generation compact electronic control unit, a certified integrated lithium-ion battery, and Bluetooth Low Energy 5.0 connectivity for use with the Tech-Air App. Riders can check system and battery status, review rides through MyRide, and access available software updates. A front LED display with reflective backing shows operational status, while the integrated haptic alert confirms that the system is armed and warns when the battery is low. The battery provides up to 40 hours of operation and recharges in approximately four hours. The airbag, electronic wiring, and inflator housing are removable for service, with gas inflator replacement available through select Alpinestars dealers and certified Tech-Air Service Centers. The vest is designed for all-weather operation and should be cleaned with a suitable leather cleaner when needed.
