The Alpinestars Tech-Air 3 v2 Leather Vest is a fully autonomous active airbag system designed to provide advanced protection without requiring external motorcycle connections or sensors. This black, extra-small vest uses six integrated sensors, including accelerometers and gyroscopes, to monitor riding conditions and detect crashes, even when the motorcycle is stopped. The system activates automatically through the magnetic zip closure, helping provide convenient protection for everyday riding, touring, and urban motorcycle use. Manufacturer and vendor part number 6505225-10-XS identifies this XS-size Tech-Air 3 v2 configuration.
The outer chassis combines cow leather with a softening process for comfort, while ribbed leather elasticated side panels support ease of movement and expansion. Perforated panels across the upper chest and shoulders promote airflow, and the center zipper includes internal magnetic snap buttons to secure or conceal the chest bladder when the vest is not being worn. 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 items.
A discreet LED display with reflective backing shows the airbag system’s operational status, while the integrated haptic alert confirms when the system is armed and warns of low battery status. Alpinestars’ compact Pro 2nd Generation electronic control unit connects to the Tech-Air App through Bluetooth Low Energy 5.0, allowing riders to monitor system and battery status, review ride data through MyRide, and access software upgrades. The integrated lithium-ion battery provides up to 40 hours of operation and recharges in approximately four hours. The removable airbag, wiring, and inflator housing support servicing, with gas inflator replacement available through select Alpinestars dealers and certified Tech-Air Service Centers. The Tech-Air 3 v2 ECU is sealed for all-weather performance and certified for operation from -4°F to 104°F. Clean the leather vest with a suitable leather cleaner when needed.
