Alpinestars Tech-Air 3 Leather Vest.
- Tech-Air 3 is a fully autonomous active Airbag System and does not require any external connections or sensors on the motorcycle for the System to operate.
- Tech-Air 3 incorporates six integrated sensors (three accelerometers [one triaxial accelerometer], and three gyroscopes [one triaxial gyroscope]) to provide the best crash monitoring performance in various riding situations, and even when stopped.
- Activates automatically via the magnetic zip closure.
- The System's packable design allows for easy storage in a backpack, saddle bag, top case, or pannier when not in use.
- Outer chassis is constructed from cow leather with a softening process for comfort with ribbed leather elasticated side panels for comfort and expansion volume.
- Upper chest and shoulders feature perforated panels.
- Tech-Air 3 is designed with a center zipper with two internal magnet snap buttons on each side - one to hold the chest bladder in place across the chest while riding, and one to fold it back and conceal when not riding.
- Two zippered hand pockets, two zippered chest pockets with a sunglasses channel on the right chest, and an inner concealed pocket.
- Waist loop to attach gloves or other items.
- A discretely hidden but easily visible LED display on the front chest with reflective inner backing to optimize light visibility indicates the airbag's operational status.
- The LED display also incorporates a haptic alert, which vibrates to confirm the System is armed, and alerts the rider when the battery is running low.
- Tech-Air 3 incorporates Alpinestars' Pro 2nd Generation compact Electronic Control Unit (ECU) which may be found in the ECU pocket located in the upper back of the inner, Tech-Air 3 vest.
- Bluetooth low energy (BLE 5.0) connectivity to the Tech-Air App allows riders to monitor the System's operational status, battery status, as well as provides a detailed map of motorcyclists rides via MyRide.
- Upgradable system software is accessible via the Tech-Air App, where riders can quickly verify the installed software version and eventually perform the latest software updates.
- Tech-Air 3 uses an integrated certified lithium-ion battery, with a battery life of 40 hours and a recharge time of approximately four (4) hours.
- The gas inflator that provides the inflation gas for the airbag's deployment is located in the inflator housing on the left side of the lower back of the rider.
- Tech-Air 3's ECU seal-protection ensures all-weather performance and is certified to function between -20C and +40C.
- The gas inflator housing, electronic wiring, and the airbag are easily removable.
- The gas inflator canisters can be replaced by select Alpinestars dealers and certified Tech-Air Service Centers.
