The Alpinestars Tech-Air 5 Airbag Vest is a protective garment for motorcyclists that will provide them with a way to stay protected as they ride. The vest features an autonomous active airbag design that will inflate if impact is detected to protect the chest of the wearer and help them rest assured they're as prepared as possible when hitting the road.
The garment only requires four centimeters of clearance under a jacket to function, and utilizes a series of six sensors including three accelerometers and three gyroscopes to pinpoint exactly when to deploy the airbag. The Alpinestars Tech-Air 5 Airbag Vest futures a lithium-ion battery pack within that will keep riders supported for up to 30 hours of riding time.
