The Alpinestars Tech-Air® 3 v2 Canvas Vest offers riders comprehensive protection with its fully autonomous active airbag system that requires no external sensors or connections. Equipped with six integrated sensors, including three accelerometers and three gyroscopes, the vest delivers precise crash detection across a variety of dynamic riding scenarios, ensuring optimal safety whether in motion or at a stop. The system activates automatically through a magnetic zip closure, providing reliable deployment in critical moments without the need for external input. Its packable design allows for easy storage in backpacks, saddle bags, or panniers, making it adaptable for various riding styles and conditions.
Constructed from durable stretch nylon canvas, the vest features a ribbed bomber collar and elasticated side panels for enhanced comfort and expansion. A center zipper with internal magnet snap buttons secures the chest bladder in place during rides and allows for discreet folding when not in use. Multiple storage options are incorporated, including two zippered hand pockets, two chest pockets with a sunglasses channel, and an inner concealed pocket, providing practicality for riders on the go. Safety is further enhanced by a discretely embedded LED display on the front chest, which indicates system status and includes a haptic vibration alert for confirmation of arming or low battery warnings. The vest’s electronic system is powered by Alpinestars’ Pro 2nd Generation compact ECU, housed in an accessible pocket on the upper back.
The vest supports Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE 5.0) connectivity via the Tech-Air® App, enabling riders to monitor operational and battery status, view detailed ride maps through MyRide, and perform system updates. The integrated lithium-ion battery offers up to 40 hours of use with a recharge time of approximately four hours. The gas inflator, located on the lower back, provides the inflation gas for deployment, with easy replacement available through authorized service centers. The ECU seal protection ensures all-weather operation within temperatures from -20°C to +40°C, while the electronic wiring and airbags are designed for simple removal and maintenance. The vest itself is washable once electronics are removed, maintaining convenience and longevity for everyday use.
Overall, the Alpinestars Tech-Air® 3 v2 Canvas Vest combines advanced safety technology with practical features, making it an essential accessory for riders seeking reliable protection and modern connectivity in a lightweight, packable design.
