Alpinestars Tech-Air 5 Plasma Airbag Vest

Alpinestars Tech-Air 5 Plasma Airbag Vest

The innovative and ultra-light Tech-Air® 5 Plasma Airbag System was developed to be worn seamlessly under a jacket and to offer a comfortable, adaptive fit. It meets the ever-growing safety requirements in the motorcycle sector without restricting freedom of movement. Thanks to its slim profile, it remains virtually invisible under the jacket while providing advanced protection for an optimized riding experience. As the latest development in the Alpinestars Tech-Air® family, the Tech-Air® 5 Plasma System is based on industry-leading protection technology. It was designed for maximum lightness, superior comfort, and a barely noticeable fit, and offers comprehensive protection for the upper body – including the chest, ribs, back, and shoulders. In addition, the system is equipped with a Plasma back protector that combines optimal comfort, flexibility, air circulation, and protection. A newly developed algorithm supports three different riding modes – road, off-road, and racing – and ensures precise adjustment of the system to different riding situations. The Tech-Air® 5 Plasma features a single airbag charge as well as a user-replaceable gas cartridge to ensure continuous protection on every ride.
