Some modalities of motorcycling are more “in fashion” than others. In fact, a cafe racer rider’s gear is not complete without retro-themed equipment, while a standard or naked bike rider can wear any travel jacket. The same applies to cruisers.
But what if you want to have that complete cruiser “badass” look with a leather jacket or, let’s say, want to add a touch of adventure with a canvas vest, all without compromising on safety? Fortunately, Alpinestars has everything you need with the new Tech-Air 3 Leather and Tech-Air 3 Canvas vests.
The brand has just released the latest members of its Tech-Air family, which only differ in the materials used on the exterior, as these new vests use the same tested and proven Tech-Air 3 airbag technology on the inside.
The secret ingredient that sets the Tech-Air 3 apart from other airbag systems is Alpinestars’ collision detection algorithm. The company states that the system was developed using AI, with millions of kilometers of driving data inputted into the algorithm for the most precise use of the airbag system.
Naturally, airbag systems like the Tech-Air 3 raise the bar for safety, especially when combined with a protective vest with D3O or equivalent protection. Alpinestars claims to reduce up to 95% of impact energy transferred to the upper body of the motorcyclist during a collision, with coverage areas that encompass the entire chest and back of the motorcyclist.
