Alpinestars Tech-Air 5 Plasma Airbag

Designed to meet the evolving demands of modern motorcycling safety, the innovative and ultra-lightweight Tech-Air® 5 PLASMA Airbag System is engineered to fit seamlessly under a jacket, ensuring a supremely comfortable and adaptive fit. The System's ultra-slim profile delivers an "invisible under the jacket" feel, offering unrestricted movement while providing advanced protection for an enhanced riding experience.

Features:

• Weighing just 1,530 g, the Tech-Air® 5 PLASMA is more than 25% lighter than the Tech-Air® 5, making it the lightest Tech-Air® System to date
• An all-new single-canister design reduces weight, enables faster airbag inflation, and simplifies servicing for quick turnaround
• The quick-release cover, secured with a Velcro hook-and-loop attachment, allows for easy access to the gas inflator—riders can simply insert a finger into the recess and lift the cover to detach it to access the gas inflator. In countires where gas inflator handling and self-replacement by individuals is permitted by local regulations, riders can quickly replace the gas inflator for continued protection on the ride
• The Tech-Air® 5 PLASMA's features a fully modular construction, allowing riders to quickly disassemble the System for maintenance and cleaning. Simply unzip the rear stretch mesh panel, release the quick-access cover, detach both the back protector and airbag from the vest, and remove the LED Display and Activation Zip. This user-friendly design enables quick airbag removal for vest cleaning, providing effortless reassembly of the System. Servicing key components, including gas inflator replacement, is also quick and hassle-free—ensuring seamless functionality with minimal effort
• Provides up to 30 hours of riding time, ensuring reliability for long rides
• Available in eight sizes from XS to 4XL, offering a tailored fit designed to accommodate a wide range of body shapes
• The Tech-Air® 5 PLASMA features three Riding Modes: STREET, OFF-ROAD, and RACE. After the System has been correctly switched on, the User can easily switch between the three different Riding Modes by pressing the button integrated in the LED Display
• When zipped up, the Tech-Air® 5 Plasma automatically activates via a separate internal magnetic sensor, and the LED Display on the lower chest will not only visually indicate the System's operational status, but will trigger a short (1 second) haptic vibration alert to notify the rider and confirm when the System is armed. The System generates a long vibration (3 seconds) when turned off or if the System shows a red Status LED
