Some forms of motorcycling are more “fashionable” than others. In fact, a cafe racer’s outfit isn’t complete without retro-themed gear, while a rider on a standard or naked bike can wear any travel jacket. The same applies to cruisers.
But what if you want to get that “badass” cruiser look complete with a leather jacket or, say, want to add a touch of adventure with a canvas vest, all without skimping 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 launched the latest members of its Tech-Air family, which differ only in the materials used on the outside, as these new vests use the same tried and tested Tech-Air 3 airbag technology on the inside.
The secret ingredient that sets Tech-Air 3 apart from other airbag systems is Alpinestars’ collision detection algorithm. The company claims that the system was developed using AI, with millions of kilometers of driving data fed into the algorithm for the most accurate use of the airbag system.
Naturally, airbag systems like Tech-Air 3 raise the bar for safety, especially when combined with a protective vest with D3O protection or equivalent. Alpinestars claims that it reduces up to 95% of the impact energy transferred to the rider’s upper body during a collision, with coverage areas that cover the rider’s entire chest and back.
