Alpinestars Tech Air 5 Plasma System

Alpinestars Tech-Air 5 Plasma Airbag Vest

The innovative and ultra-light Tech-Air® 5 Plasma Airbag System is designed to fit seamlessly under the jacket and provides a comfortable, adaptive fit. It meets the ever-increasing safety requirements of the motorcycle industry without restricting freedom of movement. Thanks to its slim profile, it remains almost invisible under the jacket and offers advanced protection for an optimal riding experience. The Tech-Air® 5 Plasma System, the latest development in the Alpinestars Tech-Air® family, is based on leading protection technology. Designed for maximum lightness, superior comfort and a barely noticeable fit, it offers comprehensive protection for the upper body – including the chest, ribs, back and shoulders. The system is also 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 race – and ensures precise adaptation of the system to different riding situations. The Tech-Air® 5 Plasma features a single airbag charge and a user-replaceable gas cartridge to ensure continuous protection during every ride.
