Sizing Note: Alpinestars warns that any Tech-Air 3 System size SM or smaller must not be worn under your jacket and should only be worn OVER your jacket.

Note: Read the entire user manual prior to operation. The Tech-Air 3 Vest can be worn under any properly fitting textile jacket, keeping in mind that the jacket must be large enough to accommodate the expansion of the airbag in the event of a crash. For textile jackets, riders need 4cm of additional space around the circumference of the body. Riders who wish to wear a leather jacket that is not Tech-Air compatible must be sure that the leather jacket has an additional 4cm of space around the circumference of the entire body. Riders can also pair the Tech-Air 3 Airbag Vest with any Alpinestars Tech-Air compatible jacket that features airbag expansion panels. Not intended for use with heated riding gear. Heated gear exceeds the Tech-Air 3's upper operating limit of 122° F. 

Note: In the event of deployment of airbag, contact Alpinestars USA for west coast or Seacoast Sport Cycle for each coast. Detailed contact information can be found on the Instructions tab on the FAQ document on this product page. Pricing to repack the Tech-Air 3 is $99 USD per canister or $199 USD for canisters and bladder.



The Tech-Air series of autonomous airbag systems by Alpinestars are custom tailored for your type of riding. Whether your goal is going fast, commuting in the urban cityscape or exploring the road less traveled, Alpinestars has a Tech-Air autonomous airbag system for you.

Designed For The Ride

The Tech-Air 3 System from Alpinestars is a game-changer for city commuters and street riders seeking advanced protection. This autonomous airbag system is Alpinestars' featherweight marvel making it ideal for daily use, and can comfortably be worn either under or over your jacket.

Protection In The Blink-Of-An-Eye

The Tech-Air 3 combines the Tech-Air 5's A.I. powered Street crash detection algorithm with six integrated sensors to monitor for a variety of dynamic street riding scenarios. The Tech-Air 3 is specifically designed for street use and protects on impact, in a lowside crash, highside crash and when stopped. The airbag activates in milliseconds depending on the size. Once inflated, the airbag provides comprehensive upper body protection, covering your full chest and back. The Tech-Air 3 features an integrated back protector pocket for an additional layer of safety (back protector sold separately).

Bluetooth Technology

An LED display on the front chest indicates that the airbag is on. A haptic alert vibrates when the system is armed, and again when the battery is running low.

The Tech-Air App connects via Bluetooth and allows you to monitor the airbag's operational status, battery life and provides a detailed map of your ride.
