ALPINESTARS TECH-AIR RACE-E AIRBAG VEST

The latest version of Alpinestars Tech-Air® technology provides riders with comprehensive upper body protection on the racetrack and in performance, the result of a decade of MotoGP development. After the first generation of the Alpinestars airbag system, this is now the follow-up. The vest can be combined with a range of Alpinestars leather suits and jackets. It is fully self-contained, meaning no adjustments are required for communication between the bike, ensuring freedom and versatility. When fully inflated, the airbag system offers optimum protection for the back, kidneys, chest and shoulders. The E-Race system can also be configured to provide a Tech-Air® E-Street setting for off-track use in off-road situations.
