Note: Read the entire user manual prior to operation. The Tech Air 7x Vest is designed to 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 7x 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 7x'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 7X is $99 USD per canister or $299 USD for canisters and bladder.
