Tech-Air® 5 wearable vest is designed to be worn under any proper 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 this requires an additional 4 cm of space around the circumference of the body. For those riders who want to wear a sports leather jacket, Tech-Air® 5 may also be worn with Tech-Air® compatible leather jackets which have built in leather expansion panels to accommodate the inflation of the airbag. Riders who wish to wear a leather jacket that is not Tech-Air® compatible must be sure that the leather jacket has an additional 4 cm of space around the circumference of the entire chest.

In addition to motorcyclists being able to ride protected during their commute, riders can now easily switch to RACE Riding Mode and ride on closed-course racetracks. The newly released Tech-Air® App allows riders to easily switch between STREET and RACE Riding Modes. RACE Riding Mode must ONLY be used for riding on closed racetracks and not be used for any other type of riding.
