UPDATE:
In the Alpinestars Tech-Air App a new software update for the Tech-Air 5 available!
With this software update, the RACE RIDING MODE has now been introduced.
The Tech-Air 5 is delivered in STREET RIDING MODE by default.

Then open the app and select Settings and the Software item there.
Once the Tech-Air 5 vest is turned on and the system is paired with the app, this item can be used to update the system software in the app.

After the update, you as a rider will see the new option “Riding Modes” in the app settings and can switch between STREET and RACE Mode.

compatibility:
The Tech-Air 5 Portable Vest is designed to be worn under any well-fitting textile jacket, bearing in mind that the jacket must be large enough to accommodate the expansion of the airbag in the event of an accident. For textile jackets, this requires an additional 4 cm of space around the circumference of the body. For drivers who wish to wear a sports leather jacket, Tech-Air 5 can also be worn with Tech-Air compatible leather jackets that have built-in leather expansion panels to allow for airbag inflation.
Riders who wish to wear a leather jacket that is not Tech-Air compatible must ensure that the leather jacket has an additional 4 cm of space around the circumference of the entire chest.

Good to know:

• after deployment the vest has to be sent in, because only trained personnel is allowed to take care of the repair of the gas cartridges and air bags – deployment service 314,95 EUR
• if the airbag is still intact, only the gas cartridges are exchanged – Inflator Check 169,95 EUR
• every two years the vest should be sent in for maintenance – Maintenance Service 104,95 EUR

Warning: These vests must not be used by persons wearing pacemakers or other electronic medical devices. Remember that there are magnets inside the activation tab.
