1. Introduction
15
Dear User, thank you for choosing an Alpinestars Product!
16
The Tech-Air® 5 System (hereinafter referred to as "System" and/or "Tech-Air® 5 System") is
an active safety system for mainstream/recreational motorcycling, which offers protection
18
to a motorcycle user both as a rider or passenger. In the event of an accident or other
19
triggering event, the System provides complete upper body protection as it covers the user's
shoulder, chest, ribs and full back, regardless of the type of motorcycle used. The System is
20
designed to function in both road riding and light off-road riding situations (subject to the
Off-Road limitations indicated in Section 3 below).
21
Tech-Air® 5 System consists of a standalone vest which is designed to protect from impacts
21
occurring during an accident. It does not provide any protection against possible abrasion
24
during an accident, therefore, the System must be always used in combination with an outer
protective garment, compatible with the System (for further information see "Compatible
25
Garment/garment" in Section 8).
25
WARNING! The System, including its components, are technologically advanced
28
pieces of motorcycling safety equipment and should not be treated
like a normal motorcycle garment. Similar to one's motorcycle,
the System and its components must be cared for, serviced and
maintained, so that they may function correctly.
WARNING! The System MUST be used in combination with an outer protective
garment, compatible with the System (Section 8).
WARNING! It is essential to read this Guide carefully, to understand it completely
and to follow the advice and warnings. If you have any questions
regarding the equipment contact Tech-Air® Support (Section 19).
IMPORTANT! Without any additional notice, Alpinestars reserves all rights to, from time
to time, update the software and or the electronic components of the Tech-
Air® 5 System.
