- I was finally able to buy my first airbag jacket, Alpinestars Tech Air 7x, as soon one became available.
Pros: Long back protector, Two self-replaceable air canisters, Max 4 deployments available, each deployment will use one canister, compatible with any jacket specially old jackets with LED on the sleeve, electronic airbag vs tethered and not to mention much better personal safety and be able to come back home safely to your family, wife and kids.
Cons: few hours less battery charge vs older models, magnetic Velcro isn't easy to active at time (but not a big issue) but having a compatible jacket with the LED does help you to know if the jacket is powered on/off or battery is running low and nothing else I can think of. I will make more videos after owning for a while.

Great video,helped me set up my jacket!, Thank you
You're welcome
Thanks, very informative and interesting video. Personally, I don’t know if to buy or not. In almost 15 years I’ve never have had a hard accident .
It's about peace of mind. You have auto insurance that hopefully you don't have to use, in case something happens you know it's there.
Medical charges, permanent or temporary injury plus recovery time and therapy etc. The jacket is worth it, look at the MOTOGP riders; they walk away from most serious injuries due to the airbag.
Also, riding a motorcycle is a hobby in the US vs developing countries. Therefore, riding is a hobby not a necessity for transportation so hobby requires time/money. Also, motorcycles don't save on gas vs riding a car; depending on the 4 wheel vehicle you have at home
In addition to gear, riding a motorcycle requires training. I would highly recommend taking classes or watching riding videos and practicing in a parking lot.
Ride safe 🏍️
Thanks for the intro… great tech! Ride safe!
Your welcome 🤗
Can you do a video demonstrating how it feels or fits for a daily street riding? Are you going to use it for track or under a racing suit? I want to buy one instead of tech 5 but, can’t find a video to see how it feels for a street rider. Thnx
I'm using for street riding only, no track. I want to make sure I come back home safely to my wife/kids. I will try to post a fitting and riding video soon; I didn't have a chance to post follow up videos. However, the riding sizes I went with using the Alpinestars sizing chart, it got the perfect sizes. I went with all season jacket one size up to ensure I can wear extra layers in winter if needed otherwise you don't have to go size up as long. Per Alpinestars support, look at the SKU#, the last 2 digits are for the year; make sure that your jacket is 2022 and above to be compatible as they ensure extra room for the airbag system. Here is the list of compatible jackets www.alpinestars.com/collections/tech-air-compatibility-checker. If you go with non compatible airbag jacket then you may have to go one size up.
What do the two fire icons on the top left mean?
Good question, I wasn't aware of the flame icons so I had to look it up. "The two yellow flames indicate two available Gas Inflators; one yellow flame indicates one available Gas Inflator"
This could be found here in the user manual cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/0258/9160/2490/files/Tech-Air__7x_Manual_v1.0_July_2024.pdf?v=1721212765
where did you find one? It's out of stock everywhere? Thank you
Sign up with the sellers when they restock, just Google it, if you see it then sign up for the alert when it's back on restock.
I signed up at alpinestars.com and sportbiketrackgear.com, I bought mine from sportbiketrackgear.com because when Alpinestars had it available I missed the alert. You would have to buy as soon it's available, make sure you know your size by following the size chart. Good luck and have safe ride, you can't go wrong with this jacket. Check out my other review about compatible jacket with LEDs, you want to go with them so you know your jacket is armed, when riding my jacket went offline few time don't know what caused it to, hopefully I didn't attach the velcro to arm but having LED on the sleeve helps big time.
@@speedysid1229 thank you 🙏
