Tech-Air® 5 Plasma System

Encore une fois, ce qui ce fait de mieux sur le marché! Tres confortable, très léger comparé à d’autres, système très simple à l’usage, le manuel est très bien détaillé et explicite, le zip d’ouverture est ingénieux pour le mettre en off! Franchement, que demander de mieux surtout pour le prix! Alpinestar for ever!

A pesar de que queda un poco justo y la comodidad sobre todo con temperaturas altas es un poco incómodo merece la pena por la seguridad que te ofrece, estaría bien poderlo desmontar para lavarlo porque al ser para interior coge olor a sudor con el tiempo

Compared to previous generations of airbags or gear from other brands, Alpinestars made a very comfortable piece of equipment with this tech air 5 plasma. It fits nicely under three of the four jackets I owned thanks to a quite low profile. I will have to replace my winter goretex kit to be able to breathe with the airbag and the thermal liner on. Breathability is pretty good overall, l stay dry under the mesh fabric but obviously, under the air bladder, sweat stays trapped and I get a little moist. Combined with a summer mesh-vented jacket, it’s still nice to ride in temperatures slightly above 30°C. Also tested with my mid-season jacket in temperatures between 20 and 30°C. It felt really nice, not bulky at all, no overheating, though warmer than when wearing my former Helite e-turtle. But what a pleasure to wear and display my beautiful jacket rather than an outer airbag. Not yet tested with additional layers underneath - like a sweater or a pullover - but the elasticity of the fabric should do it for winter season. Should I pick an airbag again, I would chose the TA5 any day for my commuting and recreational rides.
