A simple, understated all-weather riding jacket, the Tech-Air® compatible Tailwind has a durable polyfabric main shell with multiple adjusters for a superior fit in the riding position and subtly integrated class leading CE-certified protection on the shoulders and elbows. PLEASE NOTE: While this jacket is compatible with our Tech-Air 5 Vest system, if you are looking for complete integration (zipping the Tech-Air vest directly into the jacket and hooking the Tech-Air vest up via quick connect cable to have the vest transmit information to the LED panel on the jacket's sleeve) you will need to purchase the Tech-Air street system as the Tech-Air 5 vest is a standalone vest with the LED panel directly on the vest itself and will not zip into the jacket or plug into the jacket via quick connect cable. CONSTRUCTION • 600D polyester fabric with PU coating.• Extended high performance mesh panels on chest, back and sleeves for improved cooling performance.• Strategically positioned shoulder accordion stretch panel inserts have been designed to accommodate Alpinestars airbag system, allowing expansion when the airbag inflates but also offering a high level of anatomical performance and a superior fit when riding without the system fitted.• Tech-Air® compatible; Tech-Air® is the world’s first completely electronic, self-contained, full independent upper body motorcycle airbag system with no bike-to-rider set-up configurations required.• An LED display on the sleeve indicates the airbag’s operational status, while an internal housing located in the CE-certified back protector accommodates the system vest’s ECU.• Detachable waterproof membrane for all-weather versatility.• Multiple volume elasticated adjusters on sleeves for a tailored fit. KEY FEATURES • Accordion panels on elbows help movement and comfort on the bike.• Waist adjustment for an improved riding fit.• Two front kangaroo pouch-style pockets and one zippered chest pocket for real-world practicality.• New ergonomic cuff adjustment closure system, snap button gusset and security zippers for ease-of-use with gloved hands.• Padded areas on sleeves to increase rider comfort.• Multiple reflective prints on the back to make the rider more visible to other road users, especially at night.• Ergonomic touring collar construction for optimized rider comfort.• Pre-curved sleeve construction reduces riding fatigue.• Waterproof front inner pocket for peace-of-mind storage.• Collar construction with rubberized fabric edging plus brushed tricot fabric on inner collar lining for rider comfort and to prevent chafing.• Waist connection zipper allows attachment to Alpinestars riding pants.
