Buy motorcycle jackets with built-in airbag
It is becoming more and more common to see bikers gearing themselves up with a motorcycle airbag. It is an increasingly common security element on our streets. It is a very effective safety system to avoid serious injuries. It incorporates an air bag along with compressed air cylinders that are activated seconds before a fall. In jackets whose airbag system is integrated, as if it were an inside fabric, it can not be separated and installed in another jacket or suit. There are different types: mechanical or electronic, and they can be put under or over garments.
If we choose a vest with airbag it is very likely that we put it on top of the biker jacket. However, there are others that are designed be placed underneath. In these cases it is important that the jacket is a little loose, about 4 cm left on the circumference of the chest to leave room for the airbag in case of inflation.
There are some jackets prepared specifically to place an airbag of the same brand, as is the case of Alpinestars. On our website you have a filter where you can see all the airbags and also a filter with the jackets compatible with a motorcycle airbag. It is essential to make sure that the product card specifies that the motorcycle jacket you are looking is prepared to place an airbag.
