8. Outer Garment
The System must be used with an outer protective garment as the vest is not abrasion
resistant. Provided that the correct sizing is selected, the System can be used with all the
Tech-Air Compatible Garments, meaning also the new generation of Tech-Air
®
garments, as the Tech-Air
to accommodate the inflated airbag after deployment.
It is generally recommended to the user to choose an outer protective garment so that,
when worn over the System, it does not cause discomfort and does not prevent the
functionality of the System.
The System can be used with any abrasion resistant garment designed for two wheeled
motor vehicles provided that the garment has sufficient space to allow the expansion of
the airbag after the deployment. Follow the procedure described below to check if your
garment is compatible with the System. Remember to ensure that you select an Outer
Garment that has the proper fit and should any protectors be present on such garment,
that the protectors are correctly positioned. If the garment you have chosen is a leather
garment, it is highly recommended that it has stretch panels to accommodate the inflated
airbag after deployment.
The System's airbag covers the shoulder, chest, ribs and full back area, accordingly the
System must not be used inside of a leather suit or a 2 pieces leather suit, unless such
leather suit or 2 piece leather suit has sufficient space to accommodate the inflation of
the airbag, as shown below, and it's not too tight in the crotch area in order to prevent
discomfort in case of deployment.
Moreoverr, it is highly recommended to use the System in combination with a protective
garment, therefore certified in accordance with EN 17092-2, 3, 4 or 5 parts, that can
guarantee protection for the uncovered areas.
IMPORTANT! When the System is used with an Outer Garment, other than those
specifically designed for Tech-Air
verify if the Outer Garment provides a sufficient inner volume able to
contain the deployed airbag as follows:
1. Measure the circumference of the chest
2. Measure the garment width on the chest region
3. The Outer Garment is compatible with the System if B > 0.5 X A + 12 cm (B > 0.5 X A +
4.72 in)
WARNING!
The Tech-Air® System must ALWAYS be used with a correctly fitting Outer
Garment of the user's appropriate body size. Use of the System with the
incorrect size of an Outer Garment, or not compliant with the size check
recommendations above, may result in the System malfunction or failure
and injury, including severe injury and/or death.
