Safety is a huge factor with extreme desert racing and so I’m a huge believer in the use of air vests. This video I talk through the specifications and my experience with the Alpinestars TechAir off road Dakar approved protection.
It appears like a normal full body armour with elbow, back, shoulder and chest protection but it also has a seamlessly integrated airvest system. It’s a little bulkier than a normal protector but it's incredibly comfortable – and body saving. It feels like a normal body armour but with a bit more bulk and is designed to deploy the airbag system in a crash. Intelligent accelerometers and gyroscopes can tell exactly when the rider needs it deploying before you even hit the ground! Thankfully, you're not going to have an embarrassing curbside inflate as the technology is far more attuned, knowing what's an actual crash versus a little stumble.
This is a compulsory kit for most of the major rallies and it's already saved many breaks and most probably deaths.
