The Tech-Air® 10 System must ALWAYS be used with a properly
fitting outer garment to the user’s appropriate body size. Use of the
System inside an incorrectly sized outer garment, or with an outer
garment that is not compliant with the size check recommendations
above, may result in the System malfunctioning or failure and injury,
including severe injury and/or death.
WARNING!
1. For the chest area, measure the circumference of the chest (A) and the garment width
on the chest region (A1). The garment is compatible with Tech-Air® 10 System if A1 > 0.5
X A + 12
2. For the hips area, be sure to have 2 cm of space all around the hips area (B).
3. For the Shoulders area (C), be sure that the suit can be raised up 4cm without creating
any discomfort.
9. System Installation and Fitting
To use the Tech-Air® 10 System with an outer garment the user must go through the
following steps:
1. Put on the System, close the Closure Zip (2) from bottom to the top.
2. Close the Activation Belt (4) taking care to correctly attach the hook-and-loop patches, as
shown in Figure 10; the System automatically turns on as soon as the belt is attached with
the hook-and-loop patches.
3. Once the Activation Belt (4) has been correctly closed, check the LED Display (3) to verify
that the System has turned on and that has started correctly (see “Display Indications” in
Section 13). In particular, the user must verify that, after the System starts-up, no system
fault is present.

4. Once the regular functioning of the System is verified as indicated by the green (3a) or
the yellow (3b) and green (3c) LEDs, the user may proceed to put on the outer garment
taking care to ensure that the System remains well fitted underneath the outer garment,
and that the System and the outer garment all fit perfectly in place. Particular care must be
taken to the shoulder areas of the System which must be correctly positioned within the
sleeves of the outer garment.
5. Once the System has been correctly installed, fasten the outer garment.
6. Once the Tech-Air® 10 System is switched on (see “Display Indications” in Section 13), the
System is ready to deploy under the conditions explained in Section 3 above.
It is imperative that the System is fitted correctly in order to provide
the maximum potential protection in the event of an accident. Outer
garments which are too small will cause severe discomfort when the
System is inflated, and outer garments which are too large may not
hold the System in place during a fall or accident. In case of doubt or
questions regarding proper fit, please seek advice from an authorized
Alpinestars’ Dealer.
Always ensure that the Activation Belt (4) is open when the Tech-
Air® 10 System is not worn by the user; check the LED Display (3) to
verify that the System is not turned on.
WARNING!
WARNING!
10. Transportation of Objects Inside the Outer Garment
When using an outer garment, particular consideration needs to be given to the objects
which may be placed inside the pockets. For example:
- Sharp or pointed objects placed in pockets may pierce the airbag and will compromise the
inflation of the airbag.
- Bulky objects may limit the airbag expansion after deployment, potentially reducing the
effectiveness of the airbag and/or making the System feel much tighter when inflated,
thereby increasing discomfort or causing distraction or injury.
IMPORTANT!
Particular attention should also be paid to the contents of the outer
garment’s internal breast pocket. ONLY flat objects such as a wallet or a
mobile phone should be stored within the outer garment’s internal breast
pocket.
