Airbag Avertum Tech-Air

Description

The Avertum Tech-Air is a REV'IT! airbag vest worn under a riding jacket, and the maker says it meets the FIM Requirements for Grand Prix Airbags 2018. Three accelerometers and three gyroscopes trigger the inflation system, and the electronics sit inside a shell of 20D polyester ripstop and stretch mesh. It is certified class CU under EN 17092-6:2020 and carries an integrated CE level 1 back protector. The race fit uses elastic at the waist and cuffs, and it fits under a properly fitting textile jacket or a leather jacket with 4 cm of chest room. Until the airbag deploys, the only protection is that level 1 back protector, and the page lists no waterproofing. The spec lists animal-free materials, and leather appears only as a type of jacket the vest fits under.
