Alpine Stars Tech Air ... Is it worth it? 

From my understanding, you've got two main options (at least on the Tech Air 5). Street mode, which will deploy basically any time you fall over. It's kinda a toss up if you fall over from a stop but I would imagine it'd deploy most of the time in those scenarios. This mode is different from race mode in that it's ALWAYS scanning (with the idea being on the street, you may get rear ended or some other accident where you may be totally stopped and still get in an accident). Race mode on the other hand doesn't kick on until 18mph or higher, so you could run this and never have to worry about an accidental deployment but you will also not be protected in the event of a low-speed or rear-end collision.

Thats a good question. I actually bought one. How do you clean?

@@Tennisbull-match-statistics Oh good :). I live in the south -- its 100+ degrees here for 5 months of the year :). Have you found the vest? Any deployments?

@@Coldgecko tech-air 5 vest, no deployments. Not great when it’s above 90, even a cooling vest underneath the airbag vest doesn’t get much airflow

Just got mine this winter, you can wear it over your under layer thermals or shirts, thicker hoodies and thicker jackets go over it

I have not had any accidental deployments while using this and popping wheelies.
