I'm in Austin, Texas for the start of MotoGP's race weekend at Circuit of the Americas and the city is humming. Every manufacturer is doing something around the race, but one event I knew I had to catch was Alpinestars' introduction of the new Tech-Air 7X vest.
The launch was at Motovation Accessories, a local motorcycle spot in Pflugerville just outside of Austin, and the launch didn't disappoint. Now everyone knows by now that airbag jackets and vests are pretty rad tech, and they represent a serious reduction of harm for motorcycle riders. Alpinestars has being going ham on the tech for the last twenty years and is arguably the best in the business in terms of how the company's systems integrate with the rest of its riding gear.
