The new Smart Jacket D-air airbag vest can be worn underneath or on top of any jacket and does not require any connection to the bike.
The vest is available in six sizes for both men and women and is likely to arrive in European stores sometime in July with a retail price of £569.95 (RM3,000).
The “brain” of Smart Jacket is the triggering algorithm.
The electronic central unit analyses 1,000 times per second the data transmitted by seven sensors and detects any dangerous situations, activating the system only when necessary.
The Shield is at the heart of the protection provided by Smart Jacket guarantees that the inflation is even and controlled throughout the entire surface.
This creates a shield that envelops the rider's body and delivers protection to the rider.
Despite not having any form of hardshell protective gear inside, the result is a light and practical garment which, once off the bike, can be easily folded and placed in a bag, a lateral top box or a backpack.
The external fabric of the jacket is ventilated, but the main innovation is found inside: the Shield is in fact folded over on itself, enabling, in normal riding conditions, air to pass through the front part.
The vest is also designed to be worn in the rain, thanks to the water-repellent fabric and waterproof D-air technology.
The long battery life makes the vest more usable by guaranteeing 26 hours of function and fast recharging time.
