Alpine stars Tech Air Plasma 5 airbag jacket

[casbar]

I’ve used my Plasma with Keis heated vest

Do you wear the plasma over the heated jacket or under?

I was intrigued when I was doing my research regarding various instruction regarding the airbag and the heated vest. Only Inmotion declared that the heated vest will damage the airbag. Personally? If you fly off the bike, you get disconnected from the heated vest so instant combustion in a ball of flame is unlikely from an electrical short. On Advrider there is an entire thread about it.


From Inmotion:

"Incompatible"

✖ Electronic heated vests are not compatible. The heat generated by the heated vest can damage the airbag system."

From Advrider, a user:
"been wearing my Garmin heated jacket liner under my Techair5 vest for 4 years or so. No problems ."

Helite:
"No problem" spoke to a gentleman at the company.
Motoairbag:
"No problem!

I assume for Helite, they are talking about their airbag jackets, as I can't see any airbag over the jacket having any issue with a heated vest under your kit.

I asked if I can use heated jacket with any of their product. He told me "it's not a problem". You will not find that statement on their product sheet, hence me calling the company.

Question...To those who use the Alpinestars Tech 5 new version only.
What is the battery life after 100% charge? I am about to collect my third Dainese vest. It looks like the new update fcked up something. The best I get is 6 hours and 240km. Will do a review after this one but I don't have great hopes.
Looking now at Alpinestar.
