Things you should know about motorcycle airbags | The Smart Jacket | Dainese

How Dainese Smart Jacket stands out from other motorcycle airbags?
When Dainese invented the first electronically-activated airbag for road motorcycles, it had only one goal in mind: To offer the best possible protection in a garment that is comfortable and usable by everyone.
Years have passed since then, during which the R&D department has continued to work tirelessly, constantly raising the bar. Today, we are able to offer you Dainese Smart Jacket, a comfortable, lightweight and versatile vest that, owing to the innovative patented D-air® technology, additionally offers incredible certified protection, higher than that of traditional motorcycle airbags.
Let's see together in this video how Dainese D-air® airbag works and what are the most important things you should know when evaluating the effective protection of a motorcycle airbag.

ahaha he barely touched it with the hammer

[@robin4119]

That was kinda funny

[@capers84]

Got mine a few weeks ago! Never ride without it! I love Dainese

Dainese pour la vie💞🤗✌🏍💪

[@RandomGRK]

Lol, dude just tapped it with the hammer.

[@rima2287]

Regardless how hard you hit it then still tapps it lol good eye sir though I was the only one observed that 🤣

[@ralphtazar]

Le mec on dirait une parodie de présentateur loooool mais c'est tellement bluffant techniquement que ça m'a convaincu😉

[@Hysuma.]

Why isn't here in this video a full demostration of how it works when it's on? Instead of some stupid tests that nobody asked about and have absolutely no usefulness at all in a real situation.

[@okandalanay9344]

Can this jacket be used for downhill biking on the mountains as well?

[@007Nox]

Of course

[@saiyamanman]

My question is If you wear this underneath your jacket, what's preventing this from causing damage to your torso because of how it will compress your torso as it expands? it has no where to go outward because the jacket is sealed so it would just move inward?

[@osoiderman]

The only amazing thing here, is how good this company obliviates all the athentic real questions in the comments!! 😂

[@mardelplatalimousines3423]

SAFETY FIRST!

[@krytenLister]

Lots of front and rear protection, but where is the side of the body protection? Better than the competion - dont think so !

[@ferencfan2620]

If we use smart jacket for car or truck driver, will it work?

[@TheCashman007]

i don't see why not , it should work !

[@andraealexander364]

I like that helmet. Anyone know what model it is ?

I have a question. The rear airbag has a level 1 protection and they say that it is equivalent to 7 back protectors. Level 1 must transmit a force of less than 35 kiloNewtons, level 2 must transmit less than 20 kN. How is it equivalent to 7 back protectors if it transmits more force than a level 2 back protector in case of impact? I mean if it is equivalent to 7 level 1 back protectors as indicated in the photo, the force should be divided by 7, it should transmit less than 3 KN as advertised.

[@anzler2511]

Hi, i've had the same question and apparently it is level 1 rating for an airbag which is not the same as level 1 rating for a typical back protector. Hope this helps

[@steve00alt70]

why not just wear a back armour level 2, then a hardshell spine protector then an airbag vest aswell? that will solve it.

[@23indeed1]

How sensitive is it? Would it go off by hitting potholes or small bumps?

[@justposi]

Yeah it goes off when you sneeze be careful

[@ninja1970fin]

Wonder why you have stopped making these leather jackets ?

[@andrew_aden]

can i wear it under my jacket or hoodie?

[@Derpderpson123]

Get the Helite Turtle instead. No sending it back evert year with a cost of €€

[@LKESBO]

One if worst airbag vest , most of the airbag vest's will cover more area of your upper body , the only good thing about this airbag is that u can wear it on the top of u jacket

[@NB-yc1ro]

I assume that the protections body is not only about coverage but compromise of safety and daily use. Dainese is the inventor of the airbag and very serious company, i guess its the best airbag technology on the market 🤔

[@LKESBO]

@@NB-yc1ro as u said ( i think) i had it and i had few others brands, lets say its the lowest in the chart

[@scottishmudders8357]

Depends what you use it for, I use mine for track use I ride in a 1 piece suit with D air built in I can turn it on and off so on the street it’s on on the Track it’s of, alpine stars tech air is rubbish their race series is to uncomfortable and honestly dainese is as far as racing goes the most complete

[@steve00alt70]

Eh your missing the sides of the torso and lats area. It should protect 360 degrees, and just get a car to run over it instead of the motorcycle then we can talk money. Its nearly 2023 we should have 360 degree airbag protection as standard by now.

[@ledovinyamyam7937]

le cout de marteau faiblard

[@ExitStrategyNow]

Unfortunately it doesn't protect the shoulders and the upper arms...

[@firacingast]

I get the sentiment, and understand there's definitely progress to be made in protection for motorcyclists. But the claim is never made that this is the end all be all to protection. And ultimately, as motorcyclists we should understand that we are putting ourselves into more danger every time we ride on the road on a motorcycle. There's no way around that. This product will without a doubt save lives. It's not a perfect solution, but don't let perfect be the enemy of good. This is progress in the right direction. I'm hoping to see lots more innovation in the motorcycling world myself, but this is going the right direction, without a doubt.

[@brettsewell701]

@@firacingast Understood but the alpinestars jacket has protected shoulders for years and now also hips with the new jacket. But as you say there is some good protection from this jacket.

[@hjjr31]

I've been comparing the two and both have major compromises. Arguably your neck and spine are most important to avoid being paralyzed if your head gets forced backwards on impact. Haven't found and electronic airbag that saves the neck like that. Only my helite airbag has that, but its clunky and I wish Dainese or Alpinestars would make something without compromises

[@steve00alt70]

@@hjjr31 do you have the thethered helite?

[@hjjr31]

@@steve00alt70 Yeah I have the original tethered model. I recently bought a Klim Ai-1 rally during Black Friday sales to try out. I'm not fully sold on the collarbone support on the Klim, but the support behind the neck seems good.

Can it get anymore cheesy than this guy?

[@parmezanides4014]

Give me that hammer and you will see :) Also, the compatition does not have airbag on the front size? Really?? :)

[@AlbertVicol]

I would say...lots of BS here. Most covered area? like...where's the shoulder and neck? yeah right...

[@gabzsy4924]

You have the standard rigid protection of the armor of the jacket for the shoulders and the neck is inflated to keep it from moving.

[@Din0zz0]

@@gabzsy4924 Alpinestar covers all

[@scottishmudders8357]

Raced with both the tech air race and D air built in to my leathers D air is leagues ahead never had it deploy on the track but on the streets have sadly had both deploy and I can assure you the Dair is much better

[@AlbertVicol]

@@scottishmudders8357 what you mean by much better?

[@NO-bw5dn]

How about you fix the D-Air app? It is TERRIBLE. I should not have bought this jacket.

[@kfkwAL7]

How is it terrible? You install it, it checks for firmware updates and allows you to update the jacket or put it into transport mode.

[@robertirwin999]

Bought one yesterday. Biggest purchase mistake of my life. USB software upgrade is flakey a pain. Instructions suck. Cables inside jacket are a mess. Charged up twice for multiple hours and it fails to hold charge. Absolute junk. Avoid.
