In case of any doubt, follow the procedure described below to check if your outer garment
is compatible with the System. Remember to ensure that you select an outer garment that
has the proper fit and should any protectors be present on such outer garment, that the
protectors are correctly positioned. If the outer garment you have chosen is made of leather
or any different, non-stretchable material, it must have stretch panels to accommodate the
inflated airbag after deployment; if it does not have stretch panels then you should NOT
wear it and instead choose another garment that fits the criteria and will be able to expand
to accommodate the inflation of the airbag in the event of a deployment. Upon inflation, the
Tech-Air
Off-Road System's Airbag covers shoulders, chest, and full back areas, accordingly,
®
the System must not be used inside a protective garment, if such garment has insufficient
space to accommodate the inflation of the Airbag, in order to prevent discomfort in case of
deployment. Here are some guidelines on how to check if your outer garment is compatible
with the Tech-Air
Off-Road System:
®
WARNING!
Tech-Air® Off-Road shall be worn with any outer garment that meets
the following criteria: measure the circumference of the chest (A)
and the garment width on the chest region (A1). The garment is
compatible with Tech-Air® Off-Road System if A1 is greater than A
divided by 2 plus 16 cm (A1 > 0.5 x A + 16 cm or A1 > 0.5 x A + 6,30 in)
(see Figure 22 below).
