Tech Air 5 Plasma - a good upgrade

08 Dec 2025 by Paul R

Very pleased with this Tech-Air 5 Plasma, it is much lighter than my older Tech Air 5 and very comfortable and unobtrusive to wear.
I never ride without it.
Haven't tried it in hot weather yet but I'm expecting it to be cooler that the previous model.
There's not much wrong with the older version but I fancied an upgrade as I cover a lot of miles on my bike in variable weather conditions.
Very easy to set up and charge.
Hopefully it will never be needed but it provides reassurance,

All round protection

07 Dec 2025 by Wil

Settled on the first plasma after finding the older tech air 5 too tight across the chest and under arms.
The plasma fits perfectly due to the stretchy material it’s made from. It stood out due to the extra protection around the ribs, shoulders and chest. Although the chest protection isn’t rated for some reason but better than having nothing which is what’s in my jackets now.
It’s very low profile and fits under every jacket I own.
Expensive but no subscription cost and has the riding modes I need.

New air jackets, wanted some to suit all my types

05 Dec 2025 by Dave

My first air jacket, I do both do road and adventure off riding, this fits both requirements. Latest product. Well made. It s a snug it so still getting use to it, see how it is in hot weather. It s does mean another lay but I want the best protection I can get. Even it helps me in a minor off, then it worth the money.

Tech Air 5 Plasma comfort

26 Nov 2025 by Rae S

I sold my MAB V4 and bought the Tech Air 5 Plasma because I kept forgetting to tether the V4. So the Plasma is stretchy and very forgiving size wise, obviously this is a garment you don't want to use in anger and so I cannot give any opinion on how good it is in the event of an "off". I charged it up for a couple of hours and downloaded the app to my phone and updated the firmware, all of which was very easy.
