Yes, the cartridge is designed for user replacement. Simply unscrew the cartridge compartment, insert a new CE‑certified cartridge, and secure the cover. No special tools are required.

Is the protector compatible with all Alpinestars jackets?

The Tech‑Air 3 Leather system is compatible with most Alpinestars jackets that feature the standard mounting slots. Check the jacket’s product specifications for confirmation.

What maintenance is required?

Periodically inspect the leather for signs of wear, ensure the ECU seal remains intact, and replace the gas cartridge after each deployment or according to the manufacturer’s service interval.
