The Dainese Smart Jacket, the D-air airbag vest that can be worn underneath or atop any garment. Available for men and women, the Smart Jacket is a foldable, functional article of clothing that does not require any connection to the bike. With the same airbag technology used by MotoGP champions, D-air has been developed by Dainese through more than 25 years of research in order to achieve the maximum level of versatility and is now also built for use on the road.
Dainese s new Smart Jacket is the first airbag vest featuring D-air technology that can be worn either over or under any jacket or outfit, without requiring any connection to the bike. The D-air protector is worn separately from clothing, can be used riding any bike and on any road, and is available for both men and women. The Smart Jacket is also foldable for easy storage in a backpack or top box.
Smart Jacket is the result of more than twenty-five years of research on the D-air system, and combines in a single, intelligent, versatile, now available-for-everyone garment the ultimate in airbag technology for motorbikes, the same used by MotoGP professional riders states Cristiano Silei, CEO of Dainese Group.
The brain of Smart Jacket is the triggering algorithm: At a rate of 1,000 times per second, the electronic central unit analyzes data transmitted by 7 sensors and detects dangerous situations, activating the system only when necessary, deploy a proprietary airbag that fully inflates in 45 milliseconds. Through two decades of development and extensive data collection, Dainese has refined its sophisticated D-air algorithm to predict accidents, including stationary vehicle and stationary rider collisions.
The Shield is the heart of Smart Jacket protection, an airbag featuring Dainese s patented technology that integrates proprietary internal microfilaments that guarantee inflation is even and controlled throughout the entire surface. When activated, The Shield envelops the body and delivers maximum protection to the rider. The Shield covers the chest and back, ensuring the same degree of protection as seven Level 1 back protectors, despite not having hardshell protective gear inside. The result is an extremely light and practical garment that riders can easily fold and place in a lateral bag, a top box, or in a backpack when not in use.
Smart Jacket is also designed with incredible ventilation for further versatility and comfort. The external fabric of the jacket is ventilated but the most innovative ventilation is found inside, as the Shield folds over on itself. In normal riding conditions, this enables air to flow through the front. In case of activation, the Shield expands and covers the entire chest area, providing maximum protection. The Smart Jacket also features water-repellent fabric and the integrated D-air technology is waterproof to protect riders regardless of weather conditions.
Smart Jacket inherits the best practical features from the third-generation D-air Road range, including the ability to have the airbag replaced by an authorized dealer. The long battery life with 25 hours of operation when fully charged – makes the Smart Jacket even more usable, and the garment recharges quickly.

- Deploys and fully inflates in 45 milliseconds
- Data is monitored 1,000 times per second
- The algorithm detects low-sides, high-sides and object/vehicle and rear-end collisions
- Collisions are detected even when stopped, e.g. rear-end collision at a stop light
- 26hr battery life
- No hard-shell parts – airbag provides protection only when needed
- Chest protection meets or exceeds CE Level 2 for airbags, transmitted force is <2.5kN
- Standard armor CE level 2 transmits <9kN so the airbag disperses over 3x more energy than its rigid counterpart
- Back protection meets or exceeds CE Level 1 for airbags, transmitted force is <4.5kN
- Standard armor CE level 1 transmits <18kN so the airbag disperses over 4x more energy than its rigid counterpart
- Weight: 1.8 kg ( 4 lbs): This is less than a motorbike jacket with certified hardshell protectors
- For all D-air products they use Helium while for Smart Jacket a blend of Helium and Argon is used.
