What degree of sensitivity exists to deploy? For instance, would it deploy if you have a low speed tip over? And what off the possibility of an unintentional deployment??
From my understanding, you've got two main options (at least on the Tech Air 5). Street mode, which will deploy basically any time you fall over. It's kinda a toss up if you fall over from a stop but I would imagine it'd deploy most of the time in those scenarios. This mode is different from race mode in that it's ALWAYS scanning (with the idea being on the street, you may get rear ended or some other accident where you may be totally stopped and still get in an accident). Race mode on the other hand doesn't kick on until 18mph or higher, so you could run this and never have to worry about an accidental deployment but you will also not be protected in the event of a low-speed or rear-end collision.
How to wear this in the winter? I supposed this has to be the very 1st layer? Or jusr after your shirt? Looks like this wont fit over a hoodie or a long thicker shirt for the winter
It’s totally worth it .. I fell down today and was thanking the tech air 5 as I walked away with a sprain instead of a broken shoulder
How smelly does the tech air 5 get? From what I understand you can’t wash it with water

Just got mine this winter, you can wear it over your under layer thermals or shirts, thicker hoodies and thicker jackets go over it
Does anyone have any experience with doing wheelies with this vest on, does it deploy accidentally ?
I have not had any accidental deployments while using this and popping wheelies.
