Smart Air Airbag System
Important notes
Smart Air Airbag System
The next evolution of the Dainese Smart Jacket: Smart Air is an innovative airbag system that, thanks to its new minimalist design, is incredibly lightweight and ergonomic, and can be worn both over and under any outfit.
Extremely protective thanks to the revolutionary D-air Road system on the chest and back, the Smart Air offers maximum comfort thanks to its extreme lightness.
The strength of the new Smart Air lies in the airbag’s triple activation without the need for replacement, as well as the convenience of the gas generator, which you can easily replace yourself.
Note: D‑air App & Firmware Update 2026
A comprehensive update is available for the D-air system, expanding its operation, control, and range of functions.
All new features at a glance:
- Revised user interface of the D-air app
- Adaptive Guard with Electric Vehicle Mode for easier use of the system on electric vehicles
- Improved battery management with new LED sequences.
These can be found in the D-air app under "LED SEQUENCE" or in the updated manual under "Documents." - Heavy Offroad Mode for demanding off-road use
- Expanded driving and usage overview (Trip Tracking)
Important for you:
After the app update, a firmware update for the device is also mandatory.
Only with the firmware update installed can the full functionality, safety, and performance of the D-air system be guaranteed.
Comfort/Features:
- Easy self-setup via the D-air app
- Rechargeable battery that lasts up to 12 hours
- Well-ventilated and breathable
- Extremely lightweight and ergonomic
- Compact pack size
- Can be worn under or over any outfit—the waistcoat can be expanded via a side zipper
- Revolutionary D-air Road airbag with triple activation
- with integrated, easily replaceable gas generator
Safety:
- Certified Level 2 airbag on the chest and back
Size guide:
The sizes for the new airbag waistcoat are double sizes (XS/S; M/L; XL/XXL)!
The fabric of the Smart Jacket is stretchy and should fit over most items in your standard size.
For example, if you wear a size Bk, then XS/S is perfectly sufficient for you.
You can also adjust the width of the waistcoat using a zipper. If you always wear the waistcoat under a jacket but want to wear it over it for a change, that’s absolutely no problem. The side zippers instantly turn an XS into a Bk, an M into an L, and so on.
Important Notes on Use
To ensure the systems function reliably, please note the following:
- Use only for its intended purpose:
The airbag is designed for motorcycle riding. Activities such as walking or running with the equipment activated can trigger false activations. - Deactivate the system when not in use:
Close the cover flap on the safety button and activate DEEP SLEEP mode to prevent accidental activation. - Also, avoid improper storage:
Do not place the airbag on furniture, in motorcycle cases, or in cabinets while it is turned on. Otherwise, accidental contact with the buttons could activate the system. - Deactivate before dismounting:
Open the on/off button, then wait for the shutdown sequence (rapid red flashing lights).
BkO prevents accidental activation while refueling or during other movements. - Check the battery status:
Check the charge level before every ride—displayed on the user interface.
Why these rules are important
Following these guidelines prevents accidental activations. However, if activation occurs due to improper use, this is not considered a defect. In this case, you are responsible for covering the resulting repair costs.
Good to know:
- After 3 activations, the Waistcoat must be sent in, as only trained personnel are authorized to repair the airbags - Deployment service: Airbag replacement €249.95 + new gas cartridge €119.00 = €368.95
- The waistcoat should be sent in for maintenance every three years—Dainese’s maintenance service is free of charge. Only a flat shipping and handling fee of €59.99 is charged
- With the new Smart Air model , you can easily replace the gas cartridge yourself: Item Nr. 10057838 ( maximum 2 times; after the third deployment, the Waistcoat must be sent in)
How could the significance of the Dainese brand be described? Like this perhaps: Giacomo Agostini, Barry Sheene, Toni Mang, Kenny Roberts, Freddie Spencer, Max Biaggi, Valentino Rossi. The list of world champions in Dainese outfits reads like a Who's Who of Grand Prix Sports for the last 50 years. Or you could name the groundbreaking innovations: The first back protector (1978), the first knee slider (1980), the first aero back hump (1988), the first autonomous airbag system (2000). This list could also be extended ad infinitum. One thing is certain: Dainese has revolutionised the motorcycle world time and again and is still making motorcycle riding better and safer.
