FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS ABOUT ROCK TOOL CO AIRBAG VESTS
How does a Rock Tool Co airbag vest work?
The Rock Tool Co I-ARMOUR system is fully mechanical, simple, and reliable. Just attach the lanyard of the vest to your motorcycle’s frame. At that moment, the system becomes armed and ready to activate.
If a crash or sudden separation between the rider and the motorcycle occurs, the mechanical trigger releases the CO₂ cartridge, inflating the vest within milliseconds and protecting the neck, back, chest, and abdomen.
How fast does the airbag deploy?
The system inflates in less than 200 milliseconds, expanding the airbag before the impact happens. This reaction time is even faster than a blink.
Can the vest be reused after deployment?
Yes. If the vest has not suffered any structural damage, simply replace the CO₂ cartridge and reassemble it. You can follow the detailed instructions in the user manual or on our website.
Official replacement cartridges are available from authorized retailers or directly at airbagmotorocktool.com.
Can it activate accidentally?
No. The Rock Tool Co mechanical system requires a minimum force of 20 kg to activate, so it will not deploy while riding or during normal movement.
If you forget to disconnect it before dismounting, it may activate, but without any danger to the user. You’ll simply need to refold the system and replace the CO₂ cartridge.
Can I wear it with my motorcycle jackets?
Yes. Rock Tool Co vests fit easily over any motorcycle jacket and allow full freedom of movement. When inflated, the vest applies controlled pressure that keeps the garment close to the body and helps reduce movement or abrasions.
Is it suitable for city and highway use?
Yes. Our airbag vests TOURING EVO, MIRAGE y AIR PACK are designed for both long-distance touring and daily urban riding. Their open, ventilated structure offers comfort and protection on every type of route.

What makes Rock Tool Co airbag vests different from others?
All Rock Tool Co models stand out for their reliability, mechanical technology, and ergonomic design. Depending on the model, they may feature different European certifications that validate their safety and performance, such as:
- EN 17092-6:2020 – resistance and textile construction standard.
- AMC-013 (Alienor Certification) – verification of the airbag system.
- EN 1621-2 Level 2 – certification of the back protector.
The TOURING EVO model represents the most advanced standard in the range, incorporating full triple European certification.
When should I replace my airbag vest?
If your vest has been involved in a crash or shows visible damage to the fabric, seams, or mechanism, please have it inspected by our Rock Tool Co Technical Service before reusing it.
What maintenance does the airbag vest require?
Store it in a dry place and avoid prolonged exposure to sunlight or heat sources. Regularly check the condition of the lanyard, buckle, and CO₂ cartridge to ensure proper function.
How do I choose the right size?
Check the size guide available on the product page. Choose the size that best fits your body, taking into account the clothing you usually wear under the vest. It should fit close to the body but not restrict movement.
Can I wear a backpack with the airbag vest?
Yes, although it is recommended to use a light and flexible backpack. Avoid backpacks with rigid frames or hard shells, as they could interfere with full airbag expansion in the event of activation.
What safety certifications do Rock Tool Co vests have?
The Rock Tool Co TOURING EVO vest is triple-certified under European standards:
- EN 17092-6:2020
- AMC-013
- EN 1621-2 Level 2
These certifications guarantee abrasion resistance, inflation reliability, and maximum impact absorption.
Are there any subsidies or government incentives for airbag vests?
