Abstract

A garment is provided with at least one inflatable protecting device, adapted to be worn by a person travelling on a motorcycle or the like, includes a radio receiver, a trigger circuit and non-volatile memories. A programmable logic unit interfacing with the radio receiver and communicating with remote radio transmitters mounted on a motorcycle or the like through an identification code, manages and stores in the memories the identification codes detected by the radio receiver. The wearer of the garment can in this way select, via an interface, a code among those available in the memory. In an accident, the air bags actuate.
