Not with any of the other suits I bought lol
He bought it with the suit. If he had realised it would create an issue then he'd have just bought the suit and got the airbag in the US (he basically said that in a very recent comment).

yes I would want all the components supplied by the same place as a given which I saw. So does no one do this in the land of the free?
Plus I prefer an integral air bag system having done the separate items. It makes the putting it on and taking it off so much easier.....when you are sweaty..

Well the A* is sort of integral - it's fitted into the suit and stays there. It's very easy to take on and off as it stays with the suit.
There's no logical reason for needing the airbag to be supplied by the people who make the suit. Anyone can take the airbag out of the box and zip and velcro it in place...

Italian.
I don't understand the first line? The Race vest has been solid for ages - it's the 10 I wouldn't touch with a bargepole (based on my experience with it).
What's the issues with 10 that you are experiencing (besides the totally crap software, but that's shared across the board)?
I had the 10 and eventually returned it for a full refund. It had what seem to be common issues - software not connecting reliably to the suit and the hardware not charging.
Lots of people had similar issues with it.
I also didn't like using it. I much prefer the airbag fixed to the suit and an inner suit that's comfortable for me.
The replacement for the Race will be coming out soon and it is also using Bluetooth-connected software, so I really hope they have sorted this out... I have had zero issues using the Race.
Hm, my 10 is built in the (PSI) suit. The software is still crap, but at least it charges ok

No not the Suit. Vircos is one of those word-of-mouth Suit makers that make a lot of team suits, but outside of the racing community not that many people knew about them. Basically if you are a sponsored team but are not sponsored by another suit company you get your suit from Vircos. AlpineStars is an Italian company but has a headquarters right here in the US. I’m gunna order a 2nd Vircos suit provisioned for the Tech-Air Race but not shipped with it. They gave me a deal on the 1st one since I was buying the suit.
Got it resolved:

Interesting. I guess they incorporated the full suit that it's attached to into your suit? Is it removable (lining and system)?
My suit's from PSi as well - I've been pretty happy with it.
The airbag is now detached from its own lining and integrated under the suit's own lining, basically looks factory. The only niggle is that the power cable attaches to the airbag via magnetic coupling, which easily detaches.
I guess you send the suit to PSi if you need it recharged.
I’ve seen quite a lot using 4SR as well.
Yeah
