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.
