Verified Customer Reviews for Alpinestars T SP-5 Rideknit Textile Trousers
Not quite perfect.
07 September 2023 by Anonymous
First of all, the positives. These textile trousers are extremely comfortable and fit well inside any boots. They are a top quality, lightweight summer trouser and flow air extremely well through the mesh panels. Wearing a light windproof mid layer underneath also makes them suitable for cooler mornings or evenings.
However… the fit is a little unusual. They are slightly tight on the waist but, at the same time, slightly generous on the thighs. Hence, I've found Medium to be somewhat neat around the waist but think that Large would probably be too baggy above the knee.
Nevertheless, a good quality product from Alpinestars.
