Verified Customer Reviews for Alpinestars Andes V3 Drystar Textile Trousers

Our customers say…
Customers consistently praise the quality and comfort of the trousers, noting they keep them warm and dry even in cold conditions. However, the sizing seems to be consistently off, with many suggesting going up a size for the right fit. Despite some issues with water seeping in, especially in heavy rain, the overall construction and functionality, including features like knee protection and braces, receive high marks. The trousers generally complement jackets well, offering a sleek look with reliable performance for commuting and touring.

These are my go to textiles. Come with a liner, and unlike other brands don’t feel overly bulky. Waist can be adjusted via Velcro tabs on the side, pockets have good zips.

I’ve had these for around half a year. They have been excellent, super waterproof and very warm throughout winter.
However I tucked the front at around 50-60mph and the knee just burst open leaving quite a deep graze and the other leg rode up while I was skidding across the ground leaving a large area of road rash.
Overall they still do provide you with some protection and all things considered I did walk away from it with quite minor injuries however I would have liked them to preform better and I will be moving away from textile gear from now onwards.
Fit was larger than expected, had to go size up.

Comfy, keep the wind and rain out. Pocket for my wallet, and one for my phone whilst off the bike. Bought from Reading store, so found the right size before purchase. Assistant was helpful. Had them a couple of years now with no deterioration of rain protection. Great choice!

Very comfortable and reasonably warm especially if worn with a base layer in temperatures below 10 C. Good fastening at the ankle to go inside or outside boots. Not entirely waterproof at the seams between legs.

I bought these to go with the jacket i'd bought earlier in the year, these were out of stock elsewhere as they've brought out the new model but i wanted these, luckily Sportsbikeshop had them in stock, delivered quickly and fitted perfectly, thanks

Tested at -2C and during rain and snow. Remains dry after an hour of downpour. The included thermal layer keeps you warm. Leg length (long size) actually reaches your boots when sitting on the bike unlike some other manufacturers (i am 6'4 for reference). Cargo pockets on the thighs are very welcome as a lot of these have pockets very high up. The value for money is excellent. I would pick a size up or 2 sizes up if you are using these as overtrousers.

Sadly they leak at the crotch

I got these over the Bogota trousers because their three layering system was just too cumbersome, these are nicer to put on as the waterproof layer is built in. The warm insert works ok and they are comfortable to wear. they dont come with hip padding, I purchased and added some from Alpinestars.
As a waterproof trouser these worked well on a tour of Scotland when i was using a tank bag. On a ride of 1 hour in the rain locally without a tank bag to deflect the rain I looked like I had wet myself when I finished the ride, not impressed, this is the most expensive set of waterproof trousers I have ever owned, I expected much better.

I wish I had taken previous reviewers advice. I ordered a 34 waist and definitely too small. However, one call to SBS and a return label was emailed to me. Less than 72 later the replacement trousers were delivered. What brilliant service. The kit is excellent. It’s not rained yet but I’m confident they will keep me dry and comfortable. SBS are the absolute go to firm for bike kit. Thanks Team

I wanted a pant to wear Spring and Autumn and these are just right. Lightweight, waterproof and comfortable with minimum intrusion from the very thin armour. I am not a fan of velcro closing on the pockets so have modified it to press studs. I tried the jacket and ended up with them both which were a bargain at the offer price
