Verified Customer Reviews for Alpinestars Andes V3 Drystar Textile Trousers

4.7
104 reviews
Our customers say…
Customers generally appreciated the quality and comfort of the trousers, emphasizing their well-made design and effectiveness in keeping warm and dry. However, many repeatedly noted the notorious sizing issues, needing to size up, sometimes significantly, to achieve the right fit. Despite these challenges, the trousers were praised for their great fit once the correct size was found, with added features like knee protection and multiple pockets enhancing their functionality. Many considered them a solid investment and potentially waterproof, though some details like hip protection seemed lacking for the price.

Great trousers.. but
15 June 2025 by Paul R
I've just used these trousers on a recent trip and they performed really well with both sunny and rainy conditions. I used them in a prolonged period of light to medium rain without 'overproofs' and no leakage. However not used in particularly heavy rain so I couldn't comment on that.

Its a shame they don't do them to color match the blue jacket, but still looks good with the black.
One defect I found was that the fabric tab that holds the braces plastic clip to the trousers had some loose or frayed fabric in it, so wouldn't let the clip pass through very easily. Just in the process of trying to get them fixed or replaced with SBK Shop.
Other than that very comfortable and liners that easily remove.
Sizing sems on the small side so order a size up.

Long
17 May 2025 by Steve
They are comfortable, waterproof and look great. For me, with a 31” inside leg, they are a little long when walking about but great when seated on the bike. I’d prefer if they were an inch shorter but it’s not a deal breaker.

Touring trousers
15 April 2025 by Ben
Worn these through all kinds of weather conditions up here in the Scottish Highlands from the heaviest rainfalls to 25 degrees. Perfect touring pants, I have worn these for 200-300 mile day trips and cannot complain at all. The leg vents are a saviour in hot weather!

Too Quality
10 April 2025 by Neil
I bought a couple of sets from SPORTSBIKESHOP and can’t complain with the customer service offered and returns. The Alpinestars are just great quality, feel so much better then other makes I tried only thing I had to do was upsize on the trousers. Jacket was perfect fitment

Comfortable
21 March 2025 by Chris
Feel comfortable on but had to go a size bigger as I’m usually 32” waist (L) so went for a XL . Have yet to try them out in wet weather but other reviews say they’re good.

Snug fit
01 March 2025 by Mike H
Following the reviews on being tight I thought I'd take the chance and order the correct size. They are snug but they do fit. Actually advise you use the correct leg length though and not go shorter.

Overall they are great and warm, my only bugbear is that the thermal liner often wants to come out when taking the trousers off.

Perfect fit if you go one size up. I was able to try all three sizes of M and XL in store aided by very helpful staff as usual. Came with bib braces, but fit for me was perfect as XL, being 6ft, waist 34", inside leg 32"

Awesome
17 December 2024 by Dylan N
Great trousers, love the option of having short length, as typically motorcycle trousers are always too long on me.
Very very hot for the recent UK weather. But you can remove the thermal liner.
Recommend going a size up.
I've been caught in rain a few times and I've arrived at my destination dry, would recommend.

Collected from store
13 December 2024 by Dom H
I was glad they had my size, which I found after a few try on's. I usually wear 36-38 waist and had to get 3xl to be able to wear over my work trousers, haven't worn them on the bike as they're going to be a Christmas present but hopefully they're waterproof as I have the jacket already which is 100% waterproof. The iPad system in the shop is a right faf and completely unnecessary when the shop is virtually empty.

Excellent - sort of
10 December 2024 by Anonymous
I bought these to replace my Andes V2 trousers.

Same high quality and good fit. Trousers pocket placement has moved (no more zip pockets) which isn't an improvement.

They kept me bone dry in torrential weather for about a month then started leaking at the crotch. Sportsbikeshop (esp' the Bletchley store) were excellent and replaced them with no quibbling.

New pair are dry so far.....

Comfy trousers that have so far held up to heavy rain. Sizing is off as have 2 other pairs of trousers at 2xl and had to get these in 4xl to fit so try before buy is recommended.
