If it feels like armour in your bike kit then the law demands it is actually proper, protective armour. Here's how to tell how effective your impact protection is...
These trousers provide a comfortable fit, accurate sizing, and reliable waterproofing, making them ideal for colder weather. Customers appreciate the generous pockets and long length, though many note the non-removable insulated lining can make them quite hot in summer. Knee protectors can be uncomfortable, as they tend to shift and dig into the kneecap. Despite these minor issues, customers find the trousers to be good value for money, especially during inclement weather.
Good quality trousers with a useful 4 pockets . They fitted ok and plenty long enough . They are quite heavy so I put some braces on to stop them falling down . Only rode for about 10 minutes in the rain so not a long test but didn’t leak
Bought normal size , as have other rst products and always been fine.
These looked big and they are really baggy.
In the pictures they look quite fitted not the case.
Comfortable , have good thigh pockets , ankles are massive , no chance of getting tucked in ya boots if that's your thing. Waist band is adjustable with 2 velcro straps.
It's just the sizing I spend more time trying to pull them up they feel like your wearing trousers designed by MC hammer.
Disappointed but stuck with them now.
Fit was as expected, excellent comfort
Comfortable trousers over long distances, add a thermal under layer and it’s perfect for a long adventure in wet or dry.
Brilliant product size fits great we ordered a L and they are perfect my partner if 6ft2 and they fit great in the leg you can zip the pants to the matching jacket which can be bought along side
I have an hour commute to and from work every day so with the winter months approaching I needed waterproof and warmer clothes whilst riding. I bought these relying on my experience with previous RST items i use and once again I have not been let down. They're warm, definitely waterproof (worn and tested), fit well maybe slightly on the bigger side but thats fine and they look good. Buzzing with my purchase, I've got the matching jacket too
The RST Alpha 5 trousers have quickly become my go-to choice for both short and long rides.
They are incredibly comfortable. The fit is excellent, with adjustable waist straps and leg zippers that allow for a tailored fit. The textile material is both durable and flexible, providing ease of movement without compromising on protection.
They come equipped with CE-approved armor at the knees and hips. I'm quite short so the knee pads felt uncomfortable at first but after adjusting them, they sat better. The material feels robust and seems capable of handling various weather conditions and road surfaces.
The trousers are very warm and have multiple pockets.
Overall, the're a great trouser. They offer a great combination of protection, comfort, and style at a reasonable price. I highly recommend them to anyone looking for reliable and stylish trousers.
Very comfy on the bike not too baggy. no drop in liners to worry about getting in the way. Nice and simple with decent pockets.
Good old SBS does it again.
Great trousers, used for about one month so far on a daily commute of 45 miles each way. They have not leaked and are very warm at the this time of year. They fit over jeans. I bought usual fit which are ok. The quilted liner is fitted so they can get very warm. So far so good for the price.
Very comfortable trousers, fit perfectly as per size guide, good adjustment. Not used yet so can't comment on performance
Great fit very comfortable. Good adjustment straps. Sizing was good. Great In rain. Good pockets 5/5
Nice material, but failed in the waterproof department the first time I used them, left me soaked within half an hour.
Also knee pads were in the wrong place and weren't adjustable as per manufacturers claims. As per their usual good service Sportsbikeshop refunded.
Good quality well made and kept me dry in a torrential downpour. Very warm too. I've removed the armour though to improve comfort when on the bike as they were digging into my knees a bit
Ordered my actual size and they fit lovely. Have kept me warm and dry.
Very padded and useful big pockets on the legs
Boutht these a size larger than normal so I could wear them over jeans for commuting to work. They are comfy for the 2 hr commute, and stayed dry during light showers. I havent been caught in a downpour yet, but if they are as good as my previous RST trousers, I wont be disappointed zips and fasteners all work well with gloves on.
Great quality product, I was pleased with how well the item fitted. Perfect with the Alpha Jacket as they zip together easily and comfortably.
Good quality trousers, have only tried them on at home, as bike is off rd just now. They are a bit long but 34 short wasn't available and I think they'll be ok while riding. If they are as good as my rst jacket in the rain I'll be happy. Like the fact they zip together and all the way round.
Well made, warm - I wanted something with a good rating for my first trousers, this fit the bill perfectly. I chose them as they matched the jacket I bought, zip together well. I imagine they'll be pretty hot in the summer though!

These do have pockets for hip armour.
I'm afraid braces are not included with these trousers.
