Verified Customer Reviews for RST Alpha 5 RL CE Textile Trousers

Our customers say…
Customers have praised the trousers for their comfort, waterproof nature, and practicality, highlighting features such as ample pockets, adjustable waist, and compatibility with RST jackets. However, some found them warm in hot weather due to limited breathability, and slightly restrictive compared to higher-end models. They're noted for fitting well, especially for taller individuals, and being suitable for both short and wet rides. While the trousers are considered excellent value for the price, some recommend investing in better models if budget allows.

Very warm on cold days, with lining in. During mid season, inners probably need to be removed. What I like about RST trousers is the lining is zipped all around the ankle area of the trouser to secure, not little buttoned hoops/loops, which allow cold air in. Nice practical and quality touch. Not used in heavy downpour yet, hope not to, but used in moderate rain for about 40 minutes, and kept me dry. Came with level 1 knee pads, has pockets but no pads for hips. Used level 2 knee & hip pads from old Bull-It jeans, fitted well. I am sorted.

The adjustable waste was perfect for me as I'm usually between sizes. The material quality is really good and felt comfortable over long rides. Very happy with my purchase.

I bought these for my daily commute and during poor weather they are amazing, they are very warm and keep the wet out, during the summer they were unbearably hot and sweaty but I did expect this and other trousers were needed for the summer

Good pair of bottoms. Very thick, and nice and warm. Waterproof also. Only reason not a 5 stars, when I get on my bike the leg bits rise so my ankles can get a little cold while riding. This might be due to sizing but the next size up for me was way too big so stuck with these. Give them a try sitting on your bike I d recommend, other than that good trousers. Good price.

Great fit, warm, I got a 30inch waist and had loads of room, I'm normally a 32-33 inch waist, I found them to fit a tad big so maybe go down a size, definitely try them on first, can also remove the inner if too warm.

Decent trousers for a new or short journey biker. Honestly if you have the money just buy the more expensive versions. These are basic and more restrictive than better version. They are good though don't get me wrong but there are features you don't get on these than you do on the RST adventure-x pro for example. Like lots of vents. The groin on the adventure pro is flexible making it easy to stretch and move. These ones feel a bit stiff in comparison. Again though I'd recommend them if new or only doing short distances. They are water proof and come with level 1 CE rated armour in the knees.

Well here s my review of the RST Alpha 5 RL CE Textile Trousers. Where to start, brilliant price for the quality. Water and wind proof with waterproof pockets, you re able to tighten the waist and ankles to your desired fit. It s fitted with CE amour in the knees with pockets if you wanted to buy hip armour. I ve not tried how warm the trousers is due to buying it at the start of summer, but I do have to say I ve removed the thermal liner as the trousers don t have any vents and they are incredibly warm. Coming from leather trousers they are much lighter and more flexible. I m returning to bike s after twenty years away I needed some new kit. With Sportsbikeshop just up the road it was a no brainer.

Having worn these for a couple of weeks now they are nice a comfortable, the opening on the pockets fold over and Velcro down so haven’t any water get in them. The trouser themselves have kept me dry in normal rain, I haven’t used them in heavy rain yet. I got them with the matching jacket so they zip together nicely. Very good for the price.

Honestly.. I was a bit sceptical due to the budget pricing. But don't be fooled by the price. Did my CBT forward my DAS and have been blessed with terestial rain all day.My second hand jacket didn't last hour ride without wet sleeves.Trusers have been nice and dry, warm as well for Scottish temperatures. Positive part that the liner is fully removable and washable.
Highly recommended this product for new/budget riders

I found the trousers a good fit over my jeans and boots, although they are snug. Trousers are warm, I haven't tried them in the rain yet.
