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...
The Alpinestars T SP R Drystar trousers offer a compelling blend of sport styling, flexible weather performance, and solid protection. They re perfect for riders who want near-race aesthetics without the commitment of leather. Just be ready to size up and tweak boot combinations.
If you value a sporty profile with waterproof and thermal capabilities and don t mind fiddling with fit a strong recommendation.
Best suited for: Sport-touring riders who want racing flair with practical features. Not ideal if you want a no-fuss, on-off boot fit or true leather feel.
They're acceptable riding trousers, comfortable and well made, but if you want a trouser that you can tuck into your boots this isn't them, they're too long and there's too much material around the ankle, even if you roll them up. I found the sizing true to size and the service from SBS second to none.
Love the look and fit of these trousers. Great fit and true to size. Only gripe to Alpinestars designers is they are designed to fit both inside or outside the boot but the extra material used to make them fit outside restricts the ability to wear them inside a boot. I solved this by creating a small turn up when wearing them inside so the excess material doesn t bunch up and rub your ankle.. Apart from that I am 100% delighted with the trousers. Sportsbike shop is how online shopping should be, I tried two other styles of trousers before these that didn t work out but the return and refund process is quick and painless. Been a customer for over a decade and never look anywhere else for bike gear.
Wanted a fitted pair of biking trousers that looked like a race style fit without them being leather. These were that solution. Usual textile trousers make me feel like the Michelin man and are way too baggy
Make sure you order 2x larger than your normal size if interested in these. Nice trousers and blend the textile/leather sporty trouser line nicely. Shame about sizing
Not many in the boot trousers around, good fit and armour sits correctly. These are rated A but seem tougher than a lot of my A clothes, and seem to be closer to AA.
Done about 600 miles in these I must say they are brilliant. Was caught in a very heavy downpour for 45 minutes and they did let water in but still love them.
Great trousers. They are true to size but low cut and tapered to wear inside a boot, this made them feel like the jeans I would wear off the bike.
Love the fit only fellow short arses will appreciate the problem we have finding gear that suits the vertically challenged!! Very stylish look the part , plenty of pockets and ventilation.
Comfy, fits well with my smx boots and 3/4 zip around to zip to jacket. Been good in rain showers and vents are good when a bit hotter
Very comfortable and lightweight plenty of ventilation which is exactly what I wanted for an upcoming trip to the Alps
Great fit
Super comfortable
Great quality
Windproof rainproof and the fit Is pretty decent too also kneepad armour goes from knee to shin
Waterproof, comfortable true to size fantastic protection, true to size, great quality, would highly recommend these trousers quite expensive but worth every penny!
Purchased in store so I was able to try on and I needed a size up to what I usually have.
Trousers themselves are fantastic. I was getting fed up with wearing leathers on longer rides and wanted textile but without the touring look. This fit what I needed, decent level of protection with zipped ventilation and plenty of movement.
They fit like leather trousers without being too thick and fit inside racing boots, not tested how waterproof they are yet but they've dealt with little showers and kept me dry
Quality trousers , sports look without being leather so more waterproof and practical . Comfy on bike , not that good to walk round in though . I wear shorts under and put in pannier on arrival .
Love the design & fit. Alpinestars describe them as fit with in & out boots but don't really work with either. Zip opening not big enough for in boots & when not tight enough on calf for out boots either.
I use with short boot & they are fine. Armour good & doesn't move but should have hip armour as standard.
