You might prefer to wear the Iria in summer conditions. On easy rides, in the busy city, when you want to be comfortable and protected, when convenience and safety can go hand in hand. This type of pants is rarely waterproof.

Alpinestars also chooses impact protection that gives little away: the level 1 Bio-Flex Plus armor knee protectors excel at not excelling. They are thin, good and unobtrusive. The same goes for the Bio-Flex hip protectors, which you can optionally fit. And actually, so are the reflective details.
The Iria legging is a pair of motorcycle pants for those who do not always want to wear bike pants. Or for those who always want to wear bike pants.
