With the Raider V2 Drystar, you can ride carefree through the year. This is the definition of 'all weather', with a slight preference for the slightly rougher conditions. Bring on the weather. You won't have to worry about it.
Slightly pre-shaped and constructed out of a sturdy, hard-wearing shell, these are tangible quality motorcycle pants. Tangible, as in: there's some weight hanging off the peg. The Raider V2 Drystar are biker's pants which radiate confidence from the get-go. The textile (a combination of polyester and polyamide) forms one whole with the integrated Drystar® membrane.
Drystar® is for Alpinestars a sure choice and with good reason. Breathable and waterproof, complemented by a removable thermal lining, that leans towards spring, autumn and winter. Summer is also possible, the ventilation openings on the side of the thigh ensure that, although the Raider has just a little more fabric than the odd pair of summer pants. Just so you know.
Alpinestars is not just a motorcycle clothing company. They are tried and tested, have a lot of experience and a know-how from here to Italy, which you notice as a motorcyclist. A smart construction, the already mentioned preformed shape, attention for the knee joint - folding, stretching, sitting, all with equal comfort - and a series of adjustment possibilities only emphasize this.
Two zippered pockets provide storage.
Impact protection comes standard in Nucleon Flex Plus Level 1 knee protectors, in adjustable mesh pockets. Safety seams are just as worth mentioning, and the reflective components also fit into the 'safe on the go' category. Anyone who wishes to do so can optionally fit a pair of hip protectors. Everything is provided for that.
A connection zipper allows the combination with almost any Alpinestars motorcycle jacket.
