With these waterproof RX-3 motorcycle pants, Alpinestars aims for those who want to postpone choosing between sports and touring. In the sport-touring segment (there you go), this budget-friendly all-rounder is an excellent choice. And perfectly compatible with the RX-3 motorcycle jacket.
Breathing capacities and a modern cut turn these RX-3 motorbike pants into the ideal commuter pants.
As exterior, Ripstop CORDURA® is an excellent choice to be the main component. It is softer and more flexible than what’s used and required in racing and it is more useful in a larger number of terrains but it does an excellent job at acceptable (read: road-legal) speeds. Furthermore, Alpinestars opted for quite a lot of stretch material and this works fine too. The RX-3 gets an integrated waterproof and breathable membrane. Not the absolute top but perfectly suitable for the average commuter and all-season rider. At a bargain price!
The design and the integrated membrane may suggest that the RX-3 as motorcycle pants have a slight preference towards autumn and spring. However, a couple of long ventilation zippers on the upper legs offer direct ventilation and therefore, a cooling effect.
The impact protection used is Nucleon Flex Plus, on the knees. Besides flexible and thin, these protectors are mainly very protective. Bio-Flex hip protectors are present by default.
Stepping in and out of the pants is effortless, thanks to the zipper on the lower legs.
