The most outstanding feature of these laminated GORE-TEX over-trousers by REV’IT! is that the long zippers are situated on the inside of the trouser legs. Wait, did we really just say that?
It speaks volumes that we skipped over the laminated GORE-TEX part. We’re probably just spoiled by now… Just to be clear: the Alpinus are high-end, laminated, waterproof, breathing all-season motorcycle trousers that should be in every top case, always ready to deploy their excellent services.
Even more: the Alpinus GTX is the most waterproof and most comfortable pair of over-trousers you can wear on a motorcycle. To be fair, that’s what REV’IT! themselves claim but we are more than willing to follow suit on this one. The purpose of rain trousers, linked to the quality and the comfort of the 3L GORE-TEX – and all its breathing properties – can only be practical.
Plus, contrary to rain trousers, you get a SEEFLEX CE-level 2 knee protector and a SEESMART CE-level 1 hip protector too. And a waterproof storage compartment. Besides the adjustment options (waist) you’d expect from regular motorcycle trousers. The knee protectors can be fitted from the outside.
This makes the REV’IT! Alpinus GTX over-trousers that are not only multi-layered but also multi-purpose. With super grip on the seat, reflective strips at the bottom and the atypical position of the zippers that you are used to so fast you’ll start to think that any other way is the weird way.
There is maintenance clothing and then there is clothing maintenance. Good, solid motorcycle clothing is an investment in comfort and personal safety. So invest in its maintenance after your purchase and enjoy your gear for longer.
