The Alpinestars ST-1 Waterproof motorcycle trousers are the perfect companion of the motorcycle jacket with the same name but can obviously also be used on their own. If you are looking for a budget-friendly pair of motorcycle pants with waterproof properties, then you best keep reading.
Alpinestars composed the ST-1 WP motorcycle trousers of a mixture of 600D and ripstop; two types of fabric that are known in the motorcycle world for their wear and tear-resistant qualities. In a streamlined construction with a style that leans towards adventurous touring, this is an excellent outer layer. There’s a non-removable waterproof membrane underneath the first layer. If this isn’t enough you can always employ the removable thermal lining. With these options it would have to be quite an extreme year for these ST-1 WP motorcycle trousers to disappoint you. Comfort and performance clearly go hand in hand here.
The contoured, ergonomic fit, the revised construction of the groin area and the structure around the knees have all been consciously designed to maintain the high levels of movability and riding comfort. The cargo pockets with zip allow for lots of usable storage.
These motorcycle trousers come standard with a set of Nucleon Flex Plus knee protectors that excel in lightness, ventilation and flexibility, evidently without losing sight of protection. Impact protection on the hips (Bio Flex) is an optional possibility.
Opening and closing the Alpinestars ST-1 Waterproof motorcycle pants is easy thanks to a solid hook-and-button closure above the main zipper. In the waist, there are adjustable Velcro straps on the left and right to customise the width in function of any other clothing underneath it.
At the bottom, the pant legs of the Alpinestars ST-1 Waterproof flare out to allow for easy access and exit. You can then finetune the fit with the Velcro. There is no zip.
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.
