The Stella C-1 Air motorcycle trousers, according to Alpinestars, are the ideal choice for city riders looking for comfort, style, and protection. These breathable motorcycle trousers ensure optimal airflow, keeping you cool and comfortable while you ride.
In our opinion, there’s no need for them to be limited to just the city. The Stella C-1 Air motorcycle trousers are wear and tear-resistant, made from 450D polyfabric and tech mesh for a combination of durability and maximum airflow. The area around the knee offers extra freedom of movement for more comfort while riding. These breathable motorcycle trousers are a great mix of style and functionality. They’ve been developed with great attention to detail and are perfectly aligned with the wider Alpinestars range.
It goes without saying that the large (and always 'open') mesh panels on the front and back provide cooling, which also sets expectations for winter rides and rainy weather. This is summer motorcycle gear. The Stella C-1 Air motorcycle trousers focus on ventilation both above and below the knee. Anyone riding through a puddle will quickly feel their shins getting wet, that’s for sure.
Less visible but equally important is the attention Alpinestars gave to the actual design, with a specific crossover panel focused on comfort and the ability to adjust the height of the Nucleon Flex Plus Level 1 knee protectors. Hip impact protection (Bio-Flex) can be added – the area is prepared for it – but remains optional.
A bit atypical for motorcycle trousers is the absence of zippers and/or Velcro around the lower leg. However, the Stella C-1 Air motorcycle trousers are worn as standalone (motorcycle) trousers, not to be worn over other clothing. Otherwise, their ventilation properties would be lost. You put them on for the ride and wear them all the way to your destination.
Two zippered slash pockets at the front offer a fair amount of storage, and there are two additional pockets at the back. It almost feels like a 'regular' pair of trousers, which is further emphasised by the belt loops and the zip-with-button closure.
