FAQs
Are these pants suitable for summer riding?
Yes, by removing the thermal liner and opening the thigh ventilation ports, the pants are suitable for moderate to warm weather.
Can I remove the knee armor?
Yes, the armor is removable for cleaning or upgrading, though it should be kept in place for safety while riding.
How do I wash the Alpinestars T-SP R Drystar Pants?
Hand wash with mild detergent after removing the thermal liner and armor. Do not use bleach or tumble dry.
Are these pants waterproof?
They feature the Drystar waterproof membrane, which provides high-performance rain protection.
Will these fit over my jeans?
These are designed to be worn as primary riding pants, not over-pants; wearing them over denim may cause fitment issues.
Troubleshooting
Waterproofing seems less effective after long use
The outer fabric may need a DWR (Durable Water Repellent) treatment spray to prevent the outer shell from saturating.
Thermal liner feels bulky
Ensure the liner is aligned with the internal attachment points correctly and flattened out before zipping it into place.
Ventilation feels blocked
Check that the interior lining is not caught in the zipper teeth of the thigh vents.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
For optimal performance, ensure the waist magnetic buckle is securely fastened before mounting the bike. The pants are compatible with most standard riding boots; if you prefer to wear the pants inside your boots, ensure the lower hem is smoothed out to prevent bunching. For maintenance, remove the thermal liner before washing. The outer shell should be cleaned with a damp cloth and mild detergent. Regularly check the condition of the knee armor to ensure it is centered correctly before each ride.
