FAQs
What is the primary use case for these pants?
The Alpinestars A-Supra Race Pants are primarily designed for competitive mountain biking (MTB) racing and aggressive trail riding where a lightweight, mobile, and durable fit is essential.
Are these pants waterproof?
These pants are constructed from Polyester and are designed for breathability and mobility. They are not fully waterproof but may offer some resistance to light moisture. For heavy rain, consider dedicated waterproof riding gear.

Can I wear knee pads under these pants?

What is the main benefit of the Polyester material?
Polyester offers a combination of being lightweight, durable, moisture-wicking, and quick-drying, making it ideal for high-exertion activities like mountain biking.
How should I wash and care for the pants?
Machine wash cold with like colors, using a mild detergent. Tumble dry on low heat or hang dry. Avoid fabric softeners and bleach. Do not iron.
What does the 'racing DNA' design refer to?
This refers to the pants' aesthetic and functional elements inspired by motocross racing gear, including a performance fit and prominent branding like the Alpinestars wordmark on the back yoke, contributing to a professional racing look.
Troubleshooting
Pants feel too tight or restrictive.
Ensure you have selected the correct size. Consider the snug racing fit; if a looser feel is desired, try sizing up or exploring alternative models designed for a more relaxed fit.
Stitching appears to be coming loose.
Inspect the stitching for damage. For minor issues, a professional tailor may be able to reinforce it. Contact Alpinestars customer support if the issue is significant or occurs early in the product's life.
Fabric loses its water-repellent properties.
This can occur over time with washing. Re-apply a DWR (Durable Water Repellent) treatment suitable for technical fabrics according to the product's instructions.
Zipper is stiff or difficult to move.
Clean the zipper track to remove any dirt or debris. Apply a small amount of silicone-based lubricant or a graphite pencil lead to the zipper teeth to help it glide smoothly.
