Product Information
Full details
The Alpinestars Acteon Pants are designed for adult riders seeking a blend of contemporary style, comfort, and protection for diverse riding needs. Their key benefit lies in offering a stylish, regular fit with a tapered bottom, suitable both on and off the bike, while providing essential safety features. A potential consideration is that they are Class A certified, which may not offer the highest level of abrasion resistance for extreme riding conditions. Key features include integrated Level 1 knee protection, an elastic knee gusset for mobility, and convenient storage with multiple pockets.

Can I add hip protection?
The Acteon Pants are designed to accommodate optional Alpinestars hip protectors (sold separately) in dedicated inner pockets, providing enhanced protection.
Are these pants suitable for all seasons?
These pants are best suited for three-season riding (spring, summer, autumn) in moderate conditions. For very cold or wet weather, consider layering or specialized gear.
What does 'Class A' certification mean for motorcycle pants?
Class A certification (EN17092-4:2020) means the pants meet specific abrasion resistance and impact protection standards required for motorcycle protective clothing, suitable for general road use.
How should I clean the pants?
Machine wash cold on a gentle cycle with mild detergent. Do not use bleach or fabric softeners. Hang to air dry and avoid tumble drying.
What is the fit like?

Troubleshooting
Knee protectors feel uncomfortable or are in the wrong position.
Adjust the pant fit or ensure the protectors are correctly seated within their pockets. Some protectors may have internal adjustment options; consult the manual if applicable.
Zipper is stiff or difficult to use.
Gently try to work the zipper back and forth. Apply a small amount of wax or zipper lubricant to the teeth. Ensure no fabric is caught in the zipper track.
Pants feel too tight or too loose.
Refer to the Alpinestars sizing chart for accurate measurements. Proper fit is crucial for comfort and protector effectiveness. Consider trying a different size if available.
Fabric appears worn after limited use.
Inspect the garment for signs of abrasion or damage. While durable, extreme conditions or improper care can accelerate wear. Follow care instructions to maximize lifespan.
