The Raider v2 Drystar® Pants are a tailored all-weather textile pant designed to deliver class-leading protection and versatility for touring and road riders. Featuring a multi-panel chassis and a multi-fabric poly-shell construction, these pants offer an optimal combination of durability, protection, and weight. Strategically positioned abrasion and tear-resistant reinforcements provide additional durability where it matters most.
Engineered for year-round performance, the integrated Drystar® membrane ensures 100% waterproofing while maintaining high levels of breathability. A removable thermal liner allows the pants to adapt seamlessly to varying weather conditions, while the Dynamic Flow Control (DFC) zippered thigh vents provide personalized airflow for warmer climates. For riders looking for a complete kit, a full circumference waist zipper allows for easy integration with Alpinestars touring jackets.
Safety is paramount with removable Alpinestars Nucleon Flex Plus knee protectors, which are housed within internal mesh pockets. These pockets allow the armor to be adjusted according to the rider’s leg length for a custom fit. The pants also include hip compartments compatible with Alpinestars Bio-Flex hip protectors for enhanced safety in key impact areas.
Designed for long-distance comfort, the Raider v2 features pre-curved legs and an articulated knee construction to reduce rider fatigue. Accordion stretch panels on the knees provide enhanced freedom of movement, while the elongated rear ensures greater coverage in the riding position. For a precision fit, these pants include hook-and-loop waist and leg adjustments, along with extended zippered boot gussets featuring double adjusters to ensure a tight seal around the ankles.
Practical features include premium YKK® zippers throughout the garment, secure hand pockets for valuables, and integrated high-visibility reflective details to increase rider visibility in low-light conditions.
