Product Details
The Alpinestars Raider V2 Drystar waterproof motorcycle trousers in Black are tailored textile touring trousers for riders who want adaptable weather protection without changing their main riding kit. A fixed Drystar® membrane combines waterproof performance with breathability, while the detachable thermal liner can be removed when temperatures rise.
Why choose the Raider V2 Drystar trousers?
- All-weather touring design: a fixed Drystar® waterproof membrane with an Alpinestars-listed 5,000 mm rating helps protect against wet conditions while allowing moisture vapour to escape.
- Adaptable warmth: the removable thermal liner adds insulation for colder rides and can be detached in milder weather.
- Protective construction: integrated internal protection is positioned within the chassis to cover key impact zones.
- Comfort-focused fit: the multi-panel textile chassis is shaped for a tailored riding fit.
- Jacket integration: Alpinestars states that the trousers are compatible with its touring jackets, helping create a coordinated road-touring suit.
