After reading some of the reviews on the Andes v2 Drystar pant about sizing, I was second guessing whether the Medium size would be appropriate for me. I’m 6’1”, 165 lbs with a 33” waist, 39.5” at the hips, 22.5” around the thigh and a 32” inseam. All of those measurements placed me solidly within the Medium sizing bracket, except my height, which fell in the XL category. With the wonderful option of being able to return an item that doesn’t fit, I confidently selected the Medium size and waited for my order to arrive. I shouldn’t have been worried.

Right out of the box, the quality of the materials and construction were right on par with all the great Alpinestars products I’ve interacted with in the past. With a pair of jeans on and the liner still installed, I began pulling the pants on. They felt a little snug around the hips, like I wouldn’t be able to get them on, but then I realized I hadn’t fully loosened the waist straps. Because these pants have a cover behind the fly (like a pair of boardshorts), you’re limited to the amount of movement you have compared to putting on a pair of jeans. With the waist strap loose, I had no trouble getting them on. If you’re planning to run with the suspenders, it’s most comfortable to tuck in your shirt. The high, padded back is great to keep out any unwanted breeze as well. Back to the suspenders for a moment, and the zipper around the waist, in particular; I have an Alpinestars Gunner WP jacket, sized M as well, that I purchased a few years ago and it mates up perfectly to these pants. If you run this option, you’ll need to be sure everything is tucked into the pant, however, otherwise you’ll run into issues pairing the zipper on the pant and jacket. So far, I’ve put about 200 miles of riding while wearing the Andes v2 pant, and it’s been exceptionally comfortable. The knee padding was in its lowest position when it arrived and it hit my knee a bit awkwardly, but there was plenty of adjustment to get it to a better position. Riding in Minnesota on a sportbike during the spring means some chilly mornings, and with the liner installed, I was completely comfortable riding at highway speeds at 38 degrees. There isn’t snow here year-round, however; with the liner installed, I found that I was getting overly warm when stopped at a traffic light for more than twenty seconds or so if there was direct sunlight and the temp was above 72 degrees. Your own level of comfort with heat will determine at what point the liner needs to be removed, which is as quick as unzipping the liner at the waist and undoing two snaps per leg down above the ankle. I haven’t had the opportunity to wear these in the rain yet, but if my experience with the Gunner WP jacket has proven anything, a ride through driving rain should be a non-issue. If you’re in the market for a pant that can handle the elements, while offering protection, style and comfort at a great price, I really don’t know if you can make a better choice.

Only ridden one day, are at least one size smaller than normal as I'm normally large, I had to get XL, & these are snug. With liner they are tight. With thin jogging pants under they are pretty warm, snug. Overall design is bulky but protective. Vent design is great but could use a second vent on sides for air flow. Lower leg Velcro is great design. Appear to get hot above 85 degrees although we will see.Large pockets in front are good. A couple of tweaks & these would be great, overall very good.

These pants are typical touring wear, heavy, well made, a bit bulky, but flexible. I found them sized out too small, I normally take a Large & I had to go for a 2XL. On the plus side Alpinestars do offer them in Long, unlike a lot of others.These are quality pants, minus the warmth liner they're easy to wear, but be aware that there's no split at the ankle to unzip & get over your boots. Also there's no fly, just a pleated section to make getting them on & off easier.I found the attachment of the braces fiddly, one pair I tried had a attachment loop that was very difficult to get the buckle to go in. This was a surprise as normally Alpinestars quality control is excellent.There's plenty of ventilation through panels that open up & let air in right the way ... MoreThese pants are typical touring wear, heavy, well made, a bit bulky, but flexible.

Other pants the air flow has to get through the rainproof membrane ( Goretex like material). I prefer this method.On the whole they are very well made & well worth the money.
I bought these pants almost 1.5 years ago now and I've really liked them. First ever pair after getting my first bike.5' 10" @ 165-170lbs - I usually wear pants/jeans with a 32" leg length.Similar to other reviews I had to go a size up on these. I bought the matching Andes jacket in size L and the pants in XL. Velcro straps around the waist and calves allowed me to snug it up for a good fit.Came with a removable "thermal" liner that I ended up keeping off even during the colder months in Vancouver and surrounding areas. To its credit, the pants did keep my legs dry during a ride full of heavy rain. The two zipper vents on the thighs are all you get for breathability, but I have rarely found myself desperate to get out of them due to heat.

The two zipper vents on the thighs are all you get for breathability, but I have rarely found myself desperate to get out of them due to heat. As a moto-gear newbie, I think the protection could be better. Planning on getting the hip protection add-ins. The knee protection seems questionable, but the pads appear to be removable. There's a small zipper at the bottom of the pant leg that allows you to fish your hand up behind the mesh liner. So there may be opportunity to upgrade the inserts.I've only had one "fall" in them where I dumped the bike doing a U-turn out on the FSR's. Obviously, speed was zero, but the pants saved me from what would've have been a possible scraped/scratched up knee and calf. Will probably continue to ride in these until something wears out or breaks on them.
I am only going to comment on the sizing of these pants, as that is all I can say. I am 5' 7" and a size 10 here in America. I am curvy, pants are always hard to find. I got these because I saw some reviews that they fit girls that are shorter than me and weight more, so I figured they might fit a curvy girl. I purchased the 2XL because the measurements matched my own. I couldn't get them past my knees. They don't even offer a bigger size than 2XL. They seem like good quality, warm, and are made sturdy. Too bad they are only for smaller people.
Review: Andes V3My specs:5’8, 175, medium athletic build, no gut. Usual Jean size 33/32, motorcycle pants 34/34.Andes V3 size: LFitment: I found the waist a little loose for my 32/33-ish waist, which is what I needed so I can fit my Dainese hard armor shorts beneath. Leg bottom length is perfect for my semi-upright stance on the MT-03. I paired the pants with my Boots——SMX 6 V2, which have huge armor bits around the shin, and the pant ends were able to fit around these with a little bit more room to spare. I can even adjust the bottoms to accommodate in-boot wearing as an option. Not once do I feel stifled wearing these, and I have plenty of dexterity to boot. I did not nor do I plan on zipping the Andes to a jacket at this point.Warmth and flow: Blocks wind ... MoreReview: Andes V3My specs:5’8, 175, medium athletic build, no gut.

I did not nor do I plan on zipping the Andes to a jacket at this point.Warmth and flow: Blocks wind and cold as advertised. So warm and VERY comfortable at up to triple digit speeds in low 40’s to high 50’s. Gets too warm above that but you can remove the thermal liner. Even at lower temps I just leave the liner in and wear a Dainese summer cool base layer (this stuff is genius!). Air flow through the thigh vents is mild to moderate only so if you are a sweat hog it may be an issue.Utility: the cargo pockets are deep and feel super secure with the Velcro. I have full confidence of storing my valuables in these pockets. The knee armor stays in place and is unobtrusive, so that you can ride and barely even feel anything. I see no need to upgrade or swap out the thin and porous knee and hip armor.Quality and finish: the light grey/red combo color looks very attractive and gives more visibility during overcame and lowlight riding. All the zippers, buttons and details of the material are solid, with no issues with seams or threads or discoloration, so that most will be amazed these are not at least another $90 or so more expensive, considering all the benefits. In my opinion the overall appearance of the Andes V3 is sporty enough to distinguish from the pure adventure look. The color design and not having “parachute legs” be baggy are big reasons for that.Conclusion:Solid investment, looks great, the comfort will spoil you, armor is sufficient and included. If I had to choose ONE thing I’d like is to have belt loops, but that’s it. Extremely satisfied, surprisingly impressed.Watch the sizing and decide if you need more airflow.
I took a chance and ordered my actual size Small. The Medium would've fit a little more comfortable, but I didn't want to go longer in the inseam where the knee armor would be at my shin. The small fits perfect except on the waistline. I unhook it when I ride but still fully zipped up and I am fine, and it does have suspenders. When I am standing up, I can fasten the hook and button but it's at its tightest point. I sacrificed my waist for a perfect fitting pants. I am 5'7 150lbs. 29.5 inseam. Overall the pants are excellent. They can be worn for all four seasons. The removable liner is warm. I've never had these newer knee armor and I thought I didn't get them but they are of the soft flexible kind.
Love these pants! I wanted pants and a jacket that meet EU safety guidelines, and even though these pants are only rated prEN17092 Class A, I do feel like they'll help protect my legs in a skid. They're VERY comfortable. The inside is smooth, and the outside has several places where you can adjust the fit, with velcro at the waist, knees, and ankles. There's also an optional air vent on each thigh. These come with suspenders but also zip to any Alpinestars jacket. I wear these with the Alpinestars Stella T-GP Plus R v3 Air Jacket for summer.I bought the gray set because I didn't want to be soaking up a lot of sun in the summer, and so that I can be a little more visible on my black bike. I also added the hip protectors, sold separately.
I've had these pants for about 18 months. They're my favorite in my regular rotation by far (also have 2 pairs of Sedici Marco pants and a pair of Venture R ITB pants). I've got about two thousand miles in them, some touring on road, some rambling around town on days off, a good chunk of off road from hard packed dirt trails to some "trails" I wish I hadn't bothered with. They're excellent.They're good for Autumn, Winter, and Fall riding, but I wouldn't wear them above 80F for cruising around and I wouldn't wear them above 60F for anything taxing off-tarmac. Build quality has been outstanding, comfort is awesome. The vents work as well as single-entry vents with no exhaust can. If I've got a gripe about them, it's the boot entry setup. Love my Sedici Marcos ... MoreI've had these pants for about 18 months. They're my favorite in my regular rotation by far (also have 2 pairs of Sedici Marco pants and a pair of Venture R ITB pants).

Love my Sedici Marcos because you can unzip them and get your boots on quickly (Astars Toucans in my case) and then zip them up and roll. These take a bit more fight, especially if you're rocking the liner. I've found that disconnecting the liner from the pant cuff at the bottom makes it a bit easier, but it's still a hassle, especially in the morning at a campsite.Protection-wise, I could not be happier. I've dropped the bike at least a dozen times in them off road and have never had an issue, and had one low-speed, on-road tumble at about 20mph in the rain and didn't feel any worse for wear even though I came down on my right knee.I've been using Drystar products since the Andes 1 back in like, 2014 and have always been happy with them as far as waterproofing goes. For getting caught in the rain, they do the job beautifully. The aforementioned lack of a zip closure also does have the positive effect of making water crossings/big puddles/missteps in parking lots a non-issue. I've tucked them in to the boots a few times when I was really worried about crossing moving water, and while they aren't really designed for ITB use they do it as well as any non-ITB pant can. I'd buy more, but I think the Halo pants look like they solve my only really issue with these pants which is the lack of ventilation, though those are more expensive and don't have the pedigree that the Andes line carries. Definitely worth the money. e
