My video review of the Alpinestars SP Air glove review for webBikeWorld.
Tag: alpinestars
I recently had the opportunity to review a pair of riding jeans, two actually, from Alpinestars. The Copper Out, their sibling, the Copper Riding pants are aramid reinforced denim jeans designed for the urban / commuter motorcyclist. I ended up receiving both pairs so my review notes the subtle differences between the two.
Looking very similar to a pair of regular “blue jeans” the Copper Out jeans only have a zipper above the knee to outwardly tip one off that there is something different here. This knee zipper is where armor can be installed to provide impact protection to augment the aramid abrasion resistance in the knee area.
The Copper jeans eschew the external zipper and instead use an internal pocket for holding the same armor in place. Both jeans offer similar protection overall and include hook and loop fastener material near the hip for attaching armor (not included).
This brace of riding jeans are very well made and the fit is very true to the labeled size in the units I received. If you are looking for some riding jeans that are comfortable and should last a long time, have a look at my complete review over at WebBikeWorld.com.
