ALPHA MOTORCYCLE PANTS

Got the pants as a gift, as I adore the jacket. My feelings towards the gloves lean heavily towards dissapointed though. As for the pants, I dont think I have anything new to report. The pants do flare a lot at the bottom, which fits over my Forma Adv boots nicely. They do not fit inside without a lot of bunching however. My only other real complaint is the fit, much like my main issue with the gloves. They advertise an XS as a 30ish" waist and a 32ish" inseam. I am a 30x30 in every pant. These run tight around the waist and are exceptionally long. Length is ok for riding, but if they didnt sit on my boots, I'd drag holes at the heels in a week just walking from the garage to my apartment. The tight waist is ok too, save the press stud that will come undone, or the way it rides them up. The riding up is especially bad as there is no extra crotch space at all. All that said though, they are water proof. Tested that out today in an hour of light rain. My only other minor gripe is the jean like pockets. For adv style pants, I think pockets on the top of the leg don't really make sense for riding, especially if they dont zip and are very tight while riding. Overall, these aren't bad. They are a tad pricey to have what I believe are design flaws, but are excellently made (as all Akin Moto gear seems to be) and preform what they advertise them to do. They will be my go to winter pants for sure

Great service from the team. I’m a loose size 38 with nearly every other brand , but tight 2XL with these. They feel great , the bottom is over the top baggy and don’t look great tucked in or over boots. 70s flared look. I reach for other pants over these sadly , maybe one day they’ll grow on me for now , they’ll sit idle unfortunately. Sorry team.

Bought these with the Alpha jacket, love the jacket, pants are solid, and they make a great pair. These share a lot of the pros of the Alpha jacket, but have a couple improvements that (for me personally) could bring them to the same level with the jacket.
Fit is decent, but personally I'd like to see a lower crotch/taller waist as the legs felt marginally long, and waist a little short. Cuffs are nice in that they go over tall off-road boots, and despite feeling bulky, fit surprisingly well inside boots too, but if you wear these with short boots the cuffs feel a bit unwieldy. Would love to see them slimmed down with maybe an expandable thinner section inside the zip to let them unzip to fit over a bigger boot. (Granted these are made to wear with ADV/dirt boots so it's not a huge issue) but would make them more flexible for when you just wanted to zip around town in colder wetter weather.
Additionally like some of the other reviewers have said, the snap at the waist tends to come undone without a belt (again not a huge issue if you wear a belt) but maybe throw a velcro strap there as well so you can use the velcro adjusters on the side instead of needing a belt.
That aside, these are great pants, and used as intended, in tall boots I have no issues using these and they will definitely get the job done well!

I bought these together with the Alpha jacket, which I reviewed separately. Most of what I wrote there apply to the pants as well. They work well, are quite warm and have protected me against all kinds of weather I have encountered. With the thermal liner in, it has to be really cold for me to feel a need to put on long johns. Like the jacket, I cannot see me using these in the heat of summer, but that’s OK, I have other things to wear then.

However, I am not *quite* as impressed with these as with the jacket. First, I wish they were a little bit more narrow in the lower legs, or alternatively, that I could tighten them a bit more at the bottom. They feel nicely tailored at the waist and thighs, but there is a lot of fabric at the bottom. I suppose the extra fabric is there to allow them to go over larger boots, but it feels a bit excessive to me. It makes them bulkier than I would like, and the legs tend to rub against each other when I walk, and so takes some points off an otherwise very stylish design.

The other thing I have noticed is that the press button at the waist has a tendency to pop open now and then. I read another reviewer mentioning this too, so I think this is something to look into in coming iterations. I have solved this by wearing a belt, which takes some pressure off the button. But it is a bit of a bummer, since the velcro tightening straps at the waist would otherwise have made a belt redundant.

Still, these are minor quibbles, and I am happy I bought the pants. My quibbles aside, they are well made, comfortable, with nice attention to detail. And they have decent pockets! I love how I am able to put them on and not worry about the weather forecast. I have often found myself looking at the skies wondering if I should stop and put on my rain pants, decided to hold off a little more, and then been struck by a sudden wall of rain. With these, I can just cruise on.

Wore these in a massive storm and the only water to get through was from my shirt wicking it past the pants, these were super impressive and dont look like your average out there water proof pants, they look great, were very comfortable and just felt like a great everyday/adventure capable pant. I will definitely be replacing my adventure pants now on.
