Alpinestars Copper v3 Denim Pants

The straight-leg riding jean, third time round

The Copper v3 Denim Pants are the latest version of Alpinestars' most popular riding jean: a regular comfort fit with a straight leg in a stretch cotton denim, with aramid fibre reinforcement at the knees and hips for abrasion, cut and tear resistance. Level 1 Nucleon Flex Plus knee armour comes fitted in three-position pockets, and there are pockets for hip armour, sold separately. The garment is CE certified to A class. It's the urban commuting pick if you want a heritage denim look: selvedge-style inseam, tonal branding, refined stitching.

Sizing and fit

Waist sizes 28 to 40 in two colourways: Denim/Black and Denim/Blue. The knees are pre-curved and the back waist is reshaped so the jeans stay put in the riding position, and the pre-shaped leg gets more comfortable with every ride. Pockets are the usual two front and two back, plus a small extra pocket on the right leg, and there's reflective detailing.

Goes with

The Copper Gloves share the name and the casual style. Up top, a Chrome v2 Sport Hoodie, and on your feet the CR-X Drystar Riding Shoes. If you want a looser fit, the Cult-8 Stretch Denim Pants are the relaxed-cut alternative.

The Copper V3 Denim Pant is the most recent evolution of Alpinestars’ most popular riding pant.

Keeping the universal regular comfort fit with a straight leg, but re-edited with elevated finishing details and trims, the new Copper V3 comes constructed with a stretch cotton denim with aramid fibre reinforcements in the knee and hip areas. The knee area remains pre-curved, but the back waist is reshaped to provide even better riding comfort. The Copper V3 Denim Pant is an excellent urban commuting jean that fuses class-leading protection for the knee and hips and offers uniquely stylish, customised design detailing. With its pre-shaped leg construction and quality denim fabric the Copper V3 Denim gets more comfortable and personalised with every ride.

Internally, the Copper V3 has Level 1 Nucleon Flex Plus knee armour, pockets for separately purchased hip armor and a nicely stitched leg inseam for a selvedge denim look, perfect for those denim aficionados who want a higher quality denim and a heritage look. The Copper V3’s also features the 3-position adjustable knee armour pockets for a perfectly tailored rider fit.
