Alpinestars Women's Stella Bat Leather Sport Pants

We tried on and measured several pairs of these pants and came up with this chart. It’s slightly different than other Alpinestars published size charts, but we find these to run on the small side. When considering the inseam, keep in mind that a style like this is designed to reach only to the top of the foot. This pant has an adjustment in the calf area to allow for larger-than-average calf sizes. It’s a zipper with a stretch panel behind, and when unzipped effectively increases the diameter in that area—clever!

Alpinestars Bat leather pants are a sport style pant designed for the street rider or sport touring rider. The overall construction is very much like race-type leathers, but the pants don’t have Velcro for knee sliders and they offer a more flexible/comfortable armor. These differences, along with the pant’s more sedate styling, are to make you more comfortable wearing the pants for street riding. The knee armor is a unique three layer rubber material which is very flexible and hardly noticeable from the outside of the pants due to its low bulk. Likewise, the pants offer built-in hip armor which is comfortable and hardly noticeable, but it feels like it would do a pretty good job in case of a fall. Take the “View Larger Pictures” link above to see some good close-up pictures. The pants have a full circumference zipper which is compatible with Alpinestars jackets (those that have the mating zipper that is). The zipper comes with the mating half, so it would be possible to adapt a non-Alpinestars jacket to zip to the pants with a trip to your local tailor who could install the mating zipper in the jacket. Clarification: This is the Bat pant introduced on ‘07 which is very similar to the previous model. The notable differences are that this model DOES have hip armor, has a calf size adjustment feature, and it has some perforated leather panels. Otherwise this new style looks very similar to the previous design.
