Alpinestars Ardent 3in1 Pants
Built with the modular design philosophy to allow the bigger rider to conquer any climate and any terrain, the Ardent 3in1 Pants feature the same material construction as the Ardent 3in1 Jacket including 300D ripstop polyfabric, extra durable textured 1000D poly, and heavy duty dobbie. There is also stretch polyamide material above the knee, behind the knee, in the crotch, and in the back yoke for excellent levels of comfort and mobility.
Internally, the Ardent 3in1 pants have Nucleon Flex Pro CE Level 2 rated knee protectors, as well as removable Drystar® waterproof and thermal liners which can be worn together, or independently. The pant thighs feature intake vents on the front and exhaust ports on the back, plus convenient hand and cargo pockets for useful storage and carrying of smaller items. And finally, like the matching jacket, the Ardent 3in1 pants will also offer a wide range of adjustability to better accommodate the bigger American fit including a unique waist belt with a magnetic buckle allowing the rider to personalize the jacket’s fit for optimal comfort. The Ardent 3in1 Pants are a CE AA rated garment.

Sizing Information
We measured and tried on a selection of these pants and the main conclusion was that the pants run a bit small in the waist as compared to Alpinestars’ published sizing chart. The inseams are much longer than represented in their chart.
To help in choosing a size, we’ve developed a chart that shows each pant size and Alpinestars’ published size estimate of the waist alongside our own estimate of size. We’d advise you to choose a pant size based on OUR sizing estimates.
As you can see in the chart, the pants are available in one inseam length, and it is longer than expected. The pants also do NOT have adjustability of the armor height at the knee and the knee armor will be lower than a normal pant due to the long inseam lengths.
Also, the pants have a built in belt to adjust the fit slightly. We indicate a 2” range in our chart which was about the amount we judged the adjustment range to be.
| Pant Size | Alpinestars Estimate | Our Estimate | Inseam Reg |
|---|---|---|---|
| Small | 30-32 | 29-31 | 34 |
| Medium | 32-34 | 30-32 | 36 |
| Large | 34-37 | 32-34 | 36 |
| XL | 38-40 | 35-38 | 37 |
| XXL | 40-42 | 38-40 | 37 |
| XXXL | 44-46 | 40-42 | 37 |

Our Two Cents
The Ardent 3 In 1 Adventure Touring pants from Alpinestars are a pair of touring pants that were designed to pair up with Alpinestar’s Ardent 3 in 1 jacket. With a main chassis that is primarily made of ripstop with multi-reinforcement areas, a thermal liner, a Drystar® waterproof layer as well as CE Level 2 Nucleon Flex Pro knee armor as well as Ce Level 1 bioflex hip armor, the Ardent pants were able to achieve a CE Level AA rating.
Additional features include the ability to wear the Drystar® layer either under or over, the long connection zipper that is a perfect match for the Ardent jacket, zippered hand pockets as well as zippered cargo pockets, zippered air vents on the front of the legs and exhaust ones on the back, as well as multiple fit adjustment points such as the waits, cuffs and back of knees. The main waist adjusts in multiple ways and you almost get a triple closure since you have a zipper, top button, as well as a magnetic clip adjuster all working together.
Overall at $329.95 you are getting a good amount of pants for your money with some really strong materials, good fit and good overall features and construction. It also helps that the pants as well as the jacket have minimal branding, and where they do have it its done in a clean and not over the top kind of way. Lots of comfort, adjustability, protection and versatility to be had in these pants. Definitely worth checking out. :: Damir 8/2/24
