ALPINESTARS Daisy V2 Denim Rinse Plus Blue

The “Style” specification indicates the model and overall appearance of the motorcycle jeans. It influences the look, the pockets and the overall comfort.

• 5-pocket: the classic jeans model with five standard pockets (two at the front, two at the back and a coin pocket). Timeless, casual and versatile, making it the style that most closely resembles regular jeans.
• Cargo: trousers with additional pockets on the upper leg. Ideal for riders who want extra storage space while riding. The cargo style gives a tougher, more utilitarian appearance.
• Chino: a smarter, more dressed-up style with a cleaner and more minimalist appearance than classic jeans. Ideal for combining a neat look with motorcycle protection.
• Legging: a very close-fitting women’s motorcycle pant with plenty of stretch, designed to fit tightly around the legs while offering maximum freedom of movement. This style has a slim, modern look and fits closely to the body without compromising protection.

The “Type” specification indicates the kind of motorcycle jeans, affecting fit, flexibility, and style.

• Jeans: the classic jeans model as we all know it. Sturdier material for a traditional look and good durability.
• Legging: a pant made from fine knitted fabric that fits closely to the legs. Provides maximum freedom of movement and a snug fit.

The “Gender” specification indicates which gender the motorcycle jeans are designed for. This affects the fit and comfort of the jeans.

• Men: men's motorcycle jeans are designed for men and provide a comfortable fit for daily use or longer rides.
• Women: women's models are tailored for women, combining comfort and ease of wear.
• Child: children's jeans are suitable for young passengers, offering comfort and protection while riding with an adult.

The “Waterproofing” specification indicates whether the motorcycle jeans provide protection against rain.

• Waterproof: the motorcycle jeans are equipped with a waterproof membrane that provides protection against rain while riding.
• Not waterproof: the motorcycle jeans do not contain a waterproof membrane and therefore offer no protection against rain. For wet conditions, separate rain pants can be an ideal solution.

The “Fitting” specification indicates how the motorcycle jeans are cut and how they fit the body. This affects both comfort and appearance.

• Skinny fit: the narrowest fit, hugging hips, thighs, and calves down to the ankles. This jeans shows your body shape clearly.
• Slim fit: emphasizes the legs without feeling tight. Based on the best of a regular fit, but more tailored from hips to ankles.
• Tapered fit: provides comfort and room from waist to upper thighs, with legs tapering from knees to ankles.
• Regular fit: classic, relaxed fit from waist to ankles, with straight-cut legs.
• Loose fit: maximum freedom of movement and comfort, without feeling like wearing a ‘denim tent’.
• Kingsize fit: roomy male fit for larger sizes, with properly fitting waist and leg length, and enough space where needed.
• Boyfriend fit: designed for female riders who want a more relaxed fit around hips and thighs, while keeping a defined leg silhouette.
• Queensize fit: roomy female fit for larger sizes, with waist and leg length properly fitting, and enough space where needed, even if the body does not match standard sizes.

The “Waist” specification indicates how high the waist of the motorcycle jeans sits. This directly affects comfort and fit while riding. Motorcycle jeans never use an extremely high fashion waist, as this would be uncomfortable on the bike. However, a higher waist provides better lower-back coverage and improved protection against wind and weather, while a lower waist offers a more casual fit.

The “Knee Protectors” specification indicates which protectors are included in the motorcycle jeans. Because there are many different brands, we only list the protection levels here, which represent the main differences in safety and comfort. Knee protectors contribute to the overall safety of the jeans and protect the knees in case of a fall or impact.

• Level 1: thin and flexible protectors that are comfortable to wear and provide basic impact protection. This is the most commonly used choice in motorcycle jeans.
• Level 2: thicker and stiffer protectors that provide extra cushioning and a higher level of protection, but are slightly less comfortable.

The “Hip protectors” specification indicates whether hip protectors are included with the motorcycle jeans and, if so, which protectors are used. Hip protectors contribute to the overall safety of the jeans and are mandatory for AA and AAA certified models. When hip protectors are present, motorcycle jeans almost always use level 1 protectors because they are thinner and more comfortable while riding.

• Not included: the jeans do not contain hip protectors, which is often the case for A-certified models. Hip protectors can be purchased separately and added for extra protection.
• Included: the jeans come with hip protectors, the type and protection level of which may vary. This increases safety and is standard for AA and AAA certified models.

The “Wear-resistant fabric” specification indicates how the motorcycle jeans are reinforced to provide protection in the event of a fall.

• Interwoven: the wear-resistant fibers are integrated directly into the denim. The jeans consist of a single layer that feels light, flexible, and breathable. This construction closely approximates the comfort of regular jeans and is especially suitable for warmer conditions.
• Second layer: the motorcycle jeans feature an additional wear-resistant lining, usually over critical zones such as the seat, hips, and knees. This extra layer increases protection but generally makes the jeans slightly thicker and warmer than a fully interwoven construction.
• Interwoven and second layer: both techniques are combined: wear-resistant fibers in the main layer plus extra reinforcements in impact zones. This provides very high wear resistance and maximum protection.

The “Reinforced zones” specification indicates where the motorcycle jeans are reinforced with abrasion-resistant material. These reinforcements improve durability and protection in critical areas of the jeans. This specification complements the “Abrasion-resistant fabric” specification: the latter explains how the abrasion-resistant fabric is integrated into the jeans, while “Reinforced zones” indicates where this material is used on the jeans.

The removable foot loops keep the legs of the motorcycle jeans in place while riding and in the event of a fall, ensuring optimal protection for knees, shins, and hips. Thanks to the removable design, the loops can be easily detached for regular wear or washing, making the jeans both practical and comfortable.

The certification level indicates how protective a motorcycle jeans is according to the European CE standard. The higher the level, the better the abrasion and impact resistance — with an effect on comfort and price.

• AAA: this is the highest certification level, offering maximum abrasion and impact protection. AAA motorcycle jeans are often made from stiffer, sometimes double-layered fabrics, providing the best safety for high-speed or intensive riding. This extra protection usually comes with less comfort and a higher price.
• AA: this level strikes a good balance between safety and comfort. The fabrics are generally less stiff than AAA, but still offer a high level of protection. AA motorcycle jeans are suitable for daily use and longer rides, with mid-range comfort and price.
• A: motorcycle jeans with A certification focus on comfort and affordability. The materials feel almost like regular jeans, making them ideal for short trips and urban use. Compared to AA and AAA, they offer less protection, especially at higher speeds.

The “Height-adjustable knee protectors” specification indicates whether the knee protectors of the motorcycle jeans are adjustable in height or not. Adjustable protectors can be accurately positioned on the knees, providing both comfort and optimal protection in the event of a fall.

The motorcycle jeans may or may not feature stretch zones, flexible areas that provide extra freedom of movement and a comfortable fit while riding. They make it easier to maneuver on the bike without compromising protection.

The “Color” specification indicates which colors the motorcycle jeans are available in. This helps you choose a pair that matches your style and gear.

The “Outer material” specification indicates which fabric the motorcycle jeans are made of. The outer fabric is usually much more abrasion-resistant than standard jeans fabric and therefore plays an important role in safety. Additionally, the fabric can contain extra materials such as:

• Thermolite: an insulating material that retains heat without adding weight, ideal for cooler conditions.
• Coolmax: a breathable material that wicks moisture away from the skin, keeping you dry and comfortable in warm weather or during intense riding.
• Elastane: provides stretch in the fabric, allowing more freedom of movement and a better fit without reducing protection. The higher the elastane percentage, the more stretchable the fabric.
