Verified Customer Reviews for RST Alpha 5 CE Textile Trousers
Our customers say…
These trousers provide a comfortable fit, accurate sizing, and reliable waterproofing, making them ideal for colder weather. Customers appreciate the generous pockets and long length, though many note the non-removable insulated lining can make them quite hot in summer. Knee protectors can be uncomfortable, as they tend to shift and dig into the kneecap. Despite these minor issues, customers find the trousers to be good value for money, especially during inclement weather.

Great fit and nice and warm
13 November 2024 by Dave H
The RST Alpha 5 trousers have quickly become my go-to choice for both short and long rides.
They are incredibly comfortable. The fit is excellent, with adjustable waist straps and leg zippers that allow for a tailored fit. The textile material is both durable and flexible, providing ease of movement without compromising on protection.
They come equipped with CE-approved armor at the knees and hips. I'm quite short so the knee pads felt uncomfortable at first but after adjusting them, they sat better. The material feels robust and seems capable of handling various weather conditions and road surfaces.
The trousers are very warm and have multiple pockets.
Overall, the're a great trouser. They offer a great combination of protection, comfort, and style at a reasonable price. I highly recommend them to anyone looking for reliable and stylish trousers.

Commuter kit
23 September 2024 by Anonymous
Great trousers, used for about one month so far on a daily commute of 45 miles each way. They have not leaked and are very warm at the this time of year. They fit over jeans. I bought usual fit which are ok. The quilted liner is fitted so they can get very warm. So far so good for the price.

Leaked !
14 June 2024 by D H
Nice material, but failed in the waterproof department the first time I used them, left me soaked within half an hour.
Also knee pads were in the wrong place and weren't adjustable as per manufacturers claims. As per their usual good service Sportsbikeshop refunded.

Good commuting/light touring trousers
16 April 2024 by Adam F
Good quality well made and kept me dry in a torrential downpour. Very warm too. I've removed the armour though to improve comfort when on the bike as they were digging into my knees a bit

Comfy trousers
28 February 2024 by Peter L
Boutht these a size larger than normal so I could wear them over jeans for commuting to work. They are comfy for the 2 hr commute, and stayed dry during light showers. I havent been caught in a downpour yet, but if they are as good as my previous RST trousers, I wont be disappointed zips and fasteners all work well with gloves on.

Great Quality

Great quality product, I was pleased with how well the item fitted. Perfect with the Alpha Jacket as they zip together easily and comfortably.

Quality trousers
11 January 2024 by Graeme S
Good quality trousers, have only tried them on at home, as bike is off rd just now. They are a bit long but 34 short wasn't available and I think they'll be ok while riding. If they are as good as my rst jacket in the rain I'll be happy. Like the fact they zip together and all the way round.

Great First Trousers
08 December 2023 by David F
Well made, warm - I wanted something with a good rating for my first trousers, this fit the bill perfectly. I chose them as they matched the jacket I bought, zip together well. I imagine they'll be pretty hot in the summer though!

Great buy

I brought these based on the reviews, great price. The sizing is true to size so no need to go up a size when ordering. They work great in the recent poor weather. Good quality usual great service from SBS

Great price - good trousers

This is my first dip into the wet weather gear market and they do not disappoint. Easy to get over a regular pear of jeans in colder weather and light enough to wear by themselves on warmer unsettled days. Love and trust RST gear

Not bad for the price
16 August 2023 by Cameron B
Bought them for using in the rain and they are really good waterproof wise but as they dont have a removable liner they do get hot and sweaty. Knee protection in them isnt the comfiest as it moves around and can dig in so could probably do with upgrading. Really good fit though. Overall decent for the price and will be good in the cold winter.

Good budget trousers
15 August 2023 by Wil M
Sizing was consistent with rst and the adjustable position for the knee pads is a good feature at this price point. As a new rider it's good to get a functional pair of well made trousers for a budget price

Great Product but not for summer
14 July 2023 by John H
Great product and very comfortable but incredibly hot in the summer due to the lining. Be perfect in the cool weather though. Bought these on a visit to the Sportsbikeshop store in Boston. Usual great service. They are second to none

Great trousers but not for summer
07 July 2023 by Steve
The good:
Great fit, accurate sizing, long leg is really long, boot zips work really well without the waterproof inner getting caught up, generous bottoms to allow for boots with velcro fastening over zip, good range of waist adjustment makes for all day comfort, good sized bellows pockets on front of both legs are very useful.
The bad:
The waterproof inner lining can't be removed so they are inevitably hot in summer.
The hip pockets lack safety protectors.
There is little adjustment on the knee protector pockets which, for me, meant that the stiffish plastic protectors provided align in such a way as to cause the top edge of the protector to bite into my kneecap which became excruciating after an hour or so. Despite trying several times I was unable to get a comfy fit and discarded the protectors in favour of longer ones which then curved nicely over my knee.
Overall:
Good quality trousers which may need a bit of armour tweaking.
