Default pants fitment


I got a pair of the A* track pants yesterday, took them home, and I am not sure how they are supposed to fit. They look too big (to me) - they don't fall off when I stand up, but they are baggy all thru the thighs. When I sit on the bike, they are still baggy, but not as much. The armor seems to fit well around the knee, it dosent move about too much at all when on the bike. I was told at the store that when I connect it to my jacket and get on the bike, it should be a little tight right behind the knees, and I should feel a little tug in the rear when I get in full lean - I don't really feel either.

What size did you get? My A*s are a little tight on my legs, but, my legs are about twice as thick as yours. Is the waist fitment ok?

I got equivelent to us 32. It is decent on the waist - not tight, I have enough room to stick some fingers down there - but if I jump around they dont fall off. I am thinking I should go back and get either the 28 or 30. Did you notice yours "loosen-up" any after a couple times wearing them?

Well, keep some space in there if you are going to get a back protector. Also, the *** will definately be baggy when standing, it's looser so you can lean forward and not have it get super tight. It hasn't really loosened up at all.

If you take a look at the pictures of you that Paul posted up - look at where you are at paddock and sitting on the bike. See how you can read most of the alpinestars written down the side? When I sit on the bike, that area is still fairly bunched up and not as smooth as yours. Thats the area that I am concerned about.

Well, mine are a little short, but I like the fitment. That said, maybe you should try a smaller size. Check the A*s fitment guide to see make sure the other sizes have a smaller inseam before ordering though.
