Alpinestars Banshee Women's Leggings

Comfy but hard to get up over the booty

“I bought two pairs of legging pants for riding, these arrived first. When I tried them on the first time, I was extremely worried: they stopped coming up easy when they were only a few inches above the knees, and I had to fight to get these things up over my butt. Not gunna lie, I heard a few seams pop as I forced them up, but once they were there, they fit perfectly. They didn’t cut into my stomach or waist at all, and they make my butt look great. I thought I may need to return them for the next size up, but after walking around the house a bit, and doing some stretches to break them in, the”

The holy grail!

“Lets face it, sometimes we need to balance performance with aesthetics (ie. the ability to get off the bike and blend into society or in my case a board meeting). As someone with an athletic build (5"9, 14/32) finding a pair of riding pants that accomplishes that goal has been impossible. While I was initially hesitant due to the price tag I am so happy I took a chance on these. The Feel: The Alpinestar Banshee leggings are actually made of a 'pointe' like material that reminds me of a more robust pair of my favorite Banana Republic pants. These were cooling enough to handle a 70+ deg day and”

Wife's curves are protected

“I purchased these as a gift for my wife and they fit great, can not yet comment on them as she hasn't worn them on her monster...but shes a big hip beauty with a thin waist and good riding gear for curvy women are hard to find....”

Doesn't get much better than this!

“After trying on countless riding jeans I finally ordered these - with high hopes and low expectations. Best decision ever! I live in AZ where leather pants are a no-go 9 months out of the year, so I was looking for a riding pant that was comfortable, offered decent protection and could blend in off the bike - these hit all marks. Pros: These keep me comfortable on a 90 degree day and warm enough when temperatures dip to the low 50s. I wouldn't push them past either though. The quality is on par from what I'd expect from Alpine stars - nice seams, actual pockets (big plus), robust material a”

Nice pants , not traditional legging thin

“My gf got these and she likes them. For reference, shes 5’5 135lbs, normally size 4-6, and she got a Large in these leggings. Other reviewers said size up, Definitely size up. The length seem a little on the shorter side so dont expect Long pants, but with the boots she has it worked pretty good. These keep her warm in 60degree weather, and not too hot in upper 80 temps.”

Cute style

“I just got and these are very thick layered leggings with knee protector inserts included. The material is softer than I would expect from protective gear but that's probably why they are layered so thick. They're a little tough to pull on because the waistband doesn't stretch a lot. I would say they run a little small and I wasn't sure I could pull over my calves. I'm short and was glad they weren't too long. The style is nice and flattering once they are on.”

Comfortable Leggings

“These leggings run small. I typically wear a women 0-4 depending on the brand. For reference, I wear a size four in American Eagle jeans and I could not get the small over my thighs. Measure yourself prior to purchasing and buy the size that your largest measurement fits into. If I would have done that, I would have purchase a medium from the start. Mediums were long for me even though I’m 5 feet 6. Overall, great leggings and comfortable to wear at breakfast after I ride.”

Best Riding Leggings Ever!

“I originally went one size up just to be safe and purchased an XL Tall and they were too tight. I exchanged for a 2XL Tall and they?re perfect! I added the hip protectors and they look like a little bulky in the front but I don?t care about that. These are comfortable and have awesome front and back pockets. Not mention my butt looks awesome in them. Total plus! ;) I am so stoked about these riding leggings, I probably would have been fine in a 2XL short or regular, but when I sit or get in the riding position the Tall provides the best coverage. I have long legs and a shorter torso. So happy!”

Hooray! They fit!

“Me: 5’9” 150, 33” inseam, no butt at all Extra large fits perfectly. Usually the fit problem is legs are too short & knee pads either fall at the shins or thighs. Note: The knee protection is not adjustable so they will either fit or not. Walking around the knees seem a bit too low but in riding position they are perfect. Leg length is great with my TCX hero boots & the cuffs (Over the boots) stay in place when seated. If you wear high boots you will need to put pants inside boots and that could be overly bulky bc the cuff is narrow but not tapered. These pants are truly comfortable and they”

Great!

“These leggings are warm, because they are more like sweat pant material, they have abrasion protection throughout the whole legging, and although they come with knee protection, the accordion knee is extra protection. They fit really tight though. So size up 1 size. I Normally wear a medium and got a large.”

Best riding jeggings so far.

“I'm 5'7" and 126lbs 27" waist and a size medium fit perfect. These are extremely comfortable, the knee armor is comfortable and not very invasive. The only thing I don't like are the unsightly belt loops, I may remove them once I've determined they're not useful to me”

Love these! Wonderfully surprised!

“Been riding since I was 19 and this is the first time I finally sprung for some actual riding pants - I've worn chaps in the past, mainly for wind protection on colder days. I ride a cruiser. These are fabulous - why did I wait so long to invest!?! Style is super cute - even on my cruiser, it doesn't look out of place, and great fit. Snug as the other reviews say, but very figure flattering with great tummy support and booty lift lol. I'm 5'7" about 155# curvy 36x30x41, I ordered a large - perfect. Gotta wiggle into them a bit at first, but didn't pop any seams (though I was close lol) - howe”
