Alpinestars Ardent 3In1

Regarding adventure touring gear, the Ardent 3In1 Adventure Touring Jacket and Pants set stands out as a versatile and rugged option designed with the serious adventure rider in mind. This set is a carefully engineered system designed to handle the wide range of conditions that adventure touring often presents. Here’s why the Ardent 3In1 Jacket and Pants might just be your next essential gear.

Design and Fit

The Ardent 3In1 Jacket and Pants are specifically tailored to meet the needs of US riders, offering a relaxed and fully adjustable fit. This attention to detail is evident in the multiple volume adjusters on the arms, sides, and lower hem of the jacket and the waist and leg adjusters on the pants, allowing for a customized fit that caters to different body types and riding positions. The jacket’s asymmetric front and back lengths are a thoughtful design touch, ensuring it sits perfectly while you’re seated on the bike, preventing bunching or discomfort. The pants also feature a unique waist belt with a magnetic buckle, providing an easy and personalized fit.

Built to endure the rigors of adventure touring, both the Ardent Jacket and Pants combine durability with comfort. The outer shell of both items is constructed from a blend of 300D ripstop poly-fabric, 1200D poly in high-wear areas, and heavy-duty dobby fabric, ensuring that the set is tough enough to withstand the elements and any off-road challenges. Internally, the jacket and pants are reinforced with 600D poly-fabric and equipped with Nucleon Flex Pro CE Level 2 armor at the shoulders, elbows, and knees, providing the necessary protection while maintaining flexibility and comfort.

Versatility and Weather Adaptability

The Ardent 3In1 Jacket and Pants genuinely shine in their versatility. They are designed as a four-season set, adaptable to various weather conditions. The jacket and pants feature removable thermal liners and Drystar® waterproof liners, which can be worn together or separately depending on the climate. This makes the set suitable for everything from cold, wet mornings to hot, dry afternoons. The ventilation system is another strong point, with the jacket featuring large zippered chest panels, rear exhaust vents, and unique 3D-angled arm vents, while the pants offer intake vents on the front thighs and exhaust ports on the back. This ensures that you stay cool and comfortable during warmer rides.

Protection and Safety

Safety is always a top priority for motorcycle gear, and the Ardent 3In1 Jacket and Pants don’t disappoint. Both are fully CE-certified garments, rated to CE – Category II EN 17092-3:2020 – AA Class, meeting stringent European safety standards. The jacket includes CE Level 2 Nucleon Flex Pro armor in the shoulders and elbows, while the pants feature the same armor in the knees, along with CE Level 1 Bioflex hip armor. Both items are also Tech-Air® Ready, allowing Alpinestars’ airbag system integration for even greater safety.

Additional Features

Beyond their core functions, the Ardent Jacket and Pants include several thoughtful features that enhance usability. The jacket features large waist adjuster side panels and lower hem bungee cords, while the pants include a unique waist belt with a magnetic buckle for a personalized fit. Both items offer ample storage, with the jacket providing cargo pockets and the pants featuring hand and cargo pockets, all designed for easy access to essentials. The pants are also designed to be worn inside or outside of boots, offering flexibility depending on rider preference.
