The Hyde XT Stretch Drystar®XF Pants are engineered for the adventure touring category's heavy off-road and/or dual sport side. Featuring a waterproof and extremely lightweight four-way stretch, seam-taped, monolayer outer shell main construction, the Hyde XT Drystar®XF Pants are reinforced with ripstop nylon on the seat and the primary exposed areas for high levels of durability. As its name would suggest, the Hyde XT has a laminated Drystar®XF (XF for extra flow) waterproof and highly breathable membrane for excellent wet weather performance, making it the perfect lightweight, all-weather pant for rugged adventure riding.
Features:
- Over the boot, Enduro pants with integrated Nucleon Flex Plus, adjustable knee armor.
- The laminated, breathable, and waterproof Drystar®XF membrane makes the pants super compact and keeps them very lightweight when riding in wet weather. The Drystar®XF membrane prevents the pants from getting waterlogged and heavy and prevents windchill, all while simultaneously allowing the fabric to breathe.
- Drystar XF®, which stands for Extra Flow, takes the Alpinestars innovative Drystar® membrane to the next level and delivers 50% more breathability performance in dry conditions compared to a standard Drystar® membrane
- Drystar XF® is also 3x more waterproof, achieving a water column test limit of >15,000 mm, and in some circumstances, with certain constructions, it achieved 20,000 mm. Waterproofing of that level will keep riders dry in heavy downpours and generally tough conditions.
- Diagonal zippered ventilation ports on the thighs provide cooling ventilation and breathability, while the inner hook-and-loop system keeps the ports open to ensure continuous airflow.
- Strong, ripstop nylon reinforcements on the seat, knees, and exposed areas for enhanced durability and abrasion resistance.
