Alpinestars Copper v3 Jeans
The Copper V3 Riding Jeans from Alpinestars offer a regular comfort fit with a straight leg and stretch cotton denim with
aramid fiber
In woven form, aramid is an organic fiber known for excellent mechanical properties, including high tenacity, low density and low conductivity of heat. Mixed with resin and hardened, high impact resistance is yet another characteristic of this fiber. For the two-wheeled folk out there, Aramid is a friend. The fiber - as a cloth - adds abrasion-resistant to riding gear and adds rigidity when incorporated in the shell of helmets.
DuPont™ Kevlar®
Aramidic fiber with elevated resistance to tear, wear, shear and heat complemented by low electrical conductivity and high resistance to chemical corrosion. This excellent mechanical performance is matched by the lightweight and softness of the thread that guarantees comfort and a perfect fit at the same time.

Approved to 17092-4:2020 as a CE
Class A garment
A CE Level A rating, governed by the EN 17092-4:2020 standard, signifies that a garment is designed to offer a baseline level of protection for urban or casual riding at lower speeds. To achieve this classification, the materials in the most vulnerable areas of the garment, known as Zone 1 (typically shoulders, elbows, hips, and knees), undergo rigorous testing.
The key test for abrasion resistance is performed on a specialized machine called the Darmstadt tester. In this test, a sample of the garment's material is subjected to a simulated slide on a concrete surface. For a garment to earn the A rating, the material in Zone 1 must withstand a rotational speed of approximately 265.4 revolutions per minute (rpm) on the Darmstadt machine. This is designed to replicate a slide at a road speed of approximately 28 mph (45 km/h). The material passes the test if it does not develop a hole larger than 5mm in any direction after the abrasion. It is important to note that this abrasion test is just one component of the comprehensive testing required for certification. To earn the final rating, the garment must also pass rigorous standards for tear resistance, seam strength, the impact protection performance of the included armor, and additional factors.
