Yes, the knee protectors in this collection are designed to integrate seamlessly with motocross boots and pants. Most models feature low-profile designs that fit comfortably under or over MX pants without restricting movement. The anatomical shaping ensures proper alignment with boot tops to eliminate gaps in protection. For optimal compatibility, pair with MX boots and MX pants from Alpinestars for a complete protection system.
Proper sizing ensures both protection and comfort during motocross riding. Measure the circumference of your leg approximately 15cm (6 inches) above the center of your kneecap while standing. Compare your measurement to the size chart provided for each knee protector model.

Adjustable straps on most models allow fine-tuning for a secure, personalized fit throughout your ride.

Racing-grade models may also comply with FIM homologation requirements for professional motocross competition. Each product listing specifies the exact certifications, ensuring you select knee protection that meets your riding discipline's safety requirements.
