    Most seem to have them anyway, and im assuming theres no real compatibility issues with different brand pants and jacket.
    Typically you get 4 inch and 8 inch length zips - but different brands can use a different pitch. So you either need to try it, or buy the same brand pants as you have jacket.

    Just checked my alpinestars jacket, it has a 700mm long zip so im guessing it was once part of a set. I guess that limits my options but at least makes me able to use it for track days

    So im finding it pretty hard to find matching pants online.
    Can anyone recommend pants that will zip with an alpinestars tz-1 jacket?
    I would rather not buy brand new alpinestars pants as i dont have that much money.

    I just bought new alpinestars leathers and all the jackets have a 270 degree zip system that zips most of the way around. Not sure if any other brands have the same zip system but it may pay to search for a "270 degree zip pant"

    I have decided to just buy alpine star pants, im currently bidding on a pair on TM but if they go for more than i can afford i might just buy a cheap 1 piece.
    I think Joe Rocket leather are compatible with alpinestar but cost about the same.

    OR just buy any old pants and get a matching zip put on them or get a 'zip adapter' made.

    There are plenty of leather workers about that can replace zips for you, so it doesn't really matter what pants you get, joining zips are retro-fittable.
