So @Kiwifruit what's the verdict on the jacket ?


I have an RST that's due for replacement - has been pretty good in the 8 years I've had it but I'm a  tad chunkier and zips, velcro  etc are starting to fail and its very faded etc.

I have a few RST items and I find the quality to be very good. The clothing etc suits the more curvaceous built of us. Designed in England and made elsewhere but quality is good as I have stated.

I was all set for a RST but got a Dririder, just happened. Great jacket, good zips n pockets, so many pockets. Came with 2 liners, warm then warmer. rode home tonight, 11 degrees, no liner, not at all cold. No zips on arms annoying, stupid loop then velcro, will get it changed. Nice jacket.

Happy with my new jacket Mike. Found it to be wind proof and warm. Been in a few showers but not heavy rain.
Better venting than my previous jacket. I like the double zip system rather than zip and domes. Long enough for me which is great as many l tried on l found to be a little short.
Pleased with my choice

Mine used to be long enough but since I packed on a bit of weight its now too short...

My current jaket is an RST and venting is really good.

Not quite sure what you mean by double zip as mine doesn't have that....

Anyway I'll have a  look - thanks



Oh I do also have a pair of RST motorcycle pants (designed to be worn over the top of other pants I guess and which zip to the jacket) but I don't wear em anymore.   I thought they'd be good to have and would keep me waterproof but water runs down into the back of them anyway.for that apparently And they are bulky - thus my preference for motorcycle jeans when riding

By double zip l mean it has an inner and an outer zip, offset so they don't line up with each other and there is a flap between the two to stop water entry.
