Alpinestars RJ-5 Rain Jacket - Black / Grey

  Best waterproofs ever owned, nearly perfect, 1 Jun 2009

I have been motorcycling for more years than I care to remember in all weathers and this is the first bit of kit that keeps me dry! The main advantage of this jacket is the lack of a diagonal seam that lets the water in as found on all 1 piece suits. I currently ride old British so have not tested it at the insane speeds that some of you younger folk travel at but at normal traffic speeds it is OK. This is the 2nd one I have bought and decided to get an XL instead of L as it is awkward to get on over the padded leather jacket that I wear. I also have the trousers and apart from melting it on an exhaust pipe they are similarly brilliant. Better than 'Goretex' that lasts a couple of years if you are lucky, much cheaper and means that leathers can be worn in the dry, which are better looking.

Nice and compact good value for money. Excellent service from sportsbikeshop and really helpful on the phone. Would recomend both jacket and sportsbikeshop.

Very nice looking jacket, keeps you lovely & dry. brilliant to stick under your seat for when you get caught out by the weather while you're out and about. Only gripe like others have said is about the velcro only on either end, apart from that, spot on.
