RST Pro Series Paragon 7 CE Textile Jacket - Black / Black What I expected, good quality, lots of vents, full armour, warm. Waterproofing yet to be fully tested!
RST Alpha 5 CE Textile Jacket - Black / Grey Used first time yesterday on a cold January day, comfortable and warm
RST Alpha 5 CE Textile Jacket - Black / Grey Great fit, good value for money. I like the way it zips on to matching trousers.
Oxford Super Hoodie 2.0 Textile Jacket - Sports Red Feels very comfortable and well made, with handy and zippered pockets.
The protection layers that come with the jacket (elbows and shoulders) are well positioned and flexible making it easy to forget they’re even there.
Given the price, the overall quality of this hoody is brilliant and the colour is very bright too which adds to the safety component.
RST Pro Series Adventure-X CE Textile Jacket - Navy / Camo It’s a pity that the waterproof inner is also the warm liner. I would’ve preferred to have the waterproof liner either separate or laminated but this is reflected in the price. It’s perfect for winter or dry uk summer riding
Spada Commute CE Textile Jacket - Black Great fit, well protected
Oxford Calgary 2.0 Dry2Dry Jacket - Silver / Black I spent a bit more that I wanted to after a failure of a cheaper effort (waterproof not up to 30 mins on that one). Very glad I did. Been impressed with Oxford clothing before, and still am. The fit is nice, dry 2 dry branding does actually work... Couple of heavy rain trips recently... No leaks. The thermal layer is decent i.e. unless there's frost outside I am ok without base layer upon base layer. I swapped the elbow and shoulder armour for level 2 however the stuff with the jacket although level one did seem decent. No back armour with this jacket. I bought the matching trousers. Same review. Only downside with the trousers is the sizing. L was too small at the hips XL is slightly too big but can be adjusted.
