Our customers say…

Customers say this jacket is ideal for hot-weather riding, with excellent airflow, a lightweight feel and a comfortable fit. They like the quality materials, practical pockets and casual style that works off the bike too. Sizing is generally true, though a few customers recommend going up a size. Some note the need to buy a separate back protector, but overall it’s seen as great value and highly recommended.

While my riding minion has only been out with this a few times, already they've commented on how big an upgrade it is over a traditional textile jacket which they're used to.

Very comfortable, fits well with the adjustable waist/arm areas and the pockets give enough secure storage for a few bits as needed when out - most importantly the vents allow for a very comfortable ride in the warm!

Replacing my Oxford equivalent may well be on the cards as quite like the colour of this in comparison!

Used this all last summer and it’s great at flowing air all round my body. Stops me from overheating. I’ve got a back protector in now which does reduce flow a bit, but that’s a fair price for safety.

The jacket is a good fit and good looking and does it's job well.
Best worn on a dry day above 25'oC as the breeze does get through those quality holes.

This jacket feels great in the heat, plenty of air flow, comfortable and lightweight, looks great, my only dislike is the velcro straps on the wrist could be a bit longer

Best worn when weather is hot. Air is forced through the jacket, so can be cold on long journeys. The jacket is very light and could be used for casual use. Would like to see thicker protection.

Great fitting jacket and looks great too. I’ve not had the chance to wear it yet as the weather turned bad again. I have no doubt it will be nice and cool in the summer months

I had ordered to store both the large and x-large to try on before buying. The other reviews are correct in that you probably need to size up. I am a large in everything but needed an xl in this jacket. Can't fault it though. It looks really nice and has a nice fit. I had been looking at another summer mesh jacket for a while now but glad I took the plunge on this one

I have mostly RST kit and love it. This is the first summer jacket I have had. It's cool to wear while riding and casual enough to get away with normal wear too. Great deal in the sales. Look out for Sportbikeshop's emails!

I normally wear XL but that was a bit too snug so I returned it and got XXL which fits perfectly. The jacket is very comfortable, it has plenty of pockets and looks smart. I haven't worn it in hot weather because of course it changed as soon as I got it!
The service from Sportsbikeshop.co.uk was outstanding as usual. Fast delivery, super easy return and no hassle whatsoever. Thanks guys.

Really nice product, great for keeping cool, really comfortable fit is good no need to go up or down a size. Shoulder and elbow armour is snug and not restrictive.
1 downer no back armour you have to buy seperate, however fortunately for me I have a RST winter jacket with the back armour so swapped the insert into this jacket no problem guess the back insert protection is a standard fit.

Nice fit with good sizing.
Comfortable to wear and looks like a casual jacket when off the bike.
Really good on warm days but requires a decent base layer of temperature drops.
All round good value for money
