Excellent protection and value.
20 May 2025 by Andrew
Jacket feels very well made and robust, also comes with a back protector, I've always had to buy these at an additional cost. The vents are easy to open with one hand and clip in magnetically. I was out in 23- degrees+ and the jacket was warm but manageable. I've (thankfully) not had a chance to test the waterproofing. There are enought pockets for the jacket to be practical but still look streamlined. The matching jeans attach via an easy to use zip or can be used with braces. Only downside is there is no way to keep the neck open on hot days but has not been a huge inconvenience so far. Very happy with the purchase at a very reasonable price for a Laminated AA Cat 2 armour rated jacket.

Impressive stretching laminated product.

Dislikes: single front zipper adequate for 3 seasons only. Small hand pockets which don't fit an average phone except in a vertical position. Hand cufs need improvement, not suitable for cold wet weather with short gloves. The fit seems smaller for my usual 2XL jacket size, 117cm chest.
Likes: definitely great in wet or warm weather. Excellent ventilation the cuffs are allowing a great deal of draft which works well in hot weather with the other front and back air vents. Slim fit, great length, feels light, good quality protectors. Good quality zippers, stiches and neck colar. Sleeves allow a relaxed fit, on short side.
Overall very pleasant to wear (took the insulation layer out to allow space, recommend trying different sizes first), great colors combo.
For winter the RST pro series commander are superior despite the lack of stretching material. The sleeves are also short requiring gauntlet gloves for long arms people.
I think that despite its small quirks this product is brilliant for 3 seasons commuting or touring.

Warm and comfortable

As my first proper adventure/touring jacket, I am really impressed with this piece of kit. Comfortable, cool in the hotter days and warm with the inner lay in. Nice big deep pockets. I intend to purchase the matching trousers too.
