Advice & Guides If it feels like armour in your bike kit then the law demands it is actually proper, protective armour. Here's how to tell how effective your impact protection is...
I'd decided it was time for a new jacket and had been looking at different options from the brands. Ideally wanted something that would attach to my riding jeans and RST came up as the winner. Tried a number of jackets on in Glasgow (ordered in 2 different sizes after speaking to the SBS team) but the RST was much more comfortable first off.
Worn it a few times now and it's just bedding in and it's getting even more comfortable. Armour is higher rated than in other similarly proced products which is always a bonus with RST. Connector means I have the added security when riding with my jeans.
The gear looks absolutely amazing! ? The all-black look is seriously sleek and professional, and everything fits together perfectly. You look ready to hit the road! ?️?
Fit and finish if the jacket is incredible, back protection sold separately sucks but will buy that soon. Long arms but that s more my shape, bigger shoulders/chest than arm and waist measurement so difficult to fit anything bang on but overall really good. Doesn t pair great with short gloves that I have as they push against each other however with some RST gloves I m sure the fit will be sound.
good air flow and great removable insert for the hot days, leather is quality and design looks sweet.
Lovely jacket tried this one on and the standard S1 it was like night and day this one is well worth the extra. Very comfortable and flexible and surprisingly cool whilst riding. I bought the matching jeans aswell which were also very good.
This jacket goes with my S1 CE leather trousers. Very comfortable. Not excessively heavy like some jackets can be! Great quality for money.
This was purchased with part exchange from the older S1 CE leather jacket as I found a defect whereas some stitching was missing.
Sportsbikeshop in Reading were superb in accepting it back and changing it for this one without any fuss whatsoever, it was unworn still with labels attached but I'd had it for 6 months.
This newer model is definitely of a higher quality, the lining in particular is lovely, the leather seems softer too.
I have since purchased the level 2 back, shoulder, & elbow protectors and I plan to get the chest protector when it comes into stock and I can honestly say I prefer it to my older Tractech Evo jacket as it has a sporty cut but minus the hump which I the main reason I went for it.
I have paired it up with the Tractech Evo D3O leather trousers and they look great together.
If I had one small criticism it would be that it fits a little roomier than the previous S1 CE jacket in which I was a perfect size 42, in this new one I was in between sizes and nearly went for the size 40 but it cut into my neck and would have bothered me, also I knew that once I'd fitted the thicker level 2 protectors it'd take up that slight bit of room which it has and is now close to perfect, with the sleeves being ever so slightly longer than the old version, nevertheless it isn't extreme and doesn't seem to interfere with my gloves.
This jacket is made with the Knowledge of a long established English company. They are well involved in the motorcycling racing world, and offer their vast expertise at a very reasonable price.
This jacket is a clear indication of that. Great price, brilliantly styled, available in 5 colours.
For me, the fit and finish are perfect, so comfortable. This is my 2nd S1 jacket, the other being the full on summer one.
I can t rate them enough, in fact, I really am grateful for the quality and price.
Great Jacket - tried on at Preston store. Fits a treat, really comfy straight from the off. Wish I'd bought an S1 ages ago. Really good value for money
Lovely Matt leather finish and a sports touring cut rather than full on sports
AAA rated - order a size up to allow for whatever you wear under plus any armour you may wish to add
Recommend going to your nearest store to ensure best fit and staff are really helpful!
I love this jacket. It's very comfortable to wear when riding and provides a great fit. The jacket feels well-made, allows good movement on the bike
Really pleased great quality and fits well
Leather quality is great, fits true to size
Back and chest armour needs to be purchased separately
It is a nice jacket that I find comfortable but as a normal 42 I need to go to a 44 to wear it with the removable lining over a TShirt.
Really pleased with this jacket, excellent fit and quality at a sensible price, also bought matching trousers both of which I would say are a little on the larger size which is not a problem for myself as it allows for a back protector to be worn comfortably.
Great leather RST jacket, very comfortable and a great colour match for a bike. Great communication and delivered on time.
