Bargain price yet high end product
19 Mar 2026 by Alex
I’ve owned a alpinestars for a few years and it has not lasted well! Velcro on the cuffs went in a few months and didn’t feel very sturdy, anyway thought I’d try a rst as the reviews were looking good, anyway long story short I won’t go back to alpinestars! Rst are a fraction of the price and feel so much better, the armour feels better, the build quality of the jacket seems better. I was so impressed I then bought the new leather race jacket by Rst as I was so impressed, I did buy a extra back protector for this jacket as doesn’t come with it but you can get the right one for less then £30 so it’s still a bargain!

Excellent jacket

I am really impressed with this jacket, the quality is excellent and the fit is true to size. I’ve added a back protector and with the thermal liner attached it’s lovely and warm riding in February.

Fit is great
12 Feb 2026 by Chris S
I find the rst range to fit myself great. I ordered a 3XL as I'm chunkier than id like to replace the 2XL I have (which also fits fine albeit snug). Id say for the most part the range is true to size and the quality is great much like sportsbikeshop's excellent turn around times
