RST Spectre Air D3O Textile Jacket - Black

Excellent jacket. Bought for a European trip. 2000 plus miles travelled and really comfortable the whole trip. Add a wind blocker underneath in cooler weather and a waterproof over the top when it rains and it’s the perfect touring jacket.
Couple of caveats; I have replaced the armour with d30 ghost in the elbows and shoulders which I find more comfortable.
No back protector supplied.
No loops to connect to trousers although that doesn’t bother me personally.

I bought the jacket as I was going to Portugal for a couple of weeks. As it turned out Portugal had record breaking high temperatures (40 degrees) and I got caught up in this. Although it's hard to stay cool when it's this hot on a fully faired Goldwing I was very impressed at the ventilation and air flow through the jacket. I had to go up a size to get the right fit and the cuffs on the arms are in between large enough to fit a glove under the sleeve and small enough to fit a glove over the sleeve. I was wearing vented short cuffed gloves so maybe this would be just an issue for me. I liked the popper to fasten on the the neck rather than the velcro "norm", I used this with the RST D3O Viper Air CE Level 2 Back Protector.

Was searching for a summer jacket and by chance seen this one, perfect fit, I went for a medium, air flow is excellent, first ride out was yesterday in 26 degrees, looks, and feels great.

This is an ideal summer mesh jacket and would work great with a thermal inner or waterproof outer as part of an all seasons 3 layer combo. I purchased the optional D30 back protector and found the fit to be perfect.
