Verified Customer Reviews for RST F-Lite Airbag CE Textile Jacket
Glorious for those hot summer days
20 Apr 2026 by Steve W
I wear this jacket less than ten days per year, but on those few scorching hot summer days it's worth every penny. Wonderfully comfortable & cool, while keeping full airbag protection. The only downside is cleaning out the hundreds of dead bugs that get splatted into the mesh. Best to let everything dry completely, and then use a brush or vacuum to evict them.

Fits well, lots of airflow for hot days. Same airbag system as my other RST jackets. Well made RST product as usual!

Description
The F-Lite is the lightest, most ventilated, CE Certified airbag jacket RST has ever made - ideal for riding in sunny climates.
The F-Lite Jacket's lightweight yet robust construction comes from K540 mesh supported by HTC fabric, providing huge airflow without compromising abrasion resistance. Knitted to enhance comfort, ventilation and movement, the F-Lite fully accommodates the In&motion Airbag, allowing enough room for effective deployment. Inside, a shower resistant windproof liner provides protection in light rain, while sleeve and waist adjusters offer a tailored fit. The Amara covered sports collar and cuffs enhance comfort. The jacket comes with a pocket for a back protector and CE Level 1 shoulder and elbow armour along with shoulder cups and reflective panels and logos for added visibility and protection.
