The jacket fitted lovely. Nice waist bands adjusters which makes it easy to tighten around the waist. Not used the jacket yet due to snow and ice. My only gripe is level armour for the elbow and shoulder and no back protect other than that lovely jacket.

The RST Alpha 5 CE Textile Jacket pairs perfectly with the RST Alpha 5 RL CE Textile Trousers for a coordinated, dependable riding outfit. Both pieces are well built and comfortable with CE-certified protection, making them a great all round choice for commuting or longer rides. The jacket’s adjustable fit and weather ready design complement the trousers’ secure feel and practical features, giving you a cohesive look and reliable performance on every journey.

Not bought many bike jackets in my time, going by sizing guide i gave myself 1 size bigger for underclothes but its still on the nippit side. Other than that its a very good warm and dry jacket.

Looks more expensive than it is, fits well. Most of the jackets I tried on came up very short, this one didn't, so maybe a wee bit longer. I didn't want a heavily armoured jacket, this one will fit the bill and a good price too.

This is number 2 of these jackets I've purchased. They are well made, fit well, true to size and incredibly wind and waterproof. You do not need to be spending £100's on a solid, safe, warm, well constructed Motorcycle jacket. If I had any gripe. Velcro is well strong!! Sometimes it's a battle of wits opening a pocket!!

This jacket is amazing. It's so comfortable and warm it is actually waterproof unlike other products that aren't waterproof when they say they are. I would 100 percent recommend this jacket to all that's interested

The cuff Velcro has lost its grab making them difficult to tuck into gloves. Could have done with zips of poppers.

Rst clothing just fits perfectly. The arm length is a bit long but that’s perfect for me unless you have short arms. This could be my go to jacket every ride. Lovely and warm lots of pockets.

Good jacket for price. Only critique would be I would prefer zipper at sleeves as well as Velcro. But other than that very good jacket good size and keeps you warm and dry.

Got this in the Sumner sales for a ridiculous price! Now Summer is over and we are in to autumn I've started using it. BRILLIANT!! Warm, fluorescent stripes show well, fits well, is toasty warm! Most importantly it feels like a safe jacket. All the armour is in the right place and the jacket itself feels substantial. Highly recommended!!
