Overall good

Overall a good jacket, with space for back protection which some jackets don't support.
Good inner liner that is removable too. Pretty good weatherproofing but not perfect.
Good ventilation.
I do find the velcro for the cuffs is a bit weak and so the cuffs do sometimes come undone and you get a nice breeze up your arm. Otherwise a good jacket overall.

Compared with other products, this is clearly a less expensive option, but do not let that sway you. I have been wearing this for a couple of weeks and have found it both comfy and warm. Have now taken the inner lining out and still really good.

Love the fold over tops on the pockets as well as the velcro fastening.

Didn't come with a back protector but picked one up from the shop at the same time so no stress.

Overall I am very happy with this jacket and I am positive that if you purchase one, you will be too.

I bought this jacket for my son because his old bike jacket was falling apart. He is delighted with this one. Fits superbly. It is very warm and no wind gets in like his old one. Highly recommended jacket

Ordered medium, I'm 40inch chest and it fits perfectly with inside thermal layer fitted. Used in very cold temperatures and kept me warm. Not used in rain yet so can't comment on waterproofness. Good quality with good protection.

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
