RST Alpha 5 CE Textile Jacket - Black / Red

love it, looks good and keeps me warm and dry, the removable body warmer helps during the colder months

Good price, good feel. Super thick and warm . Waterproof as well. Feel like your in a bomb squad wearing this as it s quite a big jacket but it protects you from the elements very well.

Fantastic Jacket, fits like a glove, comfortable and dry. Ordered my correct size {L} and it fitted just right, nice and warm too, I love it.

I have short arms and a big gut so this does not help, but it is not enough to hinder the riding experience. Warm jacket, I have had the inner lining removed as it has not been needed yet. Had a little experience in rain and it was waterproof for what I encountered (was not a heavy downpour)

Excellent jacket for an excellent price, fits really well without any need for adjustments. Very quick next day delivery and lots of updates around time and location. Brilliant service will definitely be back

I’m very happy with this amazing jacket so comfortable

The jacket is exactly what I was after, comfy, warm and with all the built in protection. The adjustable straps make it a perfect fit. The yellow flashes are a good visual element too. Lots of pockets for phones, keys etc

Well fitting, looks good, really warm jacket.

Great jacket until it started leaking where the arm bends. I guess the internal membrane cracks over time from bending your arms.

This jacket is very comfortable to wear. I’ve worn it during warmer weather with the liner removed but I’d imagine it would be sufficiently warm enough in the colder months when needed. The vents on the front and back seem to work fine to let enough air flow through when needed. Had it on in a few showers and I stayed dry. Plenty of pockets if you need them inside and out.

Having had many, many types, lengths, sizes to choose from, I was able to try lots of different jackets on. This jacket was most comfortable for me. Has reflectors on it, armour, adjustable with Velcro strap and zips for air flow. I feel protected yet free to move in the jacket. Excellent price too.

Well here’s my review of the RST Alpha 5 CE Textile Jacket. Where to start, brilliant price for the quality. Water and wind proof with waterproof pockets. You’re able to tighten the waist, sleeves and arms to your desired fit. It’s fitted with CE amour in the shoulders and elbows with a pocket if you wanted to buy a back protector. I’ve not tried how warm the jacket is due to buying it at the start of summer, but it does have a removable gilet for those cold winter rides. Coming from a leather jacket its much lighter and more flexible. I have to say I was amazed that the vents on the shoulders actually work. I’m returning to bike’s after twenty years away… I needed some new kit. With Sportsbike just up the road it was a no brainer.

Exactly what I was expecting from this jacket.

Jacket has a good feel, added back protector from previous jacket. Good pockets. May seem heavy, but gives that confidence of feeling protected. Bought after a try before buy at Glasgow branch for an Alpine stars , which was small. Good help from staff, allowed settling for this one, no regrets.
