Great jacket
24 Mar 2026 by Adam
Rst are my go to brand for bike gear, reasonably priced great quality. The leather is soft enough to be comfortable straight away. I would order a size bigger than normal as they do fit quite snug. Full zip to any other Rst jeans or belt. The elbow and shoulder armour seems comfier than the older stuff though the lack of included back protector is a bit mean. It does have the pocket for one and other Rst ones do fit or you can obviously wear a standalone one like a forcefield etc. Definitely go a little bigger if you plan to use a seperate back protector.. 4 stars for the lack of back pad. Fantastic service as always arrived in less than 24hrs.

Great, comfy jackets
23 Mar 2026 by Ronnie B
Cracking jacket, i went a size up as other reviews had mentioned and it fits perfectly. Getting a jumper on would make it too snug but this is a fair weather jacket not a waterproof touring coat. Without the lining its very airy- so I’m looking forward to going lining-free during the 3 weeks of British summertime!! The excellent SBS returns policy makes a swap easier of course- so you can buy with confidence

RST Leather Jacket

Excellent product, worn twice now and really like the fit, the fact it zips into time matching trousers and would happily buy another one as the quality is good and still provides free movement unlike my older leather two piece.

Great fit and quality
25 Feb 2026 by Mal
Bought to replace a 14 year old RST Slice jacket and it doesn’t disappoint. Fit is excellent, albeit I went up one size from normal to allow for full comfort.
It’s supple and comfortable from the off - there’ll be no need to wear in it.
Good value and even more of a bargain in the sale.
Impeccable service from SPORTSBIKESHOP as usual.

Perfect
25 Feb 2026 by JB
I love the combination of leather with the added armour for elbows and shoulders!
Fit is perfect to my size.
Wanted to order it online but fitting it in the shop made sure I got the correct size.

Biking jacket
24 Feb 2026 by Sutinderjit M
I was looking for a good leather jacket. This one not only looks good, fits well and appears to be well made too.
I was particularly happy that I could purchase leather trousers to fit the jacket as I didn’t want a one piece set..
Would defo recommend. Fast delivery too.
