What a bargain
13 Oct 2025 by David
These leathers are fantastic quality at this price point on sale at £149.99 for the jeans and £189 for the jacket.
Make sure to try on though as the RST sizing charts are ridiculously inaccurate. According to my chest measurement I need a size 40. I ended up needing a size 44 and that's a snug fit!

Very good quality
06 Oct 2025 by Eduard S
Just bought those to go together with the RST Evo trousers for a trackday at Oulton Park. Very happy with my purchase. The quality is top notch, the waist zipper works perfectly. It was just warm enough and just vented enough for my needs - October time. Doesn't come with a back protector included but I had a spare lying around. Passed the track side tests no bother. Definitely recommend as a beginner two piece suit if you decide to try out running track days. And for the road it is perfect. Cheers.

Great quality RST
10 Jul 2025 by Paul
I have the RST Vector ? Air mesh size 42 already and decided to get this too. I got a 42 hoping it would be right, and it fits perfect, just like my existing jacket. I’m 5’10”, slim build with 39.5” chest. It’s “heavy” and good quality as expected. I bought the £15 DXR level 2 back protector at the same time ?
I would recommend this RST leather jacket !

Protection with style
07 Jul 2025 by Hamish
I’ve always used textiles and fancied a change. This jacket is reassuringly substantial, with comfy armour and striking contrast with fluo yellow.
Sizing is definitely small. Go at least a size up. Great service as always.
