RST Pro Series Commander CE Textile Jacket - Black / Black

Having had several so called waterproof winter jackets that either never were properly waterproof, or were for only a short time so I thought try a laminated type this time. I have had RST gear before and it is always decent. I wore this on a 3 hour ride in heavy rain and spray and was bone dry.
I only have one small gripe and that is the napolian pocket I use for fuel cards is not outside the zip so it can be accessed just by undoing the outer storm flap but you have to open up the outer zip. No big deal though.
All pockets seem to keep the damp out and the removable thermal liner is very warm and the fit to the cuffs is by zip so it doesn't ride up or disconnect like button and loop tends to. The fit is good straight out of the packaging so I think the sizing is accurate.
Overall well pleased and it arrived next day at 4pm.

This jacket is incredible value for money and is so far advanced from the jacket I'm replacing that was a goretex one from Heine Garrick. The air vents, waterproof seams on all the pockets, quality fasteners and zips, multiple levels of adjustment - all top notch. Not tested out the waterproofness yet, as not had any rain since purchased.

I bought this jacket & trousers a few days before I was due to spend a week touring Scotland in late May 2025. I expected rain but was confident this suit would hold up. It passed with flying colours! I ended up riding in much worse conditions than had been forecast.

After completing 1200 miles over 6 days this jacket and trousers kept me bone dry, comfortable and confident to ride, whatever the conditions. We rode in strong winds, heavy rain, lovely warm sunshine and even hail! The jacket and trousers didn't let me down at any point.

A couple of tiny gripes; the wrist straps seem a little short, they didn't stop me getting the jacket over my gloves, but seemed werdly stingy, the braces are velcro but seem to work ok and there are far too many pockets, the jacket feels busy in that respect. But, overall, RST have produced a great touring suit.

Bought this jacket as longer in the back and pleased with what I bought. I haven't been out in it in the rain so can't comment on that but it is extremely windproof and warm in my opinion

I have bought this jacket to replace my Held one. So far I have ridden with the liner in and out and have found it extremely comfortable. I can't comment on rain yet (surprisingly for England) but by the looks of the waterproof zips I can't see there being an issue. The back protector is more substantial than my Held jacket but by no way intrusive. Very good value for money.

I had the commander ce in silver for a few years, and it was great in summer with the vents open, and the pockets are great for space as well.
because its a lamintaed jacket it is waterproof on the out side wich is what all the rst jackets should be, why rst came up with the idea of a waterproof inner on some of the other garments is just stupid to me living in the uk.
the zips are great and the vents when open do work on the hot days in summer.
I chose to buy it again but this time in black because for some reason the grey/silver version i was finding car drivers were looking right through me and on a few occassions some did go to pull out.
the fit is sport on and always has been with all the rst gear i have bought over the years.

The Jacket has good safety features, fits well and is a reasonable price.

Well made and well specified jacket, only two vents on the front may make it a bit warm on warmer days, yet to be seen, but supper warm and wind tight on colder mornings. Received a complete dud of a jacket first time round, which was a shame, bad stitching and definitely a second if not worst when compared to the replacement that was sent. Great service from SBS when I sent photos of all the faults, no quibble replacement. Overall happy.

Purchased the commander jacket and trousers recently, it's early days but really good fit true to sizing chart, they feel robustly made and quality, can't comment on water resistance yet but they are warm with the the lining on spring mornings, plus a great discount on a top range RST jacket

Ordered a few different RST jackets as wasn't sure which one to go for. Went with the commander one and returned the rest. This jacket fits me so well. I'm usually 2XL in my motorcycle jackets and this is what I ordered. The adjustment is great and it fits me like a glove. Arm length is spot on.
Not tested the waterproofness and don't intend to either. It's certainly windproof and kept me toasty warm when riding in 4 degrees.
The armour feels really good to me. Feels a little hard on the elbows at first when I put the jacket on but they seem to soften after a short while. They're kept in the right place by the great fit of the jacket.
More than happy with it and expect it to last a good few years.
Sportsbikeshop's service is just excellent too. Mega quick delivery and processed the return of the other jackets equally quickly. We'll done guys.

UK made so sizes more accurate, feels like a quality product. Windproof and warm. Good pocket storage . Velcro fastening on wrists so can get gloves underneath jacket. Easy to attach pants to jacket. Collar slightly stiff but can live with it , zipped back pocket handy , zip is underneath flap? , front vents underneath flaps worked ok sub 50mph, flapped around a bit faster speeds, armour feels quality. Quality zip covered by a storm flap that also zips up only been out in drizzle water beaded off . Pleased overall with this jacket,

Excellent jacket - inner waterproof liner easily removable, extremely warm for biking around in the winter months, been out in pouring down rain and it kept me dry with no damp spots

Knowing what I wanted, Sportsbikeshop were competitive on price an quick delivery. Cannot fault service. Quality will be checked when heavy downpour.

Good quality (certainly better than my previous Alpinestars gear) and a good fit. Haven't had it out in the rain yet, so I can't comment on the waterproofing. It feels very solid and protective - my old gear wasn't AA or level 2 and there is a certainly a difference.
