If it feels like armour in your bike kit then the law demands it is actually proper, protective armour. Here's how to tell how effective your impact protection is...
Collar fixing poor ,press stud unusable .Shoulder armour moves about in pockets.Comfortable on and off bike but a bit drafty front of neck on cold days.
Nice jacket, well made, warm and fits me well with no surprises in the sizing. And feels like it would do the job in the event of an off.
But it hasn't proved to be very waterproof. After a 30 min ride in moderate rain there were numerous wet bits inside by vents, and pockets etc. As well as the sleeves. And it takes ages to dry out too. Not an issue I've had with other jackets from other brands.
So as a dry weather jacket it's fine. But in my opinion not to be relied on as a waterproof. Disappointing as this is supposed to be part of RSTs pro line and laminated etc. I wouldn't buy again and will need to think about another brand for my wet weather jacket.
Overall, it depends on what you want it for. Dry, cold weather? Great. Rain? Not so much.
Excellent jacket, very pleased. I wanted a "do everything" jacket to wear on my Tiger 1050 Sport.
I didn't want a full length touring jacket but being 6ft a sporty cut jacket doesn't work either.
Comfortable, well fitting and good value.
I bought a Large, and I'm 6ft, 42" chest.
Fits perfectly.
This jacket is nothing short of excellent! I bought this to replace a very well used Alpinestars Andes V2 and the Paveway (for me) is far superior. It is laminated, the sportier cut is much more comfortable being mid-length as opposed to 3/4. The XL that I purchased fitted my 46" chest, 5'9", 15 stone frame snug enough to only be able to wear a tshirt underneath with the full length thermal liner in, I would have maybe opted for 2XL but sleeve length, cut and fit were too perfect!
The only thing that I will say is that I can do the collar button with the adjustment all the way out (I have a 19" neck!)
I can vouch for its waterproofing, 45 minutes in moderately heavy rain on my A2/M25 commute and no clammy bits! I do feel that more than an hour would test it though.
Gloves go under or over the cuffs fairly easily.
I would like to see some more colourways if I'm honest but that's just preference.
I can vouch for its protection too... a work colleague of mine rear ended me whilst stopped at a roundabout leaving work - not high speed, granted but the garment still looks new!
Thank you Sportsbikeshop and RST :)
Great fitting jacket, good level of protection, laminated construction and removable thermal lining. I wanted a replacement jacket, but not a 3/4 one and this fits the bill perfectly! Good specs and price.
A well made stylish adventure style jacket so far I've only used it in the dry but my previous RST jacket was decently waterproof.
The fit is true to size I'm 5'10 with a 43" chest the large was a very nice fit.
