NOT WATERPROOF
20 Oct 2025 by Al R
Lovely jacket, so comfy, warm. Fantastic protection. But... Wore once in the rain for three hours, and it was soaked through. Became really heavy, and took 24 hours to dry out. No good for touring if the slightest chance of rain.
Would thoroughly recommend for a cool, dry winter ride, but don't rely on rainproof qualities.
Also have to wait at least two weeks for SBS to do a warranty claim process, leaving me without being able to ride as this is my only jacket. First time they've let me down.

Leaked like a sieve

I really liked this jacket initially. It fitted me well and it was very comfortable and practical. It was ok for about 18 months until I got caught in a downpour while touring Wales. Sadly, the lining totally failed to keep water out, which was the one thing I really wanted from a laminated jacket.

Sizing ok if a bit snug!

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, but....
23 Apr 2024 by Dave S
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
10 Apr 2024 by Tristan P
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.

Paveway for the Win!!
29 Feb 2024 by Bad B
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 new jacket.

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.

Quality Jacket
24 Oct 2022 by Karl I
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.
