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...
Customers praised the mesh jacket for its ideal blend of comfort and protection during hot weather. Many appreciated its effectiveness at keeping cool, while noting the need for an additional back protector. Despite minor critiques about tight cuffs or limited pocket space, the overall quality, fit, and affordability compared favorably against other brands. The removable liner provided added versatility for changing climates. Overall, the jacket's sporty design and functionality left customers very satisfied, making it a top choice for summer rides.
We have become RST fans over the years, RST apears well made and never disapoints, Add the excellent service and price we recieve from Sportsbikeshop its a great outcome.
This jacket is very smart and well made comfortable fit there is a pocket for back protector but not supplied.
Very good airflow like your not wearing it!.
I have tried this jacket in 28 degree's C and it was fantastic. It is lightweight and gives great airflow and has a good level of protection. In my opinion this is the difference between having a good summer ride and a great summer ride. Quality is great and fits really comfortably.
Waterproof inner liner with a mesh outer. Perfect for summer in England
Love the style, fit and comfort on the hotter days. I haven't tested the liner in rain yet but it doesn’t do much as a windproof liner which is a shame.
Good fit and the removable liner is good for keeping the chill off until the day warms up. Plenty of mesh areas over the jacket to keep the rider cool. I think it would benefit from having a zipped gusset at the wrists, but this is a small critique which doesn't detract from the performance of the jacket. A major attraction for me was the full length zip to connect to trousers. Many nowadays just have a short connection zip at the back or even just loops to thread a belt through.
I'm very happy with this purchase.
Good looking jacket. Comfortable to wear. Many complaints about cuffs being tight but I like that feature, will keep cold air and water out. Surprisingly breathable with liner in. Not great but good enough. Only complaint is the waist adjustment. There should be more Velcro along the side. I can’t tighten it up to where I want because I run out of velcro. So the midsection is puffy looking. Overall though I’m happy with the purchase. I can add some velcro myself.
I haven't tried this out yet as it's a tad cold outside. However, the quality is obvious and what you would expect from RST. The fit is perfect for me. Comfortable and snug whilst allowing more than enough movement. The removable waterproof liner is a bonus with our unpredictable weather. My only gripe would be that in this day and age, a back protector should be included as standard rather than having to purchase it separately.
My first mesh jacket, bit my first jacket from RST.
Usual RST quality with some added cool, quite literally. Fantastic for the hot days we get and still feel like it would protect if the worst occured.
Overall I'm pleased with it. The waterproof liner is a pointless thing as with all internal liners, they may hold the wet away but the cold gets through either way. I carry a waterproof over jacket in case things get moist.
Always worn full leather jacket but this is defo what you need to keep cool in the summer. I give this a 5 star .
Well made jacket, spent 5 miles after leaving skegness making sure coat was done up that's how much air was getting in wife thought it was hilarious, would buy again.
Bought this after a week of sweating my hooligans off, weather then went off as well - doh! (my bad). However it's come back to good heat so have used this jacket now in sunshine, heat, humidity, and light showers. I have to say I'm well impressed with it in those conditions especially good inner weather proof liner (arms sweat however if sun comes out after raining) just have to stop and take it out, good excuse for a breather (no pun). Jacket is light weight and fits well and I must say I don't experience the Velcro issues of it sticking to everything like I do with my other RST jacket, good design here RST. Sat behind a fairing and visor it's really good to get any air flow through to the torso so good on ya RST. Also looks really good. Price was good too and good on ya Sportsbikeshop supporting service workers. I'd give more than 5 if I could. Finally good protection rating for this good of mesh jacket.
Super fast delivery, great price and does exactly what it was designed for, used on a 240 mile trip round the dales on a plus 25c day and the jacket kept me cool all day.
Jacket true to size but would recommend getting a back protector for piece of mind.
As always excellent service from Sportsbikeshop first and foremost. Jacket is very light and comfortable in warm weather also performed better than expected in a heavy rain shower. I've taken the lining out as I found the elasticated wrists very irritating. Overall excellent jacket for the money. Would recommend
Never had a mesh jacket before and am on a tight budget always used to buy Dainese so I thought I would try RST and I am not disappointed, it fits great, it's comfortable and I feel well protected. Unbeatable jacket for the money.
Really good quality jacket, fits well, Snug around wrists
Would be a 5 however front pockets are a little small, especially if you have a larger mobilephone like an S22 or a Zfold like i do, doesnt fit. Need to use inside pocket, however if you have insert in, no access no inner pocket.
Nice fit and true to size. RST gear is good quality, this will be great for those hot summer days, if we ever get them!
This is a smart looking, sporty jacket and the mesh panels are very effective at allowing the passage of air through, in fact, so far I've been unable to ride it without the liner in due to our less than blisteringly hot summer.. I would have liked an inner pocket but I guess with the nature of the mesh construction that isn't really viable. I'd definitely recommend it for the two days of summer we get every year or if you intend riding to more exotic locations, it's like riding in a t shirt but you still have good protection. Sizing is accurate too. I
