RST Pro Series Ventilator XT CE Textile Jacket - Silver / Black

Acceptable protection for how well ventilated this jacket is. It is absolutely perfect for those 30C days in summer. The air panels are large on this jacket and let in lots.

As noted in other reviews fit is on the small side. Sleeves a bit snug with the liner fitted (can't really fit a jumper on as well) however as this is for mainly summer use with a T-shirt should not be an issue. Good armour fitted. Not tested ventilation yet as bought in the sales and won't be using until it warms up.

Looks amazing on and has a feel of real quality. The armour is CE Level 2 at the sale price this really was a bargain. Only one downside was that the reviews did say go up one size and I didn't. So I had to exchange it for a size bigger but that was my fault. Sportsbike Shop were excellent as usual

I've had a few RST products over the years & earlier version of this jacket many years ago that I grew out of due to putting weight on, they have always been great value for money, knowing RST jackets tend to be on the smaller size order a size larger than normal & fitted me well. I bought it for summer riding so haven't had a chance wear it yet, but the armour is in the right areas & feels secure in them, not like some jackets the armour "floats" around the elbow etc.

Great jacket from RST. The most important safety: level AA with all needed armours on Level2! Great value for money. You can unzip full upper body/arms thermal lining+waterproof lining (it's as one) to achieve great ventilation for hot months.
Overall probably best jacket with that kind of specification that cost half of price of more famous brands.

I had the Ventilator 5 which I loved because of its 2 separate liners (one quilted and the other a showerproof liner) so I was a bit sceptical about buying this with just the 1 liner. I am pleasantly surprised about how good the liner is but also found that the old liners fit as well so very pleased with jacket

I liked the jacket, but I haven t had it long enough to see how it performs to the elements.

First thing go a size up. Pockets zip on the side, so don't forget to zip them up. Back protector seams a little high on the back, but all said fits well and with the removable liner you can use it if the mornings are a little cooler. I think the green and black is the best colour option. Very happy with the jacket

Great jacket. Keeps me nice and cool in the hot summer evening. And the removable liner which i leave in keeps me nice a snug on my early morning ride.
The sizing defo coming up small though.

Well vented, best for 20 degrees and above. Waterproof liner not been tested yet but it does help keep the chill out when the temperature drops.
Went up a size to get good fit. Waist zip not compatible with other trousers - why aren’t they all standard..

Jacket fits really well and feels great, it’s so much cooler in hot weather so I’m very pleased

Great jacket at a good price. Keeps you cool in summer and if it rains just slip in the liner.

Good - easy to swap out the liner
Bad - what do you do with the line once you've unzipped it? No map pocket to stuff it into.

I needed a jacket for the heatwave but also for the vagaries of the British summer, this jacket fitted the bill very nicely. The mesh allows plenty of air through keeping you cool while motoring. The waterproof lining is warm when the weather cools and is very comfortable.
The only downside I’ve found is that the cuffs are a little tight.
