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

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.

Very nice jacket. Super impressed with the quality of the outer breathable jacket. Wore this recently on a baking hot day and was very happy with the ventialtion.
It comes with a very nice zip-in waterproof liner (which I haven't tried in the wet yet). Nice touches such as zips around the cuffs to stop it riding up inside the outer and double flap over the front zip to prevent water getting in.
Comes with a full set of level 2 CE pads for shoulders, elbows and back, which is very unusual for a ventilated jacket.
Sizing is peretty good - I ordered up one size based on other reviews and it fits really well.
Very happy!

It’s comfortable and cool in summer with the removable lining. Also has good safety features and a removable back support

I love it so user friendly great for long warm days and the liner is good if UK weather turns

Seems great so far, reccomend sizing up. Only issue is a fiddly zip.

I needed a summer jacket and this RST mesh jacket with removeable waterproof quilted liner, AA rated with level 2 armour including back protector for under £130 fits the bill. I've only worn it once but it's much cooler with the liner removed so more comfortable than a normal textile jacket in hot weather . Not used in the rain yet but normal RST quality, 4 good useful pockets too.

Makes summer riding a different experience allowing the breeze to cool you. No more overheating. Good fit. Comfortable.

Good AA protection while having good airflow, might even be a bit chilly in the mornings but great for the afternoon. The thermal/waterproof layer provided is useful as well.

I purchased this RST ventilated jacket to replace my original RST ventilated jacket that I had had for ten years. This new jacket is well made and provides slightly better air flow when compared to the original jacket. I decided to get the bigger size which has provided better freedom of movement. RST provide quality jackets at a good price. I would also like to mention Boston sportsbikeshop excellent service allowing me to try on different sizes of jacket, this ensures you get the best fit.

I used this on a road trip across Spain - without the liner as it was 35-40 degrees. It’s a great fit and I’m really pleased with it. I feel safe and comfortable in it.

I’ve not used it with the liner but it looks warm enough for an English autumn days riding.

Definitely recommend this jacket

Wanted a mesh jacket for summer rides. This one comes with a light, waterproof/thermal removable liner for the odd occasion when the British weather does change.
Plus it's a mesh jacket with AA rated protection!
What's not to like?

You can certainly feel the air circulating through the jacket keeping you cool on those rides out on country lanes and main roads. The sizing is generally good, with a snug but comfortable fit in all the right places. Cuff seals are good, allowing gloves to slide over them easily. The collar isn't too tight (for me), and the zip cover works well. The spine, shoulder, and elbow protectors are unobtrusive and feel good enough for me. Good value for money in my opinion.
