RST Pro Series Adventure-X CE Textile Jacket - Sand / Brown

I bought this item on the spur of the moment when getting new boots, RST have a great reputation and this was listed with a Ride great buy recommendation.
It did say waterproof and breathable.
THE JACKET IS NOT WATERPROOF even a small shower had me wet. The zips are not waterproof.
Lots of vents for cooling in the hot weather.
The thermal liner is listed as waterproof to 15,000mm/cm2 .
Nice looking comfortable jacket and if you want waterproof you have to wear the thermal liner.

I needed to purchase a new jacket for some upcoming trips this year to Europe. I did a lot of research and looked at something that allows a lot of air flow, as I will mainly be using it during the summer months. I decided on buying the RST Pro Series Adventure-X CE jacket. I ordered two sizes in the jacket to try on and found that my real size was correct, a size medium. The staff at the shop in Birmingham were a great help and nothing was too much trouble.
I am very happy with the build quality of the jacket and love how much air flow you can get by opening the jackets chest vents, zips on both inner sleeves and the two exhaust vents on the rear. This kept me nice and cool. One thing to note is, as the jacket has two large air flow vents on the upper front, there are no pockets in this area, just the two pockets at the bottom of the jacket. These do not have a side opening to slide your hands in as you would normally expect but a fold down top with two press studs. The jacket comes with a thermal waterproof liner which I haven’t used yet. As always amazing service from SBS. Although I have not yet tried the jacket in the rain, I am very happy so far and would recommend it.

The shoulder pads dig in and aren’t aligned to the shoulders. The elbow/forearm pads move down the arm to almost the wrist and can’t be “secured” in the correct spot. The lining moves all over the place. The supposedly waterproof inner jacket quite simple isn’t ! One ride in a heavy ish shower saw me soaked to the skin.
Sizing is quite accurate and out shell build seems pretty good just a shame about the insides. This jacket is not a patch on my other textile jacket from a certain other Dutch brand.

Suffice to say I won’t be buying from this brand again. SBS brilliant, RST not so much.

The RST Pro Series Adventure-X CE Textile Jacket in Navy/Camo is an absolute winner! The fit is spot-on as per size, and the comfort level is exceptional—even on long rides. While I haven’t tested its waterproofing yet, the build quality is top-notch, giving me full confidence in its durability. The design is stylish and functional, making it a perfect choice for adventure riders. Highly recommended!

I was always an Alpinestars man. I don't know why but I'd never consider RST gear. I bought a second hand RST Pro Series Jacket and Pants off Marketplace for winter green laning. Loved them. I bought a new bike in March, needed new colours. Checked out a load of brands and decided on new RST Pro Series Adventure X. It is fantastic gear, great colours, loads of armour, it's warm, very comfy and far cheaper than the equivalent.

Nice and heavy so you feel safe in it

Perfect for my needs very comfortable and warm and waterproofing seems good too

Having rode bikes for over 40 years I have never had a textile jacket before, always leather with waterproofs over top if needed..why oh why didn't I get a textile before !! So I ride all year round what ever the weather, I have been so wet and cold at times, it hurt ...not now though thanks to RST .. I bought an XL the fit is perfect, very warm with just a t-shirt underneath in January not tested in pouring rain yet ( that's coming this week) but I'm sure I will be warm and dry .

Had this jacket for a few weeks now, feels very quality, I've been wearing it everyday to work, good fit, would recommend.

Recently brought to try and help keep me warm through these winter months. It's a really good quality jacket. Keeps me as warm as it should and a really good level of protection, feels well made, I would definitely recommend.

Bought this to replace my Oxford winter textiles, great quality, fit, armour and very waterproof, may need a thin fleece in temperatures below zero.

This is a well put together jacket.
It's heavy, but gives you that feel of protection.
For the price and quality It's well deserving my rating. Found the jacket to be extremely warm on a cold day. Have yet to test it in extreme wet weather.

So far I've found this nice and warm. Haven't been able to use in properly warm weather but spent a wet ride and day at Oulton park and it hadn't leaked. The neck closure is I agree quite tight and I'm not using this - I wear a warm neck buff and high viz over jacket so shouldn't get wind in. Comfortable on the bike after riding about 20 miles and all day long comfort. I think it is probably not the lightest but I don't notice it when on

Really nice jacket, well put together with a lot of thoughtful features, I am not convinced it is suitable as a 4 seasons jacket but definitely fine for three. Vents are large and well positioned, my only complaint is that the vents on the arm do offer a bit of stiffness, but this doesn't impact you when riding, mainly when you are off the bike.

Great jacket with many feature, pockets and quality materials. ordering and returns (i ordered several sizes to get the right fit) was effortless and refunds completed easily. Great service form sportsbikeshop
