Great jacket

Good looking, well made jacket. Fits well and true to size - bought large for 44" chest. Lots for scope for adjustment and decent pockets. Not tested in the rain yet but comfortable and warm.

Great all round jacket
13 November 2024 by Dave H
This jacket strikes the perfect balance between style, comfort, protection, and most importantly, price.

The first thing I noticed was how comfortable it is. The fit is spot-on, with adjustable straps that allow for a snug, custom fit. The material feels durable yet flexible, making it easy to move around without feeling restricted.

It comes with CE-approved armor in the shoulders, elbows, and back, giving me peace of mind while riding. The textile material is tough and seems like it can withstand a lot of wear and tear.

The black and grey color scheme looks sleek and modern. I also appreciate the multiple pockets, which are great for storing essentials. The ventilation system is another big plus, keeping me cool during warmer rides.

Overall, the RST Alpha 5 is a fantastic investment for any rider. It offers excellent protection, comfort, and style at a reasonable price. I highly recommend it to anyone in need of a reliable and stylish motorcycle jacket.

New winter hi vis jacket

Really comfortable and durable jacket with good hi vis markings which is great for Autumn and dark nights. Fits really well with velcro straps to adjust the fit and cannot recommend this jacket enough. Feels really well made and doesn't feel restricted like other ones I had tried on

Really happy with the quality. Warm, comfortable, no frills, good value jacket.
Does everything a higher priced product would do.
I usually wear a leather jacket all year round but was getting tired of getting to work cold and wet. £99 problem solved.

Great Jacket, have been caught in the rain a few times and I've stayed bone dry and warm. Excellent jacket and with that price tag you cannot go wrong at all. Brilliant RST quality.

Excellent service from Sportsbikeshop.co.uk too

I like the jacket, it will keep you dry, for a while. Its not made of nylon, so at some point, obviously, you get wet. But it takes a lot of rain. It wasnt as thick as I expected, so I was surprised that the first day I wore it (I commute with my bike and hit the road at 5:30 am) I felt cold. Only on my sleeves, where you have no linen, and I was wearing a tshirt, like I said, i wasnt expecting to be cold. Next day, i wore a jumper and was ok. Defo needs some clothing underneath in my case, especially in fall when will be 5 degrees in morning. Build quality is good, feels sturdy, zips and velcros are well sewn, it feels good, feels well made, i like it. I also bought it at half price or about, so if i would have paid full price, which was like £200, i would have sent it back. Its well worth £100. Good jacket, but if you ride in the cold, get something better.

Better than price suggests !!
13 May 2024 by Shaun L
Quality jacket, feels like it'll last a long time.
Length is perfect for me, and really warm with the thermal liner in.
Almost straight after buying we were hit with a warm spell & the lining was easily removed, plus the vents in the shoulders are really effective.
Dont be fooled by the price, this doesnt feel like similar priced no name jackets.
It feels like it is,
an RST jacket !
