Very pleased but did have to send my 1st purchase back before it was ever used. Sleeve popper came off in it's partner leaving a big hole on one side. No issues at all with Sportbikeshop swapping for another. The shirt itself is very light and cool on hot days compared to a textile jacket and with an extra back protector fitted feels very safe.
Fits the bill exactly for riding in warm weather, looks and feels good on and off the bike. Using it at temperatures above about 18C. Fit is more or less as per sizing indication, maybe a shade small. Zip and buttons all fine so far and the internal pocket is a handy addition to the two smaller external ones. Note that if you put the level 2 RST armour into the back pocket as I have done, its rigidity can give you something of a humpback appearance when you lean forward, amusing to some including the wife! But its an optional extra, so no issue.
Another great RST product. Shirt feels well protected while still letting it breathe in the wind. 6ft4 and went for a large and it comes exactly to my waist. Only complaint is it doesn't come with back protector but that's normal these days
Second one of these I have brought as I wanted another colour, came off my bike in the first one on a roundabout 15_20 mph and it didn't even rip or fray.
I bought this to ride in good weather to visit places and walk around. This is as expected more comfortable off bike than a "proper" biker jacket and looks good at the same time. The protection is comfortable and not restrictive at all.
I love the look of this jacket and the fit, my only gripe is the armour feels a bit flimsy. I bought the slate version of the RST shirt jacket and that one feels substantially more padded. Nothing I can't swap out however. Overall a very nice purchase.
Absolutely love this shirt. Well made, comfortable and great for use on hot summer days. It seems a really good quality product, with strong, solid zips and press studs, but despite the fitted armour, it still outwardly looks like a normal shirt I went a size up on my normal size, which fits perfectly. If I had a criticism at all or would be that it is perhaps a little short in the body, but otherwise a really good buy.

Great fit protective shirt

Great shirt fits well zips up and buttons up good protection and a very fast delivery by sportsbikeshop
I'm not a fan of leathers and as a casual rider who still wants protection this is perfect. Zip and fasteners are reassuringly robust. It's actually fairly lightweight which is great in summer, but no good in late autumn without many layers - despite it's looks. Combine with beard and (motorcycle) jeans for ultimate hipster look, lol. Ultimately very happy.
