RST Pro Series Ranger CE Textile Jacket - Black

High quality suit and material, Jacket weight is substantial.
Armour everywhere!
Bargain at this price point.
Bought to replace a BMW Rallye 3 suit with removable drop liners. The waterproof overs on this are easy enough to get on and work, though its already started raining typically when you stop to put them on !
The suit has great vents which makes it perfect for hotter climates.
Lots of pockets.
I can get the waterproof top and bottoms in the big rear stuff pocket at the base of the jacket.
The jacket thermal liner is good enough to use as a seperate, standalone jacket in cooler evenings off the bike.
I dont use the trousers thermal liner, just not needed and I also think they make the main trouser leg a little to tight.
Think about how and where you ride.
This is key.
For the UK, maybe not ideal and a laminate would be better, as you have to stop and put on the waterproof layers. For warmer and more consistent weather climates I think its just about perfect and covers all needs.
Impressed so far and great service from SBS as always.
Early days yet but will be tested to the max in Europe and India next year.

Materials and construction are good, general fit of the XL for me as 5'10" 46" chest is super. However the weight could be an issue for some. This is a heavy jacket by most standards. Partly as it has a 7pc level 2 set of armour included, but remove that and the jacket is quite heavy. The Destination jacket is better than previous liners, but it's not a great fit and the collar is possibly too tall. Having ridden in rain the WP over coat is good and waterproof. But again the fit has room for some
improvement. Loads of decent vents which should be good next summer !?! Pockets and storage in abundance for those who like to carry loads of stuff on them.

AA rated jacket with level 2 armour. You'd struggle to find another jacket the same spec for a lower price. I also bought the matching trousers. Haven't used much so can't comment on longevity. I did have to size up from my normal size and all the pads fitted in the right places (elbow and knees are adjustable). Only way could be better is if it was AAA rated but you pay big money for that.
