AS we begin to get back to some form of normality, like me, you may be wondering how all the motorcycle clothing that was a perfect fit last year, now all of sudden feels rather tight…
New Suzuki Hayabusa 2021 Review
Lockdown Ballast is as real a danger to UK bikers, and there is nothing worse than seeing ill-fitting jackets whizzing through the countryside.
If this scenario feels familiar, fear not. RST has just dropped its latest range of motorcycle clothing with some updated products plus all-new items.
Here’s out pick of the bunch.
RST Built With Kevlar range
RST has teamed up with world renowned protection and abrasion specialists to design a the new Built With Kevlar collection. It includes a range of textile jeans, hoodies, shirts, and jackets, all of which utilise the protection offered by the space-age material.
The pick of the crop for us is the RST X Kevlar Brixton Textile Jacket. For starters, it’s classically styled and doesn’t look any different to a fashionably styled waxed cotton or textile jacket.
It also features all the protection you’d expect, with CE Level 1 Hexa shoulder and elbow armour and a pocket for the back protector. Additionally, the jacket has a removable quilted thermal lining, to keep you warm whilst riding in cooler climates, and has ventilation points at the chest and rear of the jacket to support airflow in, through and out of the jacket for optimum comfort whilst riding.

RST Adventure-X Textile Jacket & Jean
If you’re heading off the beaten track this summer, an adventure riding suit is a must. And you can’t get much more off the beaten track than the legendary Dakar Rally. That’s where the Adventure-X Textile riding suite has been tested, with Dakar Rally competitor Mick Extance specifically chose this jacket to tackle the Dakar in 2020.
It is constructed from MaxTex, with a Ballistic textile outer in key impact areas for abrasion resistance. It also features a new innovative and removable X-Liner – a singular lightweight lining that combines the quilted thermal liner and the SinAqua waterproof membrane. This can be removed easily and stored in the rear jacket map pocket. CE Certified to Level AA thanks to its ultra-tough construction and CE armour throughout.

RST Ventilator-X Textile Jacket & Jean
The Ventilator-X jacket and jean combo is RST’s lightest yet and has been redesigned for 2021 to offer better ventilation without compromising on safety.
It’s constructed with a strong and hardwearing MaxTex outer overlaid with a Ballistic textile in key impact areas. The large K300 Mesh panels, make the RST Ventilator-X jacket a robust yet lightweight textile motorcycle jacket with a single ambition to keep you as cool as possible when out on the bike.

It meets the AA CE safety standard and features stretch leather motion panels for maximum comfort and movement when worn.

NEW - RST TracTech Evo 4 Leather Glove
The new TracTech Evo 4 glove combines the best of previous TracTech gloves with more features for a improved, comfort and protection.
Made with both full-grain cowhide and kangaroo leather, the glove features a CE Level 2 Carbon Knuckle Protector for impact protection. Kevlar® Fibre on the palm stitching and underlay, along with double layer kangaroo leather and an RST palm slider protect the palm in the event of a high-speed slide, while the double wrist and cuff closure offer a secure fit. Kevlar® lining throughout the rest of the glove prevents tearing, and elasticated conjoined fingers to prevent “finger roll” without affecting reach or flexibility when changing gear.
The glove has a perforated outer to maximise airflow, digital leather panels on the palm and forefingers to enhance grip, a memory foam panel to the back of the hand to aid comfort and support, with pre-curved fingers to suit the contour of the hand on the handlebars.
