RST Rider Dark CE 2478 Motorcycle Jacket

Safety

The RST Rider Dark CE jacket offers CE Certification rating A with CE level 1 armour at the shoulders and elbows. It also features a back protector pocket (back protector not included), so you can choose to wear a strap-on back protector or purchase a back protector to fit into the pocket. The ultra-durable MaxTex construction is both lightweight and ultra-protective. Triple stitched seams with bonded nylon give added impact resistance.

Styling

The Rider Dark CE 2478 Textile motorcycle jacket is a sleek and stylish jacket brimming with functionality and versatility. Dark is the keyword here - this is a plain black jacket with extremely subtle branding. The buttons, straps, cuffs, everything is black, including the lining. The smaller RST logos are reflective for night visibility, but they are small and understated to keep in with the dark theme.

Comfort

A fixed quilted thermal liner keeps you warm and comfortable, and a fixed SinAqua lining keeps the rain out! Zip to attach to matching trousers prevents wind ingress, and the more extended rear prevents any wind coming up when it's not connected to trousers. Adjustability at the waist, arms and cuffs provide the perfect personalised fit for a truly comfortable ride.

Practicality

The most practical feature of the Rider Dark jacket is that it is waterproof thanks to a fixed SinAqua lining and can be worn in colder weather thanks to a fixed quilted thermal lining. Premium quality Max zips are used throughout, and this has a 360-degree zip to attach to trousers, arm adjusters and three inner and two outer pockets.

Negatives

One of the attractions of this jacket to many people will be a negative to others - especially those who are incredibly safety conscious and who ride at night a lot—the colour. Also, shorter jackets aren't for everyone, but you wouldn't be buying this one if you don't like short jackets!

Verdict

The RST Rider Dark CE jacket is a CE certified waterproof jacket that is adjustable, premium quality and like Henry Ford said, "Any customer can have a car painted any colour that he wants, so long as it is black." except its an RST jacket and it's not painted. Fantastic value for money, especially with the deal we have on offer! Available online and in our 30 stores nationwide - get yours while stocks last!
