RST Ladies S1 Mesh Motorcycle Jacket
RST Ladies S1 Mesh Textile Jacket Feature: Comfort Meets Safety by @beastbobber
The ladies’ RST S-1* Textile jacket is targeted for the summer riders, designed to keep you cool in the rising temperatures yet still protected. We all know how easily the temptation is to shed layers and protective gear when the heat is soaring. We all love to ride in the summer glow but all this gear can get you incredibly hot, and it is easy to overheat. This jacket combats that notion and provides you with a cooler option to stay safe but cool.

This textile jacket has a cleverly designed mesh layer that means when you are riding, whether you are on or off the bike, the air flow outside passes through the jacket and circulates more freely to allow for a cooler experience on the road. There is a removal inner lining that is also water-resistant, meaning the jacket is also capable, should the British weather do its usual thing and throw showers at you or take a turn for the worse and shed a downpour. After all, we can only go so long with brilliant gorgeous weather in this country!
Rated a CE A, the jacket has level 1 shoulder and elbow armour for protection and there is a back pocket should you wish to want to add back armour as well. The jacket is waterproof on the whole enabling this to be used in all weathers should you so desire, but I would recommend layering for further warmth if so.
The main material is Maxtex and K540 mesh, with a fixed mesh lining and the previous mentioned removal sinaqua waterproof lining internally. There are clever little details on the jacket that give it its edge, with reflective detail down the front and along the arms. There are adjustable cuffs on the wrists and upper arms, as well as the hips, which are perfect for tailoring the jacket to your shape. There are two outer zip pockets and two internal pockets, all great sizes for your everyday carry items or accessories.
Overall, with the RST brand, you know you are getting high quality and this jacket meets expectations. Well fitted, comfortable and flexible in its uses – this jacket can do it all for the warmer temperatures and unpredictable rain showers.‘
