I honestly don't know how you can even contemplate buying a jacket online without trying it on first, it's just gonna be a major kerfuffle!

As I wrote on another thread the sizes are all over the place, you could get lucky but then you could also spend any savings on postage getting the right one.Pop to J&S at Nottingham (not far from you) They gave me 10% off the full price so you don't have to be looking at their sale items.
I have the RST 16 leather jacket. It's not a bad jack for the price point but it's nothing special either. The perforated chest keeps you quite cool (so not much cop in the cold) and it seems well put together. Sizing can be a little off though. I've got a 47inch chest and bought the size 48 but I would have easily gotten away with a 46. There no adjustment other than at the waist and even there it's only an inch or 2 per side. But all in all its not a bad jacket although I'm sure there are nicer ones out there. I only bought it as the website I got it from had it listed at the wrong price so I only paid £80 for it brand new!!

Makes it a nightmare trying to order online.I think that £80 should of had a 1 in front of it. As well as airflo I am looking for a high vis element and I am liking lots of white the RST would be the Flo Green version. I am now looking at the Revit Galatic in white and black which comes with a very thin wind proof inner liner which would be good for chilly mornunf starts which would store under the seat when it warms up.
