New jacket - Adrian6171 - 16-04-14
O.K i,ve got about £130 to spend,the front runner for me is the RST Blade which comes with a good back protector and seems like a dual purpose (fit for warm summer riding and winter riding) do you guys know of anything better than this for the same amount.Must be able to do the cold winter months and be a sports looking style,also cool in the main summer months.[/size]Regards Ady

tbh i'd wait , if you can for the BMF its getting hard each year but there are bargins still to be had , but its still a fair wait
Re: New jacket - ajmes1 - 16-04-14
I'd +1 for bmf, you will almost certainly make the £20 ticket fee back and loads of options.

I was looking for a new jacket at the BMF last year (as it's only a couple of miles down the road for me) and RST jackets were about all I could find there. Wasn't that impressed to be honest as they all seemed to have a plastic lining which I thought could get a bit sweaty. Ended up buying a Richa Hatchet from Sportsbikeshop.co.uk. The only thing I found was that the sizes are a bit small and had to send the first one back and get a larger size.

Just had a look at this http://www.rst-store.com/buy-rst-online/rst-textile-jackets/rst-ventilator-jacket/rst-ventilator-iv-black-textile-jacket.html a little over my price but seems to do all the 4 seasons pretty well by all accounts.[size=2.6666em][/size]
