The RST R14 jacket is a sports styled motorcycle jacket targeted at riders seeking a combination of style and comfort.
Take a look at the RST R14 Jacket.
Intensive product development and constant innovation has frequently landed RST at the pinnacle of the motorcycle clothing industry. High quality products targeted at the demanding 21st century rider have scored RST a committed following.
A new entrant to the high profile, 2014 RST collection is the RST R14 leather jacket. RST have pulled together the core benefits of both their street and sport jackets to produce a leather jacket that’s comfortable over longer journeys, whilst maintaining an overall sports design – ensuring that whatever positions you put your bike it, you’ll be comfortable!
The RST R14 is a bold looking sports jacket, and has been manufactured using full grain cow hide leather which offers soft, suppleness for comfort, whilst retaining first-rate abrasion and tear resistance properties. Large perforated block panelling to the front of the jacket allows air to be taken in, which in warmer (leather-wearing) weather, ensures that the rider is kept as cool as possible. This heated air is then deposited back out of the jacket through the rear ‘exhaust vent’ perforations.
Naturally, comfort is high on the list of RST’s priorities when developing motorcycle clothing. These priorities have certainly been met with the RST R14 jacket. Stretch panelling is found from the underarm down to the cuff. This panelling allows a snug, close fitting leather jacket, which remains comfortable to move in, even when adopting the riding position. Accordion stretch zones at the back of the shoulder further compliment the duties of the stretch panelling, allowing the rider a good range of movement on any style of motorcycle without compromising on abrasion protection in this classic abrasion zone.
In the event of an impact, motorcycle clothing must have ample strength at the seams to protect the rider in the event of an accident. For additional protection and maximum burst resistance, all of the seams on the RST R14 jacket are triple and double stitched using super strong bonded nylon.
RST have got your back when it comes to impact protection. RST only use CE approved armour in their motorcycle clothing, meaning that you, the rider has optimum protection against impact injuries. The RST R14 leather jacket has CE approved armour fitted to the shoulders and elbows, with an optional pocket to introduce a CE approved back protector at a later stage, if desired.
The RST R14 jacket can be zipped to any other leather or textile jeans in the RST range, making multiple ‘pairing up’ options. Wear the RST R-14 jacket with the matching RST R14 Trousers.
RST R14 trousers for the complete matching set-up, or alternatively you could choose to pair up with a pair of textile or Kevlar pants, if you prefer.
So, to summarise, the RST R14 jacket is absolutely ideal for the rider who holds comfort as a priority, whilst shopping for a sporty looking, full leather motorcycle jacket. The specification of this jacket might lead you to believe the price will be off-putting, yet at £169.99, the RST R14 leather jacket falls into most budgets.
