RST Alpha 2 Touring Motorcycle Jacket (Black) - $99 Shipped from Peter Stevens Motorcycles

Hi guys,

I was looking for a textile entry level Motorbike jacket and this seems to be the best bang for buck I could find. It is an older model (I think they are up to Alpha 4 now) but it is still a good basic jacket with CE armor included. Was originally going to get the Aldi textile one but this is cheaper, basically has the same features and is from a known brand.

From the webpage, here are the features / description:

RST Alpha 2 Touring Jacket

The entry level longer cut street waterproof jacket, great features for a great price

The RST Alpha 2 has proved again that you can have a great all rounder waterproof jacket for a great price.
They have designed this jacket to keep it simple with no frills to keep price down but still able to offer excellent protection and a breathable waterproof Sinaqua liner.
It features CE approved RST Contour Plus in the elbow and shoulder, highly reflective panels for night time riding, ample pocket storage and micro adjusters on the arms and waist to ensure a secure perfect fit.

There's a few reviews online, mostly from other online stores such as:

https://www.sportsbikeshop.co.uk/motorcycle_parts/content_re…

Most people seem pretty happy with it.

There's a few sizes in stock- Small and Medium which will fit a lot of people, but then it jumps to 5XL, 7XL and 9XL. For sizing, check out the RST link here:

I wear a 38 in business shirts, and I ordered a small in this jacket which is a perfect fit for me.

Happy riding :-)

EDIT: Small appears to be sold out, other listed sizes still in stock at time of writing.

EDIT 2: Medium sold out, 5XL, 7XL, and 9XL still stocked.

EDIT 3: Just 5XL left now, I'm going to mark this as expired but might be worth checking just in case if you are interested.
