My top tip to anyone getting into biking is a waterproof wind proof cycling jacket over the top of your leather jacket will stop the windchill almost completely and stop 100% of rain in my experience for £40 tops! Can even go hivis or stealth. Plus I don’t trust textiles in crashes as armour moves no matter how well fitting the textile jacket is
Indeed. Armour movement is a significant problem for most textile clothing-particularly knee and elbow protectors rotating out of place just when you need them.
I have the Alpinestars Andes V3 Drystar and I quite like it. Not experienced it in the rain but it was comfortable on a warm and sunny day to Wales and back
All sound very good for the price
I have the Alpinestars Andes V3, I've had it a few months and use it daily commuting to work etc I've been in the worst rain and wind an below zero degrees, it is fantastic, the best I've ever owned, comfortable, warm, and "totally" waterproof ! I'll never by anything else but Alpinestars from now onwards. I Used to buy RST, nothing but a letdown, never owned a single RST garment that didn't leak, waste of money !
Agree with your opinion on RST. Also, the vent zips have failed and the "velcro" on the cuffs just doesn't work. Very disappointing.
I have an earlier version of the Andes, it is a good quality product. No issues with water leakage, however I wouldn’t say it was the warmest jacket on cold winter days. I tend to find there is a draft coming in , that lets it’s down in the cold weather.
