Great review, but if you have to put an overcoat on to make the jacket waterproof, i may a well do that with my old Halvarssons jacket which isn’t fully waterproof anymore. The jacket does look good tho
A lot of thought has gone into the jacket i could never understand the sizing adjustment strsp closing the arm zip... I like the unzipping and folding in the chest pocket to reveal a mesh like ventilation
Apologies! Sorted in the description now, and you can find them here... www.sportsbikeshop.co.uk/articles/reviews/rst-pro-series-ranger-textile-jacket-review www.sportsbikeshop.co.uk/articles/reviews/rst-pro-series-ranger-textile-trousers-review Cheers, Tony
Looks impressive. The fact the presenter is so impatient in regard to stopping and putting on the rain outer and therefore didn't wear the gear for his trip is shit in my view as he wouldn't test the gear properly before doing this review and relied on an independent reviewer for adding credibility. He has zero credibility as far as I am concerned.
Any airbag will work, but RST use the In&motion system when integrating into their jackets so I would be more confident it would work with an In&motion system. You can choose vests from Klim, Held, Ixon or Furygan, or RST have an armoured mesh under-jacket that has an In&motion airbag integrated.

I've owned the Icon In&Motion vest for a while. When sizing the Ranger jacket, should you consider your chest size with the vest fitted or do the stretch panels accommodate it normally? I have an alpine stars jacket which is a little uncomfortable when riding with the airbag underneath.@@sportsbikeshop
I'd suggest fitting with the airbag underneath. It has enough stretch to cope with inflation, but you'll want to be comfortable with the vest underneath. Sizing is generous, so you may not need to go up a size to accommodate the vest.
Fantastic Description and the fact that you have a long term rider for extra in depth report is Brilliant! As you can’t be expected to do everything 👍
excellent review

Looks really good jacket and trousers 👍
I had a Weise jacket that featured large mesh ventilation pockets just like that.
Nice honest review. Well done

Is there any chance you can post a link to that written review you spoke of?

Thanks. Are you going to stock camo or sand colour versions of these?
Camo coming very soon I'm told, and sand later in the year. Cheers, Tony

Would the jacket be waterproof/shower proof alone?
No, it wouldn't. It relies on the waterproof jacket for this. Cheers, Tony
What rider airbag system would you recommend with this jacket? Thanks.
