RST Adventure III

Expect to pay £289.99 www.rst-moto.com

The popular Adventure III jacket has received an upgrade for 2017 as rider feedback helps to hone the jacket ever closer to perfection. The latest version has external shoulder protectors and an improved ‘parachute strap’ (which fastens under the crotch to stop the jacket riding up) as well as fine-tuned improvements to the overall fit. It still features multiple adjustable vented panels, a removable thermal lining and a separate, removable waterproof lining. It’s made from abrasionresistant Cordura material and has Level 2 Ce-approved armour at the shoulders and elbows, as well as a back protector. There’s a zip to attach it to matching trousers, a fixed mesh lining, and reflective piping for increased visibility, as well as a plethora of external and internal pockets, a removable thermal lining and a pocket on the back for a hydration pack. It’s also adjustable at the waist and arms so you can achieve a snug fit and keep the armour in place.
