jimsoon Posted July 22, 2008 Share Posted July 22, 2008 i have an RST rift jacket, it cost me £100, has a removable winter lining, shoulder and elbow protection with optional back protector. its comfy and if you get the pants too they zip together. if you dont get the pants it comes with the other side of the zip, so that you can sew it to any pants you want.

pumilio Posted July 22, 2008 Share Posted July 22, 2008 I have the same Spada that Techno posted - got it from Hunt's Honda in Manchester and I rate it highly, especially for the money. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pumilio Posted July 22, 2008 Share Posted July 22, 2008 PS, the jacket has back, shoulder and elbow CE armour. PLus a very warm zip-out thermal liner. The back armour is soft but can be replaced with a rigid back protector as an option. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
