FAQs

Is this jacket waterproof?

No, the RST Roadster Air is designed for maximum airflow and does not feature a waterproof membrane.

Can I upgrade the back protector?

Yes, most RST jackets have a designated pocket for an optional back protector upgrade.

How do I know if this is the right size?

The jacket should fit snugly so the armour stays in place, but you should still have enough room to move your arms comfortably.

Is the leather real?

Yes, this jacket is constructed from high-quality leather chosen for its abrasion resistance.

Does it have a connection zip for trousers?

Yes, this jacket includes a standard connection zip compatible with many RST riding trousers.

Can I wear this in autumn?

Due to the perforation, you will likely find it too cold without an additional windproof layer underneath.

Troubleshooting

Armour feels out of place

Adjust the Velcro tabs inside the armour pockets to ensure the protectors are centered over your joints.

Jacket feels stiff

New leather often requires a break-in period. Apply a leather conditioner to soften the hide and wear it regularly.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To get the most out of your jacket, ensure you select the correct size by measuring your chest circumference accurately. Use the adjustable waist straps to tighten the jacket once worn to prevent excessive movement while at speed.

Care Instructions:

  1. Wipe the exterior leather down with a damp cloth after rides to remove bugs and road grime.
  2. Use a dedicated leather conditioner periodically to keep the material supple and prevent cracking.
  3. If the jacket gets soaked, allow it to air dry naturally away from direct heat sources like radiators, which can damage the leather.
  4. Ensure the D3O armour is correctly positioned in its pockets before every ride.
