RST Leather Race Suit - Rider Review

[@sjk8273]

Their gear is available here in the US from Sportbike Track Gear. Overall, it represents a great value alternative to the other more expensive named brands. I purchased the same trousers last year and my matching jacket is out for delivery. So far, I'm very impressed with the quality and no complaints whatsoever.

[@mattpeters5076]

Great review. I am normally a 32 inch waist and the trousers were really baggy so went with a 30 and fits nice the legs are above the ankles and look short but boots will cover this.

[@yodomcat]

I prefer the short fit (well above ankle) as then the boot doesn’t push against the zip when riding 👍🏻

[@kirkdunn1379]

RST makes quality stuff.....as good as anyone else, maybe not as many models but what they do make is solid....and i ride in USA.......i have a slim build so A stars fits me well and get decent prices from europe on their gear.....lil more but not crazy....have RST boots and they are so comfortable.......actually prefer to run a brand non popular and check out sportbike track gear......he breaks down all the RST gear and compares it to A stars....he runs a race team an knows his shit.....he loves RST and imports it to US

Brilliant UK video thank you as just ordered both for £332 😁

[@garethwright8889]

Where from?

[@tumolucky17]

I’m looking for a 2 piece , can’t believe the price of most , but these do look good value

[@yodomcat]

Average 2 piece will be from £800 so this is tremendous value and better safety rating than most!

Nice review. I did not catch pant size? Regular length? Zip is 180 or 360? This is not rase suit but sport touring one. There is no hump and elbow slider. I have (two) Revit Glide as well.

[@yodomcat]

You can track in it, but yes no elbow sliders or hump. The zip is a 360 and there is a short connecter also 👍🏻

[@pbalna]

Great review. Thank you! What is your experience in 20+ degree celsius? How is the ventilation? Thanks Balint

[@yodomcat]

It’s hot! Not a lot of ventilation. You can do 25°C but you’ll need a cooling base layer or your never get out of it! 😂 if you check my channel there is a video on a aStars and Rev’IT full leather summer option 👍🏻

[@pbalna]

@@yodomcat Thanks a lot for the reply! I check aStars and Revit!

[@balmoralpjk]

Nice! Do you wear any Levi’s jeans with your leather biker jackets??

[@yodomcat]

Just replied on your other comment, only AA riding jeans for me. Check out Rokker for Levi’s style and Rev’IT Lombard. Also diesel have a limited range with Alpinestars but that’s only A rated which is a shame.

[@taylorpreston8502]

I bought the jeans and they are a bit loose on the waist, do you think that would be a problem. Also they slide around a lot when on the bike, do you have any ideas how to stop that.

[@yodomcat]

With leathers (I learnt the hard way) you want them uncomfortably tight, not quite a size smaller but half a size. This is because they will give and stretch. That said if the fit is good on the legs and bad on the waist you can resolve this with braces and the leg tightness will keep them up. Also when you zip the top to the bottom that will also keep them up. When you say slide around the bike you mean yourself being more slippy? This is normal, and take a little getting use to (as you need to lock in better). Firstly check your not cleaning your seat with any product as that can make things slippy. Then tank grips work soooooooo much better with leather and keeps you locked in. Your bum is meant to slide to a degree so you can move off the seat. Hope that helps 👍🏻

[@taylorpreston8502]

@@yodomcat ah ok, they are loose on the waist but tight on the legs, ill definitely buy a tank gripper , thank you.

[@purdyman]

great video sir, Just bought another motorcycle and am looking now for a two piece suit. Found your video quite helpful. Wondering about Armour rating on it? Any ideas on the CE certification? Regardless as you say - very good entry pricing - well done!

[@yodomcat]

Thanks! Glad it helped 👍🏻 The armour is CE1 and not expensive to take to CE2; but on the armour front I’m not convinced it’s worth the extra thickness for street riding.

[@snappycattimesten]

1:39 leg 12 cm? Funny 😆

[@yodomcat]

mmm dunno what happened there!! 😂 It should of been 81cm so who knows where 12 came from?!

[@egghed1000]

Just about to order the pair but I'm normally a 32 waist so shall I go 30 instead as mixed reviews online lol

[@yodomcat]

They are smaller

[@egghed1000]

@@yodomcat they are smaller as I'd need a 30 instead of 32 ? Think you said your a 34 but got a 32 so a size smaller then normal?

[@yodomcat]

@@egghed1000 they are not a whole size smaller, probably a half size smaller.

[@goodnighthok]

what's size of boots did you get? great review btw!

[@yodomcat]

Thanks! 🙏🏻 I wear 9.5(uk) in trainers and usually 10’s in normal boots and the RST’s are uk10 eu44. I’ve done a more in-depth review on just the boots in the channel also 👍🏻

[@goodnighthok]

@@yodomcat thanks for responding man. helps a lot with the sizing since I'm planning to buy. will check your boot review out thanks!

[@WesPorter7]

What size boots did you get?

[@yodomcat]

44 / UK 10

[@garethwright8889]

Random but what t shirt are you wearing?

[@yodomcat]

It’s a Rukka base layer 👍🏻

[@IlIlIlllIlIlIllli]

I have a rev it jacket could it zip to those trousers?

[@yodomcat]

If your jacket has the full long zip (goes all the way round the side) then it will. 👍🏻

[@IlIlIlllIlIlIllli]

For anyone sliding through and might want the answer My rev it air wave 3 couldn’t zip up to the sabre pants because the zips are different sizes

[@yodomcat]

@@IlIlIlllIlIlIllli so sorry mate I misread and in my head thought this was my revit review. So revit zip to revit zip. They do say no brands zips work together, but I always thought that was a fallacy - guess they’re right!
