With the popularity of Modern Classic and naked motorcycles non-leather items are quite on trend these days and RST has several such offerings.
In no particular order lets starts with the Sherpa Denim CE Mens textile shirt or Sherpa Jacket (its listed as a shirt however its a denim jacket more than a shirt), it provides a good middle ground for someone moving away from pure leather motorcycle gear. The jacket may not be as thick and sturdy as leather or waterproof, but it is significantly more suited for slightly warmer days which we are experiencing for the most part. Also, the denim texture combined with the Sherpa fleece on the inside provides a cushy feeling while insulating from the weather and wind. As with any other sensible rider, I was concerned with the level of safety a denim jacket was going to provide as motorcycle gear. Thankfully, my concerns went away once I came to know that the shoulder, back* and elbow all have armor that is AA certified. But the greatest bit for me with this denim jacket is the sort of retro vibe that it exudes as opposed to more traditional nondescript black leather jacket. * This item doesn’t come with back armour as standard but like me you can purchase this easily elsewhere as reasonable price.

While we were on the lookout for something non-traditional, we shall move onto to the RST’s Zip-Through Logo Hoodie. Hoodies too are gaining popularity, the RST hoodie features a minimalist design and at the same time it is quite breathable thanks to the single-layer Kevlar fabric used all around. As with any other RST gear, ample protection* is provided on critical areas so you can don this hoodie without any fear of your safety. Available in a zipped and a non-zipped version, the RST men’s textile hoodie would make for a great casual protective gear for your torso. Easily worn on the bike and off, if you store your bike away for the winter this hoodie would make for great addition to your autumn, winter, spring and summer wardrobe as well (if you remove the armour). *This item doesn’t come with back armour but like me you can purchase this easily elsewhere as reasonable price.

No matter how long you have been using a full leather gear, its appeal and the overall sense of security never fade away. We now move back to move traditional leather gear and feature the RST Roadster 3 Mens Leather Jacket offers a good combination of style and safety for those who are in love with leather. The aniline leather used provides a premium look and hugs the body well. Just like the hoodie, the Roadster 3 motorcycle leather jacket also features a minimalist approach toward design while incorporating vital elements for comfort and convenience. Safety is another area where this jacket excels. Protection from abrasions is rather obvious, but the certified armor* on selected areas minimizes the chances of fractures. This jacket has a cafe racer style jacket vibe to it and I love the look and feel to it. *This item doesn’t come with back armour but like me you can purchase this easily elsewhere as reasonable price.

Last but not least on the list are Atlas Mid waterproof men’s boots. As the name suggests, these are not full-length boots, so they sit above the ankles. Since these boots belong to rather the same family as the Roadster leather jacket and the Tour1 leather jean, therefore, they also exhibit a basic yet practical design philosophy. Critical areas are covered by reinforcements and certified leather, but the outer lining is primarily composed of sturdy nylon. All these characteristics combined make for a motorcycle boot that is not only comfortable to wear on long hauls but is also resistant to water penetration.
