the most humane thing to do would be to hold it down in a body of water until the bubbles stop

My RST Pro jacket fell apart after just 8 months !! took it back to dealer and got a replacement which I was told was NOT covered by any warranty as it was a replacement; wtf ? less than a year later the seam came apart at the shoulder. Should stand for Really Shit Textiles.

Much as i've never bothered to use this function, i'm going to have to make ONE exception, he really does bring less than nothing to the table.

Was with someone who tore an RST textile jacket in the shop! They seem to be a bit hit or miss.

That's the big problem with sweatshop outsourcing, random QA. If you could rely on a brand being bad, you could safely avoid it.

In mitigation, my RST Enduro horror-orange jacket is over 6 1/2 years old and still going strong. The water repellent layer isn't perfect any more, but it's still good enough most days. I guess mine was made near the start of a 16 hour shift.

However, I expect it to shred like a lettuce when I finally put its abrasion resistance to the test.

Can't find a way to contact RST on their website, it says first port of call should be the dealer you purchased the product from. *Groan* as they're not the best of shops. In the meantime I left a comment on their SlutBook page.

Any RST dealer should be able to help.

The contact you are looking for is Moto Direct on 01773 864420. Its their own brand that they manufacture and distribute.

I don't think you will get very far though, if you've had the garment for over two years but nothing ventured, nothing gained.

My Frank Thomas jacket went in a similar way. Got another couple of years out of it by sewing with fishing line and liberal application of superglue.

Ive had 3 RST jackets 1 new two used like new and they all came apart at the seams like that, around pockets and cuffs. My Weise jackets have been half the price in discontinued sales but have yet too come apart. RST jackets in my experience are crap build quality on the stitching but they are pretty water resistant in light rain, there pants are better but they can leak quickly ( a few months).

Well I've social media'erd them with accounts I do have. Unfortunately I'm not a big user of social media. Not expecting a freebie of course but it would be interesting to see their response, if any.

Interesting how many others have had problems with RST jackets. Oh well, I'm busy searching for another jacket now !
