What jacket do you wear

I use RST “Blade” leathers in summer with the liner removed from the jacket. It's OK in all but the very hottest conditions.

For the winter I used RST something or other textiles. With the liners in they're warm enough for pretty much anything, although the trousers aren't waterproof so I tend to throw a cheap rain suit over the top in wet weather.

I'm not a massive RST fan to be honest, they're a bit cheap 'n cheerful but they do the long leg fitting that I need.

I have an IXS jacket/trouser combo which is waterproof and reasonably good quality; I got some Roadskin jeans and bought one of the RST connector belts and sewed the zip into my IXS jacket so I can wear it with it, but it never feels as well matched as the proper trousers because the zip location is inherently higher on a belt connection than where it sits on the textile trousers.

Leather jacket year round, if too hot ride faster. I will wear jeans or cargos if its really hot. I should get some kevlar lined versions. I have a larger jacket and bottoms for winter, fits decent thick jumper and joggers underneath to keep warm.

The 3 jackets I use all same brand, model, and batch number and I will get a 4th if I see one. They are excellent quality and dont leak in heavy rain. The oldest is two years and plenty of life left
I had 3 alpinestars jackets before these and they all leaked small amounts and the zips wore out quite fast, an A* jacket only lasts a year or so for commuting, not great.

The Weise Psycho 2 jacket that SBS used to sell by the shedload. Bought it as it was cheap with the intention to get something nicer later on, but 2 years later it is still in good nick despite use in all weathers.

I’d like an upgrade but other than being a tart I can’t see what I will gain from something three times the price I paid for this one.

I've used a REV'IT Eclipse for about a year now. It's about as good as you're going to get as far as letting in air and still giving some protection. It has elbow and shoulder level 1 protection as standard, i added a level 2 back protector.
Don't get me wrong, a jacket is a jacket and will always be warm - but it's a LOT cooler than leather.
