Hi,

Im in need of a new textile jacket for arond £150.
I commute all year round so wind and water proof is needed, 3/4 length if possible.

Anyone know if the RST Paragon is any good?

I wouldn't be without my alpinestars t-dyno but think it may be too short for you. It does keep me warm and dry though Thumbs Up

You can cut 2 thirds off the price and get something decent. I just bought an RSR Venom Black Jacket.

I got mine in black and white; it's waterproof, has a thermal underjacket that can be removed, a zip at the bottom to zip onto bottoms so that when you lean forward on your bike there's no gust going up your jacket, and it's cheap at only £54.99!

Hope that's useful Smile

The Barbour International wax cotton jacket is a great jacket, about £200 though. Similar to the old Belstaff with the retro look.

Not to everyones taste, not very stylish, they are warm.

i got me a Rev IT

GT PRO

The GT PRO sport jacket combines the functionality and performance of textile with the close adherent fit normally only found in leather jackets. Constructed from heavy Polyamide and Faller, combined with leather, the GT Pro features the same stylistic elements as the GT CORSE leather jacket. A detachable thermal lining and breathable waterproof membrane enhance the versatility of this jacket that will appeal to the sport bike rider who wants to be prepared for changing weather conditions.

Well comfy!

Well pleased with my Hein Gericke Craig 2 jacket (see above link).

It's weathered several downpours without leaking a drop - even in torrential rain.
