RST Paragon or Adventure set? (Jacket/Jeans)

I'm looking for a bit of advice on which set would be the better choice out of the two or if anyone has any other recommendations?

One thing that puts me of the Paragon is that I've got no idea if it will be too uncomfortable to wear during the hot summer days? I've been stuck mauling over which one to go for and which would be better suited to year round use as I'll be wearing them on my way to & from work.

Anyway I would appreciate it if anyone could share their opinions or reviews of either of them. Thanks.

Set one if you can pull it off, and are you a spunk spammer ?

Not a spammer mate just looking for advice, what gave you that impression?
Was looking at going for black for the Adventure rather than sandy colour.

A year ago when I started biking I was looking at an RST jacket similar to those in the OP, can't remember what it's name was though. I really liked it, it looked a lot better wearing it than images on the internet.

Your best bet would be trying them both on and seeing which one you like best. I didn't end up buying the above, instead I went for the sportier RST textile Razor jacket. The reason being I'm a fair weather rider and I don't commute so a full on 'adventure' jacket would be a bit odd. I was so happy with the jacket I bought an RST leather Slice jacket a few months ago for the summer. I love that jacket just as much.

I'm a bit of an RST fanboy but chances are whichever one you buy, you wont be disappointed.

I've just got myself some RST Leathers. Very happy with them. Was looking at the textiles in the shop yesterday, look fairly decent, I'd probably go for the white set out of the two you posted.

Ooh,I like the adventure set!
I can see the next set of textiles for me already!

Seeing as I only bought my first ever set on Saturday, I guess that's bad Wink

Mmm. My RST Eduro is sold as "fully waterproof". Tell that to my elbows. OK, it's got a different magic lining, but fool me once...
