Hey guys

It's been a while since my last big purchase of bike gear (AGV Leathers) back in the day when I had my TLR.

The zips and stuff are starting to perish and It's about time I'm due for a new set. I've been looking at the Tractech RST 2 peice suit.

Anyone had any experience with RST gear? It seems well priced, wondering if theres any quality issues?

The issue of quality is directly proportional to the issue of price.

Im not sure if you are asking about their intended usage or how they wear in the day to day stuff . .

I have an RST two piece (unsure of the model no ) and over the past couple of years has shown no sign of anything major . . . Was a bit stiff to start with, but quickly moulded and is now very comfortable . .if not a little snug from too many coffees and pies Oh, I forgot . . the zips for the top and bottom didnt quite match and had to send it down to their Melbourne office for a quick change and was done in days and without fuss.

Havnt crashed in 17yrs so cant comment on its intended use. (touch wood)

Would I buy em again? . .. Definately.

I have crashed 3 times in my RST's they did need a bit of patching up with he last one but I would buy another set.... = value for the $

The RST's are probably fine. I looked at them when I bought new leathers last year. But, the shop offered me a deal on the Astars which was close enough to make the price value equation. Glad I did, it's nice gear.

i have RST Rift jacket & pants. Very comfortable & good value for money
I would but them again.
Cheers

Collins FTW ..... but they are top dollar

i have rst and have no dramas either except the zips dont match up to allow me to join jacket and pants

Well tested as hire gear at PI and EC ride days. They're no Alpinestars but pretty good value for money I reckon.
