The core values that have made RST the UK’s fastest growing and best-selling motorcycle brand have been applied to the RST cycle clothing collection.
Just like the motor cycle collection RST cycle clothing has to be the highest performance, best fitting and offer the best possible value. RST designer Chris Walker is an former professional cyclist (he won the Milk race Tour of Britain in 1991), sales director Johnny Towers was an elite racing cyclist and Cycle Division manager Gareth Hewitt was an elite cyclist based in Italy, so you can imagine the small development team knows what is required to take RST cycle apparel to the same level as our Moto clothing range.
The RST cycle collection has been in development for the last 18 months and has been expanding ever since, using the highest quality Italian MITTI fabrics.
As well as producing our own stylish RST ranges we also produce custom club/team clothing. We have a growing portfolio of custom clothing customers which started with the Out of the saddle cycling club, founded by the successful cycling duo Russ and Dean Downing. Below is a look at a range of garments from RST’s Cycle Division clothing range.
RST Combi thermal winter jacket
As we know, being cold on a winter training ride makes the ride seem to go on for much longer than it should. That’s where the Combi thermal jacket can help you cope through the winter months.
Features of this jacket include the front panel (chest and sleeve) being made from a wind and water proof, yet breathable membrane. The rear of the jacket uses a thermo cube borgini back panel for sufficient breathability. The jacket also has 3 rear pockets with 1 zip for your valuables.
RST Combi light long sleeve thermal jersey
The Combi light is a Lightweight space-saving jacket, with just as much wind stopping benefit as the Combi Thermal, ideal for cold weather without the bulk of a full windproof jacket featuring 3 rear pockets 1 zipped.
The materials used for the combi light jacket is a Thermo cube borgini brushed polyester to rear, with a technical atom wind/showerproof material across chest, collar and arms to the front.
The parameters of the membrane – water column min 10,000 mm, breathability min 15,000 g/m2/24hod.
