RST Race Dept - Cracking Service
Discussion
So I spent some time at the RST Race Dept in Mansfield this week as they had opened up a limited number of slots for non ACU licence holders to get access to the same kit and service as the race guys that they support.
What a great service and it went along these lines:
1. First you select Airbag or Non Airbag Suit
2. They have a number of 'try on' suits so you get cracking with one of those and find something that kind of works.
3. From there they are nipping, tucking, letting out and measuring to their hearts content to get the exact dimensions for your suit.
4. Once all the measuring is done they then sit you with a suit designer and take you through the myriad of options available to you in the design from colours to patterns to incorporating any logos you want and whether you want a suit with sew on badges or a screen printed, the latter is more expensive but also means you get a full kangaroo leather suit. As you can guess, i went with the latter ...... thanks Chloe for all the guidance and advice ...
Whilst I was there 2 Sam Lowes suits came in for repair, they were tiny, they will deffo need more kangaroos for my suit ..... their suits come with the In & Motion airbag tech all built in so no faffing and means I can dedicate my TechAir vest for road duties.
Overall really impressed so far and this is whats coming my way in 6-7 weeks just in time for a Jerez euro with No Limits

Looking forward to itSee you there Graeme... you'll find me easily enough lol.
There’s a good group of us going, so come and say hi
You won’t be able to miss us as my leathers are as the above pic, and my lads are like this
We’ll be easy to spot as he’ll be asleep in the garages between sessions or moaning about his bike, and I’ll be sweating my arse off sorting two bikes
So just to close the loop on this ...
Had the suit delivered a couple of weeks ahead of my trip to Brno, tried it on, all seemed well ...
Got to Brno and it was a revelation, really well made, well fitted and also made moving around on the bike far easier than my one piece Dainese suit, made me realise how ill fitting that suit was in some ways and also having all the protection built in means there's no friction in he suit as you move about in it .....
The attention to detail and the printing are excellent, I had it cut to work with my Dainese In Boots and its spot on and the whole suit looks just like the design that was signed off on ...
