I picked up a new 2pc for the street $360
http://www.rst-moto.com/index2.html

A bit too big in the pants, so may have to send back. Jacket is a bit roomy which is how I like my street gear, but I hate baggy trousers. With the elastic waist I can safely drink a few more cases of Newcastle, & that is not a good thing.

Leather is not even close to the thickness of my Vanson suit. The stitching is triple stitched & soft armor, but I wouldn't want to test it - confident for the street it would be fine, but at higher speeds would probably blow out.
I would say it's equal to the Joe Rocket stuff. No way does it even come close to Vanson, but about $1000 cheaperrrrr.

Nope, just a well defined beer belly


I would rate the RST leathers as low end stuff, but Ok for the street
another demerit for the lack of perf or venting, which would be good in a different climate then Vegas
