The RST Tractech series has become a motorcycle clothing staple, delivering incredible protection and comfort at an incredible price for both road riders and track day enthusiasts. Now returning in its fifth incarnation, the RST Tractech Evo 5 Leather Jacket builds upon the Tractech legacy, utilising RST’s expansive knowledge of motorcycle racing to bring you the very best in protection and comfort on every ride.

Sharing a great many features with the RST Tractech Evo 5 One Piece Leather Suit, this RST leather jacket utilises a premium drum dyed cowhide leather construction with a 1.1 – 1.3mm thickness, the same leather material shared with RST’s highest specification racing leathers. Offering an unparalleled level of abrasion resistance, this premium leather outer construction is triple stitched with a bonded nylon thread for maximum strength, ensuring that the seams of the suit won’t open or burst when subjected to intense abrasion typical of that which you would experience in a slide across the tarmac on a track day.

As a commitment to your safety, the RST Tractech Evo 5 Leather Jacket features an upgraded level of protection over the previous editions of the Tractech Evo. For the first time in the Tractech series, this leather motorcycle jacket features a full suite of CE Level 2 armour as standard, meaning you’ll find CE Approved Level 2 armour padding at the back, shoulders and elbows as standard, offering the very best in impact protection. These dedicated armour pieces are designed to help dissipate impact energy away from these areas, limiting the damage done to the areas beneath, protecting bones, internal organs and more. As another first for the RST Tractech Evo series, you’ll also find a pocket for adding a CE approved chest protector to the jacket, allowing you to upgrade your protection even further should you choose to.

In addition to the CE approved armour, the RST Tractech Evo 5 Jacket features TPU shoulder cups, which offer a lower friction point to help the rider slide across the tarmac. As another unique feature of the Tractech Evo 5, you’ll find rectangular soft density padding areas at the bicep, included to help reduce the impact energy transferring to this area in the event of an accident, whether on the road on a sunny Sunday or tackling the tight turns on a track day.

Whether you’re riding your bike for a day on the roads or kitted up for a track day, you’re going to be wearing your leather jacket for a considerable amount of time. RST listen to their Race Department rider’s feedback and feedback from the public and have worked hard to maximise the comfort of the new RST Tractech Evo 5 jacket, without taking away from the Track Fit sports riding profile for which the Tractech series is so well known. A redesigned shape of the jacket offers a greater level of comfort for a wider range of riders while the collar area offers even greater comfort at the neck when riding in a tucked position. You’ll also find an increase in the amount of four way stretch materials and accordion leather stretch panelling on the Tractech Evo 5 Leather Jacket, ensuring that the hardwearing leather outer construction doesn’t interfere with the natural range of movement of the rider. Further comforts come in the form a neoprene race collar which maximises comfort by minimising irritation at a sensitive area.

Beneath the hardwearing leather outer construction of this leather jacket, you’ll find a fixed quick drying mesh interior lining which helps to separate your skin from the leather. This makes the Tractech Evo 5 Jacket a welcoming place to spend the day in, whether on the road or on a track day. You’ll also find a middle-weight thermal gilet, included to provide an additional layer of insulation when riding in cooler temperatures. This thermal gilet is easily removable when the weather is warmer, allowing the rider to make the most of the perforated panel ventilation at the chest area and upper back, driving cool air into the jacket and allowing warmer air to escape from the rear.

As with a great many RST jackets, the RST Tractech 5 Jacket features a 360° connection zipper at the waist, allowing the rider to create a perfect two-piece motorcycle leathers set by joining the jacket to a compatible pair of RST trousers. A race hump found at the rear of the suit ensures that air is perfectly directed down your back when riding in a tucked position, making the rider as aerodynamic as possible when it counts the most.

Available in four colours and in a wide size range, you’re sure to find an RST Tractech Evo 5 Leather Jacket to suit you.
