Crafting the Perfect Motorbike Leathers

We understand that motorbike leathers are more than just gear: they’re your first line of defence on the road. Whatever type of rider you are, our range of motorcycle leathers are designed with one purpose: to keep you safe, comfortable, and confident.

Our gear doesn’t just meet CE certification standards—we push the boundaries of innovation, blending top-tier protection with cutting-edge materials and designs that allow you to ride without limits.

The Importance of CE Certification: Safety You Can Trust

When it comes to motorcycle gear, safety is non-negotiable. That’s why all of our products—from our motorbike jackets to our race suits—are fully CE certified, ensuring that each item meets rigorous European standards for protection against abrasion, impact, and tearing.

Different levels of CE certification cater to the needs of different riders:

Level 1: Found in our everyday riding gear, providing lightweight, flexible protection for commuters and casual riders.
Level 2: Incorporated into our more advanced products, including race suits, offering enhanced protection for high-speed, high-impact environments.

We design every piece with these certifications in mind, ensuring that no matter where your journey takes you, you're covered with safety you can trust.

Materials Matter: Building the Best Leathers

At RST Moto, the materials we choose are just as important as the designs we create. We source only the best for our gear, ensuring it’s both durable and comfortable.

Premium Leather: From full-grain cowhide to lightweight kangaroo leather, our leathers are selected for their durability and abrasion resistance. Kangaroo leather, for example, provides exceptional strength while being incredibly lightweight—ideal for our race suits where both speed and protection are paramount.
Textiles for Versatility: For our textile jackets and jeans, we use high-performance materials that balance protection and breathability. This makes them perfect for summer or urban commuting, offering versatility without compromising on safety.

We also cater to riders looking for sustainable alternatives, with a dedicated range of vegan motorcycle gear. These products offer the same level of CE-certified protection, crafted from high-strength synthetic materials.

Protection Meets Technology: What Makes RST Gear Different

We believe that protection and comfort should go hand-in-hand, which is why our gear is designed to move with you, not against you. But we don’t stop at traditional materials; we’re always pushing the envelope when it comes to technology in motorbike protection.

Airbag Technology: For ultimate safety, we’ve integrated airbag systems into select RST race suits and jackets. These systems provide an additional layer of protection by inflating upon impact, cushioning vital areas like the spine, chest, and shoulders in the event of a crash.
Armour Innovation: Every RST Moto jacket, suit, and glove is outfitted with CE-approved armour, precisely placed at key impact zones such as the elbows, shoulders, knees, and back. Our Level 2 armour provides heightened protection for high-speed riding scenarios.

Designing for Every Rider: From Urban to Track Ready

One of the key features that sets RST Moto apart is our ability to cater to all types of riders. We recognize that different environments call for different gear, and we offer specialised options for everything from urban commuting to track racing.

Urban Riders - For city dwellers who navigate traffic every day, our urban range strikes the perfect balance between style and protection. Lightweight, breathable jackets with discreet armour provide excellent protection while blending seamlessly with everyday wear.

Track Enthusiasts - For those who live for speed, our custom race suits are designed with performance in mind. Built from kangaroo leather and equipped with advanced sliders and armour, these suits offer a second-skin fit with maximum flexibility and protection. Whether you’re racing or pushing limits on track days, our race suits are made for the thrill.

Seasonal Adaptations - Seasonal riding can be unpredictable, which is why our spring-summer and autumn-winter collections are designed to withstand the elements. Our ventilated summer jackets are lightweight yet protective, ensuring airflow while keeping you safe. When the weather turns cooler, our winter gear features thermal linings and waterproof membranes to keep you dry and warm without sacrificing safety.

Custom Gear: Tailored to You

We believe that your gear should fit like a glove—literally. Our custom leathers service allows you to create a race suit tailored to your specific measurements, preferences, and riding style. Not only does this provide the ultimate in comfort, but it also ensures that you get the best possible protection in every scenario.

Our custom race suits are crafted with the highest attention to detail, incorporating CE Level 2 armour, airbag systems, and reinforced stitching to guarantee you’re protected, no matter how intense your ride.

Footwear for Every Adventure

Boots are an essential part of any rider’s gear. We know that motorcycle boots must offer the perfect combination of protection, comfort, and style.

Race Boots: Built for speed and protection, our race boots feature advanced ankle support and reinforced sliders to ensure you stay safe, even during high-speed slides.
Touring Boots: Designed for long-distance comfort, these boots offer waterproofing and breathable materials, perfect for changing conditions on extended rides.
Urban Boots: For city riders, our urban boots combine casual style with reinforced ankle protection, making them ideal for both riding and walking.

Confidence and Craftsmanship

We don’t just create gear—we craft experiences, providing the confidence and trust in our products to allow you to enjoy your ride. Whether you’re gearing up for a weekend ride, an urban commute, or a track day, you deserve equipment that’s reliable, comfortable, and stylish.

Our commitment to safety, premium materials, and innovative technology ensures that every rider is prepared for whatever the road—or the track—throws their way. With RST, you can focus on the ride ahead, knowing your gear has you covered.
