Finally invested in a new riding Jacket.

I decided on the RST IOM TT 3/4 length Waxed Cotton. It has 9 pockets, is light weight, zip out thermal liner, elbow and shoulder CE pads and facility for a back protector (not supplied). I think it looks good and in the spirit of my F6B. Is very comfortable and i like the idea of a metal YKK zip in front covered by a flap held in place by press studs.
have not tried it in the rain yet and may not for a while, forecast suggests no rain till middle of 2016 at the earliest.

Just some more stuff on it:

12oz Water Resistant Wax Cotton
Removable 75g Cotton Quilted Liner
Fixed Mesh Lining
Double & Triple Stitched Seams
Pockets For Optional Contour Protectors
CE Approved Elbow & Shoulder Protectors
Aktiv Impact Back Protector
Adjustable Waist
Heavy Duty Banded Nylon Thread

Cheers Chris
