Lightweight Protection, Casual Trackside Style

The RST Team Zip Through Hoody is a technical riding garment designed for riders who demand casual aesthetics without compromising on-road safety. Part of the 2024 collection, this hoodie utilises a newly developed high-tenacity fabric blend to provide a lightweight and high-strength outer layer. By combining cotton, nylon, and polyester, RST has created an abrasion-resistant chassis that offers genuine protection in a low-profile silhouette.

Key Features

• High-Tenacity Outer: A specialised blend of cotton, nylon, and polyester engineered for superior abrasion resistance and durability.
• RST Airflow Armour: Equipped with the latest lightweight Level 1 CE-certified protectors at the shoulders and elbows for impact energy absorption.
• Aramid Fibre Reinforcement: Strategic use of aramid fibres in Zone 1 high-impact areas to enhance tear and abrasion resistance where it is needed most.
• Thumb Loops: Integrated loops at the cuffs to ensure sleeves remain securely in place while riding and prevent wind ingress.
• Secure Storage: Two external zipped pockets provide safe storage for personal essentials during transit.
• Adjustable Hood: Classic drawstring hood design allows for a personalised fit and casual look off the bike.
• Holographic Branding: Features distinct holographic logos that provide a modern aesthetic for the RST factory-supported look.

Advanced Materials and Construction

The core of the RST Team Zip Through Hoody is its innovative material composition, which reduces the need for heavy internal linings. By optimising the outer shell's strength, the garment remains breathable and flexible, making it ideal for multi-season use. The interior is finished with a smooth 100% polyester lining to ensure comfort against the skin and easy layering over other garments.
