Tried and tested by Dan Sutherland for six months and 5000 miles:

"If you’ve made it this far, it should be pretty clear that I like the RST TracTech Evo 5 jacket a lot. It’s comfortable, well-specced, and has kept me dry on multiple sodden motorway runs.

"That said, the harsh rain and flash flooding at the end of September did prove too much to cope with – leaking onto my clothes underneath after around 30 minutes. However, it’s also kept me warm in single digit temperatures and is bearable (if sweaty) in hot conditions.

"It’s been the ideal commuting companion, and I’ve ditched the leather jackets this year in favour of just wearing this at the weekends. Afterall, it offers all the same benefits, except I also know it’ll keep my dry if the rain arrives. What’s not to like?"

Tested by Carl Stevens for three years and 5000 miles:

"As a textile jacket that not only looks smart, but holds up impressively well too, the Andes V3 Drystar has delivered. It’s just happy keeping me as cool as possible off-road in 25 degrees, as it is fighting the elements in the British wintertime, with a fit and feel that is comfortable enough to wear all day.

"But the best part, is that it’s survived thousands of miles, tens of washes and still looks and feels as good as new."

Tested by Michael Neeves for nine months and 3000 miles:

"Adventure jackets are without doubt the most practical around and the Alpinestars Bogota Pro Dystar (and matching trousers) is one of the best I’ve used. It’s light, stylish, easy to wear and has lots of useful features, like good length sleeves and back, big pockets and strong, easy to use zips and fasteners.

"The jacket and trousers have a quality feel, are sturdily made and cool to wear in the heat thanks to its superb ventilation panels. Best of all are the extra two inner jackets included in the price.

"Used together they keep me warm and dry in the depths of winter, the waterproof layer can be used over any clothing and the thermal jacket can be worn on its own when you’re off the bike. For big riding trips on or off-road in all kinds of weather conditions this jacket has been the perfect companion."

Alpinestars Stella ST-7 Gore-Tex Jacket

Save 20%

Expert rating:

3.0

Price: £503.99 ( was £629.99)

Tried and tested by Emma Franklin for five months:

"The Alpinestars Stella ST-7 is great touring suit for spring and summer use. The vents are plentiful and well thought out, and the Gore-Tex 2L laminate does a faultless job at keeping rain at bay, no matter how heavy the weather. The suit is also well made, extremely comfortable in terms of its ergonomics, and looks great.

"However, it’s just not insulated enough to be a true all-season jacket for those of us in northern Europe. The thermal layer is pitifully thin – and even with an extra mid-layer, the jacket still seems to lose heat at a chilling rate of knots."
