Introduction
The RST Lumberjack Aramid Lined CE Shirt, this sample was in Green Check, is a striking offering from RST, a reputable manufacturer known for its high-quality motorcycle apparel in the UK. This shirt is classified under protective riding gear, intended for bikers (mainly aimed at modern classic and cruiser riders, I would say) seeking both style and functionality. With safety features integrated into a casual design, it aims to provide riders with an appealing option for both urban commuting and leisure rides.
Product Overview
The Lumberjack shirt boasts a classic check design that exudes a rugged aesthetic while also incorporating modern safety features. Constructed from a durable, high-quality fabric and lined with aramid, this shirt offers a blend of comfort and protection. Its CE certification ensures that it meets rigorous safety standards, making it a reliable choice for riders looking for protection without sacrificing style.
Appearance and Materials
This shirt features a bold green check pattern that stands out while retaining a timeless appeal. Whilst we tested the Green check it also comes in the following colours, Red (pictured overleaf), Grey and Blue/Grey Check as well as Plain Black. The exterior is crafted from a robust cotton blend that feels soft against the skin, while the aramid lining adds an extra layer of durability and protection. Unique design elements include reinforced stitching and subtle branding, which enhance its overall aesthetic without overpowering the classic lumberjack style.

User Experience
During my time using the RST Lumberjack Aramid Lined CE Shirt, I had the opportunity to wear it in various scenarios. During casual rides around town, the shirt provided a comfortable fit, allowing for easy movement without feeling restrictive. The aramid lining offered peace of mind, knowing I had an extra layer of protection. The shirt performed well in terms of breathability, keeping me cool during warmer days, while the long sleeves provided adequate coverage against the elements. On colder but dry days, it effectively retained warmth, making it a versatile option for changing weather conditions. Please note as standard with many RST jackets it does not come with a back protector but does have a pocket you will need to purchase separately, I didn’t purchase one as I wore an airbag shirt underneath.
