"This windproof jacket from Ride Iron looks casual, but don’t be fooled — it’s well-made with durable fabric. It’s windproof, waterproof, and did a solid job keeping me warm when tested in cold, windy conditions. The CE Level 2 protectors are a nice touch, though the back protector is just foam, not CE-approved. The jacket doesn’t have an official abrasion certification, but after testing with sandpaper, it held up better than regular denim, so it’s likely made of 600D polyester. The company is working on certifications, so we'll see how that goes. Overall, it's a solid, practical jacket that can double as casual wear."
"The jacket has CE Level 2 protection in the elbows and shoulders, so it offers good protection. You can adjust a lot of things, like the arm openings with a zipper, and you can tighten the jacket at the elbows and hips, so you can make it tighter if needed. The jacket closes with a zipper and some Velcro, and it has a lot of pockets. Inside, there’s a liner, and if it gets colder, you can keep it, but if it gets warmer, you can take it off. The jacket has breathable designs on the back and mesh on the sides, which is great for the hot season because it lets air in. "
"The zippers work well and feel tough. There are arm straps you can adjust to fit your arms. There's protection for your shoulders, elbows, and a back pad. The elbow protection is especially long, going more than halfway up your arm. The fabric is really strong and won't get scratched easily. Inside, there's a thermal layer you can take out. It's attached with a zipper and some extra fasteners, and there's a velcro strap you can adjust. This layer isn't too thick, but it keeps you warm on cold days. So, this jacket is perfect for winter, spring, and autumn."
“The jacket comes in black with a tactile feel, resembling a mix of Cordura and denim. It features waffle patches on the shoulders and elbows and includes a removable quilted liner and CE-rated armor for the elbows, shoulders, and back. The armor is easy to install—simply unzip the internal liner, detach the color-coded sleeve tabs, and remove or insert the padding smoothly.”
"I really like this jacket. It’s comfortable and fits well, and the removable inner lining makes it suitable for year-round riding. When the weather gets warmer, I can easily remove the liner to stay cool in the summer. It also comes with armor protection for the shoulders, elbows, and back, all of which are C2-approved. One of the first things that typically fails on cheap jackets is the zipper, but these appear to be well-made and durable—only time will tell how they hold up."
"This jacket has a huge pocket for all your essentials—phone, wallet, etc. You can even warm your hands in it! It also has standard pockets. On motorcycles, tight spots can be uncomfortable, but this RIDEIRON jacket has none. I prefer snug gear because loose clothing can twist during a fall, causing painful friction burns. Perfect fit, no discomfort!"
"This rain suit is pretty unique. It has an adjustable waterproof hood that keeps water out, which is great when it’s really rainy. It’s made with TPU waterproof coating and mesh lining to keep you dry and comfortable, even when it’s warm or humid. The back vents help with ventilation to keep things cool inside. The Velcro cuffs and leg openings are adjustable, so they keep the water out around your wrists and ankles. It’s comfy, easy to put on and take off, and perfect for riding in the rain."
“The RIDEIRON waterproof gear performed well during testing. The trousers and jacket kept me dry, even in a heavy shower, though I hadn’t adjusted the trousers high enough, allowing a small amount of water to enter. The jacket provided good coverage with reflective elements for visibility and a vent to prevent overheating. Overall, the waterproof gear effectively kept me dry, and I’m confident it will perform well during the NC500, offering both protection and comfort in unpredictable weather.”
