KIWI RIDER JANUARY 2018 VOL.2 | Page 37

Fifth-gen best-gen RST’s fifth-generation Paragon jacket is set to raise the bar. RST pitches it as a touring rider’s dream, what with the Teflon-coated Maxtex and Ballistic construction, its Sinaqua waterproof interior membrane and removable full-length warm, quilted liner. Waterproof zips are used throughout, and the main entry is double zipped with a gutter system inside — clearly these guys have ridden long-distance in the rain and know what matters.

The special polyester carcass should deliver increased heating resistance in race conditions, and cuts weight without compromising stability and cornering behaviour, while V-shaped knobs improve braking stability and cornering side grip. That they deliver high performance in severe racing conditions is proved by their 68 MX World Championship titles and the 2015 NZ MX1, MX2 and 125cc titles. Built for shredders Still wondering what to swap Junior’s unwanted Christmas gifts for? How about FFM’s Motopro 4 Jnr Racer helmet, which features a true kid’s size shell to eliminate the top-heavy look delivered by many youth helmets. It uses a lightweight and compact ABS shell construction, chin and brow vents, a plush comfort lining that is removable and washable and double D-ring fastening, and meets the ECE22.05 safety standard.
