Ian Hutchinson just made his debut with the new RST Team at Oulton Park on the TeamRST bike, unveiling his updated race suit and gloves featuring D3O impact protection technology. If you don't already know why this is a big deal, I'll refresh your memory as to just what this gear is protecting 'Hutchy' from.
Hutchy is one of the most successful road racers ever, holding 16 Isle of Man TT wins and 27 podiums. Back in 2010, the man won all five solo TT races in the same week, a feat yet to be equalled. The gear that protects one of the fastest men on two wheels competing in the most dangerous race in the world should make riders take note, especially when said gear is relatively unknown in the US.
For the 2026 IOM TT and North West 200, Hutchy will wear the RST V4.2 D3O Airbag Leather Suit and Pro Series gloves with D3O palm protection, and it's not just him. Every RST rider will be wearing this combo for the IOM TT, and you can too because the exact same models will be on sale at the event this year.
