Is the RST Havoc jacket actually waterproof?

Yes, it has a waterproof membrane in the shell. It handles commuting rain well, but owners report it can soak through in prolonged heavy rain.

Does it come with a back protector?

Shoulders and elbows get D3O armor. A back protector is not included on every version, so check the specific listing before buying.

Snug. Most owners suggest going one size up from your usual jacket size, particularly if you wear a hoodie or liner underneath.

With the thermal liner out it is wearable in mild weather, but the limited vents make it hot in true summer heat.

Yes. The waterproof shell, D3O armor and reflective panels suit daily rides in wet, dark conditions.

It gives D3O protection and waterproofing at a lower tier. Rivals higher up the range add more vents, lighter shells and back protection.
