My Thoughts on RS TRACKSUIT

RS TRACKSUIT Review — Worth it?

Finding a weather-ready tracksuit that looks street-ready, packs light, and adapts to changing conditions is tougher than it sounds. The RS TRACKSUIT from Garmstarr promises a mid-weight, 3-in-1 ripstop nylon system with showerproof protection, convertible bottoms, and an oversized, blocky silhouette. In this review I test how well it performs as a daily windbreaker, travel layer, and activewear option.

Why this product exists

Many people want one outer layer that can handle light rain, wind, and urban movement without feeling bulky. Traditional rain jackets can be too technical and stiff; standard sweat suits aren’t weather resistant. The RS TRACKSUIT aims to bridge that gap: lightweight ripstop nylon with a coated finish, mesh lining for comfort, and practical features (convertible pants, adjustable hood/waist) that try to make it a versatile go-to.

Specifications & Materials

Real-world experience — Pros & Cons

What I liked

• Weather resistance for everyday use: The coated ripstop gives a smooth, showerproof feel — great in light rain and damp wind. It beads water instead of soaking through instantly.
• Light and packable: Mid-weight ripstop compresses well into a bag; handy for travel or commuting when you need a backup layer.
• Convertible bottoms: Zips that turn pants into shorts are genuinely useful on variable-weather days or when switching from outdoor to indoor activity.
• Comfortable inner lining: Mesh lining prevents the clammy feel that some coated nylon garments get, and improves breathability during activity.
• Adjustability: Cord-adjustable hood and waist plus cuff toggles allow you to dial fit and ventilation, which is helpful given the oversized cut.
• Practical pockets: Multiple pockets (side and rear) hold essentials securely; concealed zips help keep pockets weather-protected.

What could be better

• Not fully waterproof: “Showerproof” is accurate — heavy or prolonged rain will eventually penetrate, especially at seams. This is a layer for light showers, not downpours.
• Silhouette is selective: The oversized, cropped top looks modern but won’t suit everyone’s styling preferences or body shapes.
• Noise and feel: Ripstop nylon inevitably has a slight rustle compared with softshells or cotton blends. It feels synthetic against the skin if you wear it without a base layer.
• Zipper bulk: Two-way chrome YKK has a premium look but can feel heavy and stiff at times; converting and stowing the bottom zips takes a moment.
• Sizing guidance: The oversized cut makes sizing tricky — check the size charts carefully (images provided) and consider whether you prefer room for layers.

Fit and comfort notes

I tested the suit for commuting, light trail walks, and casual errands. For most day-to-day use the mesh lining and relaxed bottoms are comfortable; the cropped top can feel breezy when zipped only partially. If you like layering, size up to avoid restriction. If you prefer a classic athletic silhouette, the block, oversized style may feel deliberate and fashion-forward rather than purely functional.

Quick comparison

RS TRACKSUIT vs. Nike Windrunner-style nylon set

• Both use lightweight nylon and offer wind protection. The RS TRACKSUIT provides more features for variable weather (convertible shorts, mesh lining, cord adjustments) while many Windrunner-style sets focus on a simpler, sporty cut and brand-driven styling.
• RS feels more technical with ripstop and showerproof coating; a Windrunner often prioritizes style and breathability over shower resistance.

RS TRACKSUIT vs. Columbia/Patagonia lightweight rain shells

• Dedicated rain shells from Columbia or Patagonia typically offer higher waterproof ratings and seam taping for extended wet-weather protection. The RS TRACKSUIT trades full waterproofing for versatility (convertible pants, fashion-forward cut) and a lighter, streetable look.
• If you need serious rain protection for hikes or long exposure, a technical shell will outperform the RS. For urban wear, travel, and mixed-activity days, the RS is more adaptable.

Who is this best for?

• Urban commuters who want a lightweight, weather-resistant layer that packs easily.
• Travelers who appreciate convertible clothing and minimal bulk in a carry-on.
• Style-conscious buyers who like oversize, cropped silhouettes with technical details.
• People who need showerproof protection and breathability rather than full waterproof performance.

Bottom line: The RS TRACKSUIT is a versatile, style-forward option for light-weather protection and travel. It’s not a substitute for a true rain shell, but its convertible features and comfortable lining make it a strong pick for everyday use.

Sizing and shopping notes

Garmstarr offers the RS TRACKSUIT in Small through Extra Large. Because of the oversized, cropped top and relaxed pants, examine the size charts carefully and consider whether you want room for layering. The product images include top and bottom size charts to help pick the best fit.

Final verdict & call to action

If you want a versatile, packable tracksuit with weather resistance, practical pockets, and the novelty of convertible bottoms, the RS TRACKSUIT is worth considering. It’s best for commuters, travelers, and anyone who values a contemporary, oversized look with functional details. If your main need is heavy rain protection or a minimalist athletic cut, look to more technical shells or classic performance brands instead.

If you’re interested in trying the RS TRACKSUIT, I recommend checking sizing closely and taking advantage of occasional promotions — there are discount codes and special offers available when purchasing through my store that can make this a better value. Happy shopping, and think about how you’ll use the suit day-to-day before you pick your size.
