Anyone use Rukka Gore-Tex kit?

[viper]

id love rukka , when we win the lottery 

ive had a HG jacket ( cruise 11) cost about £450 , five years ago, still keeping us dry, although it does get washed twice a year in the detergent and re waterproof kit that HG sell.

recently got some Spada adventure trousers from the MCN show for £55 ( half price promo ), so far keeping us dry but havent really been tested yet, Id like to get the jacket to match but dont know if I can trust the brand yet.

the prices for the spada are so cheap it kinda puts you off, im seeing this jacket for £80 - £130 , its not goretex , but its nice to know that someone has experience and approves !

I have a full Rukka Armax kit for work and it is very good. Other than it goes purple in the sun!! I personally wouldn't pay that much for it though. (Just short of £2000!!)
For my own use I have Halvarssons and would wear it in preference to the Rukka to be honest. Its been through countless heavy thunderstorms in the Alps and always kept me dry, been from 20 degs plus to freezing in the same day and kept me comfortable at both. Top kit and half the cost in my opinion

Well, the Rukka arrived today and I've had a quick try. Fits perfect and can't wait to give it try tomorrow in the wet.

It's a lot lighter than the HG master suit. Need to get used to this new zip style as well.

I shall be re-testing the spada's tomorrow....

Glad it all arrived safely .... now you will want it to rain everyday just to keep warm and dry underneath your new kit !

Make sure you got some silicon grease with your suit and use it on the zip regularly otherwise the zip will be really stiff and you'll snap the tab off it. I know cos I did!!
