Rukka V Halvarssons

[Rusty]

I have no personal dealings with them but I know of others on the dark side ( UK GSer site ) that have and from my fuzzy memory all was well. Warranty will be the same worldwide but you MUST keep your receipts and paperwork. I have bored everyone on here before about Rukka but I have had both the Armas jacket and trousers for a near weekly commute over the last 7 years and it has NEVER let me down .. I can assure you mate that you get what you pay for and everyone knows it. Of course its hard to shell out lots of hard earned cash for what many see as "just a Jacket" or "another set of trousers" but I wouldn't waste my money on anything else.  Keep us posted and let us all know what you decide.

Update, motolegends a UK company have price matched the german offer, bless them  and I totally agree, you get what you pay for, and for a good Goretex suit its not going to be cheap whoever you go with. My HG suit has lasted 10 years through all weathers, so if the Rukka kit does the same it's money well spent for peace of mind, so it's Rukka for me, tried on lots of different makes and the Rukka kit with the D30 armour just feels solid.
Thanks to all for advice and comments, much appreciated.

Off on a tangent slightly but still about Goretex.
I have some £150 Head gloves that have a Goretex lining.. Now with these gloves they keep my hand nice and dry, but during the cold months, if it rains and the outer part of the gloves get wet the cold wind on them makes my hands get really cold, even though they are nice and dry..
Does this sort of thing happen with Goretex clothing or is the Goretex on the outside?

I have a Rukka ArmaS and i totaly love it. Actuly bought it in UK as its cheeper then over here in Norway :)

Also have the Rukka Armaxion pants and they are the same quality. Never had riding gear before that don't leak .

On the Rukka goretex pro it's on the outside. My old HG suit has a goretex lining, (not on the outside), but doesn't have that effect in the wet. HTH.

I've had Rukka for 5-6 years....  great stuff, never let me down.... 40,000 miles+ and a crash - jacket is still waterproof.

Rukka also has 5 year manufacturers warranty not many motorcycle kit manufacturers have that!  :-)

Charlie and I have had bad experience with Richa. Both ours leaked.

In fairness......it helps to put the water/wind proof liner in before riding in a downpour 

Plus my Richa is far warmer than my BMW Street Guard jacket.........but does not breath in the same way..............it must be dead as it doesn't breath at all.

It was very wet that day

Yes slightly inclement. But I thought jacket was meant to keep water out not in. Lol

I can confirm that the water/wind proof liner once fitted over a waterlogged me kept all water trapped inside jacket

Rukka Armaxion suit arrived, had it's first outing, feels very comfy, well fitting, and has a solid feel to it. All good so far
