Rukka Clothing

Saved up for a year to invest in a Rukka Nivala 2.0 Gore-Tex textile Jacket and trousers and what a disappointment the trousers have been.

After only wearing the trousers half a dozen times in fair weather, there was noticeable wear in the natural creases to the outside of both knees, which also coincided with the outer corner of the armour. Concerned that If I continued to wear them a hole would develop, I stopped wearing them and submitted what I considered to be an honest and genuine warranty claim together with photographs clearly indicating where and how the wear was occurring.

The claim was instantly dismissed with an accusation that the trousers had been subjected to “damaging actions” despite clear evidence to the contrary.

The manufacturer also did not respond to my request for materials for me to try and carry out my own repairs.

Such a disappointment and not what I expected and I truly regret purchasing the suit.

Nice quality as far as I can see and generally pleased so far.
The jacket seems a wee bit short in length and I'm only 5'8". It also is quite lightweight and certainly needs a good layer or 2 underneath it in cooler weather.
Having said all that it feels like a quality item. I haven't tested it's waterproof qualities to yet but would expect it to be perfectly dry.

Good fit and very effective on the road ..

Overall very happy. It’s comfortable and looks great. Also has some reflective areas which I like for the improved safety. Only reason I can’t give 5 stars is because it’s only A CE rated. For this price I would have loved to have seen a AAA rating. Even if it was another £100 for that better rating I would have probably bought it. I understand though that this is intended to be a more lightweight and comfortable jacket and so compromises maybe have to be made. But even a AA rating I think would make me feel more at ease. Anyway I still like the jacket as it is nice to be able to wear a motorcycle jacket into the office without feeling the need to bring a change of clothes! Nice one Rukka!
