Rukka Down-X 2.0 Jacket - Black Great fit style warmth product and service
Rukka Nivala 2.0 Gore-Tex Textile Trousers - Black These are pricey even with a decent SBS discount but you certainly get what you pay for. The build quality overall is top notch and by far the best motorcycle clothing I've owned. Sizing is tricky as when wearing the inner warm trousers you would need a size bigger, this might end up making them too loose in the warmer months which is a little annoying. Your paying for the full kit including the inner liners so I've had to accept a larger size to make the most of them.
The other quite annoying design is the very lower part of the trousers, when putting your legs in the inner material moves down and bunches up around the ankle which is a pain to adjust back up. I've figured out a work around but for such a premium product I feel this could be designed a little better.
Overall I'm really pleased with them and paired with the Jacket looks really smart. I've not tried them in proper rain yet but do feel confident they will keep me dry, that will be the ultimate test as I've never had a pair of MC trousers that don't leak in the crotch area!
Rukka Nivala 2.0 Gore-Tex Textile Jacket - Black After going back and forth with a few jackets, i returned to Rukka - their jackets ooze quality and seem to fit me best from all other jackets. Previously had the Nivala and happy to return, not bee road tested yet, but I'm sure it will be absolutely fine. Great service from SBS as usual.
Rukka Mark Thermal Set These are good quality base layers from Rukka. Packaging says sports base layers rather than thermals which makes sense as these are high wicking and breathable. Good for three season use but for proper thermals I’d probably look at other offerings.
Rukka ThermoG+ Gore-Tex Gloves - Black Good Quality as expected from Rukka
Rukka Mark Thermal Set Great buy

Keeps me warm and comfortable
Does exactly what you expect
Would recommend
Rukka Nivala 2.0 Gore-Tex Textile Trousers - Black Superb trousers with huge D30 knee armour that doesn’t reduce comfort. Braces are a great feature.
