Rukka ThermoG+ Gore-Tex Gloves - Black Rukka are a sort of the Rolls-Royce of clothing, and these gloves certainly uphold this analogy. Perhaps a tad on the small side for the indicated size, though a BIG plus point for me is that the fingers are shorter rather than longer, so fit me perfectly. A negative point is that the wrist opening is quite a bit smaller than expected, so it's a tight wriggle to get my hand in, the upside being a perfect fit once on. Nice and comfortable. A little stiff, so the gloves will need breaking in. Would I recommend? Oh yes.
Rukka Nivala 2.0 Gore-Tex Textile Trousers - Black Waterproof and comfortable
Rukka Downride-R Midlayer Jacket - Black I chose a Rukka product after a good experience with their gloves and I'm glad I did. The jacket fits nicely and is true to size and has plenty of useful pockets. It's very light and comfortable and, although it's fairly bulky, it compresses under my leather jacket leaving me free to move without restriction. Then when I get to my destination I can wear it as a smart outer. I did a 120mile ride yesterday in 5C and felt warm and snug. I would otherwise have worn my heated jacket but didn't miss it at all, in fact I was more comfortable in the Rukka. Worth paying the extra for. Great delivery from sportsbikeshop as usual.
Rukka Virium 2.0 Gore-Tex Gloves - Black Bought these to replace my old gloves.
They were on sale at a great price and a quality brand, great fit and a good feel. Still to try try them in the rain but have total faith in them as I have a Rukka suit and it’s never let me down.
Rukka Mark Thermal Set Comfortable set of base layers, good to wear on and off the bike
Rukka Lahti Jacket - Black Purchased this as I was looking for a liner to go under a Rukka Kalix jacket and to be honest it’s a nice addition, haven’t had chance to use it while on the motorcycle but have used it on the mtb in the recent cold weather under a lighter coat and it made a difference, went up a size from a large to xl as the fitting was a little snug .
Rukka Downride-R Midlayer Jacket - Black It's another down jacket from Rukka, fits well, is well insulated and comfortable to wear. What's not to like? Not sure it'd fit as well as my down X jacket under my Rukka Voyage-R jacket but I'm not worried about that and it looks like a normal sized jacket in terms of length so would make a good stand alone jacket in it's own right.
