If it feels like armour in your bike kit then the law demands it is actually proper, protective armour. Here's how to tell how effective your impact protection is...
While Rukka's 3-layer kit will cost you an arm and a leg, Rukka provide another choice with their Kemi jacket and trousers. While I've not had to test the waterproof qualities through monsoon weather (yet), I suspect Rukka know who to construct waterproof gear- they've been at the top of the tree of years. What I like about Rukka gear like this is the full-size armour in knee and hip- and for me, the knee armour placement is perfect. The hip armour is relatively huge as well- and you do feel it when sat on the bike. However I'm reassured that I have the armour there, rather than postcard sized patches found in some other manufacturer's offerings. Expensive, but good kit always is.
Amazing quality and fit exactly the way they should
Not cheap but sometimes you get what you pay for and that's the case in this instance. Comfortable, a good fit and I've no doubt waterproof but of course it hasn't rained since i bought them.
I bought the matching Kemi jacket recently so decided to get the matching trousers. Rukka do a drop liner with Goretex for a similar price, but I prefer the laminated. However I am not prepared to pay the Goretex premium. These are waterproof, windproof and comfortable with excellent D3O armour in the knees and hips. I have so far only used them at temperatures down to 7C but they kept me warm enough on a short trip. Not inexpensive (albeit they were on sale) but they are superb quality and in this case you get what you paid for.
I bought these trousers to match my Kemi jacket. Same superb Rukka quality. Very comfortable and the vents work very well in hot weather. I thought they were a little on the long side, bunching up a bit on my boots but they fit perfectly when on the bike, whereas my last ones used to ride up over my boots. Good work Rukka.
Very good fit
Excellent purchase. Fit really well. Was worried about being too hot but the vents are superb. Would definitely recommend.
Excellent trousers, comfortable, protective and well fitting. The laminate isn't restrictive, the weather proofing is excellent and the sizing is perfect for me. You will need the braces to go with them though.
Absolutely superb Trouser, comfortable, flexible, cool in warm weather and warm in cold weather (how do they do that) well worth the money.
