Rukka Air Vihti Trousers - Black

Purchased a pair of the new Rukka Air Vihti trousers to replace a pair of worn Fosair trousers which are no longer available and was initially unsure of them as a replacement as they are slightly heavier and have more protected amour installed. I needn't have worried as amazing in warm, dry weather which we are having more off, I just keep a pair of Scott lightweight over trousers with me for that guaranteed summer shower. Side pockets are a really useful addition too. I am a 38 waist which according to Rukka is a size 54, to honest I found a 54 too tight so recommend going up a waist size as a 56 (3XL) was far more comfier. Regular length suits an inside leg 31-32 no problem, will feel too long standing up but once seated perfect. Amazing service from Sportsbikshop as I was able to order several sizes to get the perfect fit and return at no cost. Expensive but worth it.

Bought to wear in combination with a Rukka Air Karvic jacket instead of a pair of (expensive!) Rokker jeans- and so glad I did. The fit is comfortable, and with proper, full size L2 armour rather than the small and thin 'ghost' armour of the jeans they feel secure, confidence inspiring and far more likely to protect you. The material in both trousers and jacket has a degree of stretch which makes them comfortable on and off the bike and both being rukka they zip together perfectly. Good size pockets. As for the all-important mesh- in hot weather they're far far better than jeans with the degreee of airflow only dependent on speed and the bike fairing. Brilliant kit.
