 Advice & Guides Gore-Tex not keeping out water? There's a different procedure to getting it sorted, and here's an explainer...

For clothing and helments you really have to try them on. I'm a 100K miles biker but haven't bought a new jacket for years. I tried on a lot of jackets at the shop in Preston - really helpful and knowledgeable staff. The bike frame to sit on is a great idea.
I tried on jackets at every price point - the Rukka I had reserved was far and away the best. Clever design features and the best materials. What really sealed it was the quality of the body armour solution designed by Rukka for their jackets - in exactly the right places and didn't move. 200 miles so far and I know it was the right decision.
Great jacket as I don't like to wear anything except a base layer underneath. Light weight with vents for the summer and waterproof in rain.
Rukka make some fantastic Jackets. I have the Nivala but wanted something lighter also so I bought a Kalix 2 too. Yes expensive but you really do get what you pay for. My Nivala is for winter and this when I want something lighter and more comfy.
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.
I bought the grey/yellow version and think it is pretty stylish. It’s actually lighter than I thought and I was a bit chilled at 10º. I’m going to buy the Rukka down jacket/liner. It’s a significant upgrade to the Kalix 2. As a late spring/summer/early autumn jacket I think it’s brilliant. By the time you add on the down liner and back protector, pricewise, you could go for the Voyage R but I guess that would be a bit warm in the summer. As usual everything is a compromise. I’m really happy with my purchase.
