Rukka Kalix 2.0 Gore-Tex Textile Jacket - Black

Was always sceptical paying a lot of money but so glad I did.Nice and cool when it is really hot(very strange how)and waterproof in heavy rain and like dry in no time.
Good vents and armour and 6 year warranty is a bonus.
I now have full Rukka gear.

The quality of this jacket is really high which is to be expected as the price is really high. The fit is ideal for me which is why I bought it - not too long on the body (we don't all have adventure bikes) but long enough in the arms and good across the shoulders.
The high collar is brilliant for my neck and was another of the key buying points.
The other reason for buying the jacket was a guaranteed waterproofing which I have yet to find out as it hasn't rained hard on me, yet. I am hoping not to use the very reassuring and lengthy warranty. I am keen to see how the zip holds up - there isn't the level of overlapping materials and velcro that previous jackets have had down the front.
I am experimenting with layers to insulate as the weather gets colder - there is no thermal liner remember.
This is a very nice jacket and I am pleased I bought it. I am also pleased with the great service from Sportsbikeshop as always. They are my preferred source of motorcycle clothing.

The jacket is the entry level so it comes with no liner, or storm collar or back protector as standard-but what they have cut to keep the cost down isn t a big deal for me.
Found the jacket 100% waterproof apart from I keep getting water dripping off the back of my helmet down inside my collar ..so I was getting wet from the inside outwards!! I ve changed bikes and it doesn t seem to do it anymore so maybe just the angle I was riding at.
Brilliant fit and very comfortable to wear. Highly recommended!

I bought this after my RST jacket leaked during a very wet tour of Wales, when a friend wearing Rukka kit stayed bone dry.
Obviously with Rukka you are paying top price, even though I managed to get this one discounted in an SBS sale. I also bought the back protector, which disappointingly isn't included.
Having said that, I have since toured France and Spain and I have stayed completely dry in heavy rain, so the jacket is doing its job well. I also find it fits me nicely and it is comfortable to wear for many hours at a time. Budget for something thermal to go underneath in winter, as there's no thermal lining, also don't expect to wear it in temperatures above 25 degrees because you'll need something that flows more air when it gets reallt hot.
The construction is top class, it feels like it will last a long time. I did have to send it back for repair when a zip pull fell apart, but they repaired it for me under warranty within about 2 weeks.
So overall, a very good purchase but it loses a point for needing repair.

Living I. The UK you never know what the weather will be and so this jacket is the ultimate all rounder and the best jacket I have ever owned.

Bought my Kalix in Dec 2021. It has been used all over Europe and the UK in all kinds of weather, including torrential rain in Germany last summer and the heat of southern France in '22 and it's been great. Yes, you do need to get decent warm layers to go under it if you use it in colder weather but let's face it, most of us ride a lot more in summer. Then this spring, riding home in a medium downpour, horror of horrors it leaked on the left arm and the stomach! I got onto SportsBikeShop (who are just great) and they sent me a label to return the jacket. From them it went back to Rukka and then a few weeks later SportsBikeShop got back to me and Rukka had agreed it had failed and would I like a refund or an exact replacement. Amazing. So I have a brand new Kalix 2 ready for my annual jaunt to Europe in four weeks time. Top marks for Rukka and top marks for SportsBikeShop. Recommended.

This jacket has a really good quality look and feel to it. The zips feel strong, the fit is true to size, comfortable to wear. The warranty extension to 6years is a bonus too.
Great service from the Sportsbike Shop.

Best jackets on the market. Comfortable, great fit and ultimate protection.

I was in the process of buying a new jacket which I’d already had in my basket waiting for payday. When SBS put up their Rukka sale I jumped on it and bought full new kit switching to a completely new brand. Very comfortable and definitely feels like I have bought a premium jacket.

Very comfortable, nice soft neoprene neck line, plenty of vents.

I bought this suit for an upcoming trip to Spain & Portugal I normally wear leathers but after getting soaked the last time I was out there I thought I’d best buy a new all weather suit and these came up at a big discount!! I was a bit worried about it being to hot for me but after going out in it over last weekend, i found the vents in this jacket gave me more than enough air flow to the point I was quite cold riding in 18c temps and with them closed it was a perfect place to be with the added bonus of if it does rain I’m 100% waterproof for anything unexpected.

I absolutely love this jacket. It can be warm or cool, depending on how I configure the zips/airflow. I thought the neck collar came a little high at first, but now im completely forgotten about it and the jacket is very comfortable.

Great purchase!

Went a size larger to accommodate the D30 back armour I bought at the same time. Good fit, windproof and warm enough for the recent Spring weather. Lighter weight than my 4 season textile suit.

Great jacket and at the discount price even better. Excellent fit. Back armour not included but at an extra £89, I can live without it for now. With a 6 yr warranty what's not to like. 46 chest went for the 56 so I can fit layer underneath. I bought a down featherlight jacket elsewhere and that works well.

Very comfortable and windproof but no chance yet to test waterproofing, that's what I need.
Practical cuffs allow gloves over or under, depending on preferences and comfy collar, although higher than many, does not interfere with helmet. Arrived with security tag still fitted which took a while to remove!
