Rukka Voyage-R Textile Jacket - Black

Pros
Great waterproof quality, like the cuffs, they stop wind and rain. Warm enough, I ride down to zero degrees before I feel the need for a thermal layer. High neck stops draughts. Good, comfortable protection. Feels really well made.
Cons
Can feel a little stiff. Zip height finishes right on my adams apple, need to position zip carefully to avoid comfort issues.

Great SBS service as ever , you get what it says on the tin with rukka , great quality and a nice fit, lack of inside pockets tbh and at the price point they could have added a zip out liner, having said that I got this jkt after price reductions inc a 15% black friday discount on certain clearance items, I would NOT pay the original RUKKA price of £1099, no jacket warrants spending that much money. I registered the jkt after purchase for the extended 6yr warranty, need to buy matching pants now.

Excellent quality and fit both jacket and trousers oh and the braces, even without the lining it is warm and wind proof and more so it’s dry
The product is the Voyage - R

Excellent feeling of protection, both from weather and accidents.
Maybe a little stiff, heavy and cumbersome when not on the bike.

Just purchased, great fit, expensive but quality and 6 year guarantee fantastic
Sportsbikeshop in Bletchley just fantastic, top people

Put around 400 miles on this jacket, cant fault it, comfy and warm obviously with a decent mid-layer on.
Going to Ullapool this weekend with rain forecast so will find out how waterproof it is, but im confident.

This jacket, although slightly expensive, has been a game changer for me. I bought it with the matching trousers which are also excellent. The first week I've worn it has been constant rain and generally weather that I would have taken the car normally. I've arrived at work warm and dry every day so far. I did look at the mid layers down jackets from Rukka, but I have a cheap down jacket I've been trying out which has worked well, so saved me some money.
All the armour for back, shoulders and elbow is included and unobtrusive and the jacket is really comfortable, once you've adjusted it properly. The high collar which I was unsure about, has kept the cold wind and rain out and the cuffs keep the rain out of your gloves and don't take more than five seconds extra to sort out. Pockets have been waterproof so far and the rain bounces off the jacket mostly. I'll be going for Rukka again next time.

Amazing product and fast delivery

My old kit had started letting in water around the inner elbows so I decided it was time for an upgrade. Rukka have a good reputation and the price-point of the Voyage-R fitted my budget. The jacket is really robust, feeling nice and solid when you put it on without being cumbersome. The two layer design at the wrist is great at keeping wind and water out as is the high neckline and fold-out storm flap on the neck. The high neckline is a little restrictive by comparison to other designs but is unbeatable when the weather turns bad. The vents keep it cool enough on warmer days but if it's warm and wet then you're in a bit of bother. There aren't a lot of pockets but they're enough for the essentials. The sizing is pretty accurate for the jacket, and gives enough room for a couple of thin extra layers underneath for warmth. Great quality construction and understated design.

Solid feeling quality construction. I particularly like the armour coverage, larger than any other jacket i have owned but doesn't intrude or feel bulky. The high neck softens with use and I don't notice it now.

Four not five stars because the sleeves are an inch shorter than they could be, an XL might have solved this but is too baggy for my non beergut frame.

I’ve been after a new Gortex Jacket for some time now.
I tried several high end manufacturers but this Rukka Voyager R fits lovely.

It’s a quality jacket which feels great, fits well and is made to last. The zips are excellent, great fit and comfortable and although this is an expensive jacket( not compared with some !) I’m very happy with the purchase.
‘Buy nice or buy twice’ I’ve always been told so I see this jacket as a long term purchase.

Sportsbikeshop staff were excellent. The staff weren’t pushy and had plenty of stock to show me to help Me make my mind up.

I tried plenty of jackets on before deciding on this jacket and with a great discounted price from sportsbikeshop it worked out good value for a very nice jacket.
The jacket has armour in the elbows, shoulders and back, is comfortable and fits me very well.
I’ve not used it in the very yet but if it lives up to the manufacturer’s description I will be very happy.
The staff at sportsbikeshop even posted me my own jacket which I left in the changing room by mistake which was excellent service.

I highly recommend this jacket and sportsbikeshop

I've never owned a Rukka before, and had been considering buying for a good few years. So, I went to the Boston store to try it on, and I am very glad that I did. I needed to go down a size, and the fit is almost 'tailored'. Close fitting is much welcomed. This is a high quality jacket, and worth the investment. It passed the waterproof test easily. No regrets. Got it at a great price from SBS too.

Feels very robust with large armour throughout. Haven't tested in serious rain yet but not anticipating issues. Dropped 1 star because I find the arms to be a little too short - gloves tend to pop out from under the outer layer of the jacket and I think an extra inch would help ;) Overall though, very happy with the jacket at the reduced price.

I had a Kalex 2 which was Ok, but this jacket has features I wanted but weren't available, for me the Storm collar was a must because I frequently got a draught going down my neck. Also the goretex sleeve arrangement is an improvement on the Kalex. Best of all over £340 off was the clincher. It may not be as outstanding as a Nivala but it's more than good enough for me..
