Rukka R-Star Gore-Tex Glove - Black

Well made, good leather, strong, and very warm. What’s not to like!

I needed some quality gloves for cold days but didn't want the hassle of heated ones.
These are better then I expected, I used them on a trip to my daughters in 3/4 degrees for an hour and my hands stayed warm and comfortable. Best winter gloves I've found in over 30 years of riding. Expensive but you get what you pay for!

Expensive but does what it says on the tin.
As my bike has heated gloves I use the grip configuration and this allows me to feel the heat better whilst still maintaining some degree of feel for the controls.
Whilst I've used them in the wet and in the cold with great success I'm yet to use them in the wet and cold at the same time, but I have no doubt they will pass with flying colours.
I have used them in full warm configuration without grips and found them better than any other glove but also found that you do sacrifice "feel" for warm. A worthwhile trade off in my book.
The only real criticism I would have is that the glove is manufactured with straight fingers so whilst breaking them in you do get fatigue in your 3rd and 4th finger especially in your right hand.

Very warm and comfortable, totally waterproof and the best gloves I've ever used. Downside is the price but if I get 5 years use like the last Rukka pair then they're worth the money.

Really happy with these. Recently had my bike nicked and had all my gloves including a cheaper pair of Rukka ones in the topbox. Took a punt and bought the most expensive winter gloves they make.
Toasty even with my poor circulation, and they have a nifty flap inside that allows you to put your hands in one side or the other which moves padding from the back of your hand to the palm for all round warmth.
Really well made and excellent fit.
Unwearable above about 10 degrees though, these are COLD weather gloves.

The best of gear warm and waterproof

Really warm

Totally love these gloves. 2nd pair last pair just got to small. Nothing to do with gloves. Twin Chambers are a godsend. 2deg not a problem. Costly but well worth it. Really can't fault quality and service.

Rukka told me they where the warmest glove they made. I rode for 2 hours at 5 degrees and my hands where still warm. Great buy.

These were on offer for £200 (originally £250!) but, for unheated gloves, are very good.
The visor wipe is too small, and I'd prefer it on the thumb in any case.
Totally waterproof, but my fingertips get cold at around 5 degrees C, despite heated grips. They are fairly bulky but easy to get used to. Quite difficult to get inside jacket sleeves, as they're pretty thick, but the design & function are very good. The padding on the outer palms does a good job of absorbing vibration from the handlebars. Bought these as a stop-gap because my Gerbings went wrong & burnt one hand. If I decline replacement heated gloves I'll definitely have to use over-mitts when the temps start dropping. Hence 4 stars. SBS are excellent though (as always), despite the pandemic.

Only wore once for long trip around West of Scotland, kept hands nice and warm and bone dry after several heavy downpours. Feel real quality which you would expect from a £200 pair of gloves, knocked one star off as they do feel bulky in the warm chamber but I'm sure i will get used to them, great service as always from SBS.

I tried a pair however chose to return them as even with dry hands the liner pulled out when removing and meant when putting back on the fingers needed a lot of messing about to fit properly and get the liner back in place. I have other Rukka gloves which are excellent however despite these being otherwise excellent quality for me the design is all wrong.

I don't know of an unheated glove that will give full protection down below zero Celsius, but this one is close.
Certainly with heated grips I only feel slight discomfort at my fingertips.
The styling is a little lacklustre, but these are highly functional gloves, and certainly completely waterproof. I found the cuffs very difficult to get inside the sleeves of my Rukka Navigator jacket, which was a little surprising, but I found out why once they were in place - they are a snug fit to keep out draughts, and it works.
Tactile feel through the glove is muted, as you'd expect with any insulated glove of this nature, but if you can use the bottom chamber with heated grips, things do improve to a degree.
The knuckle protections aren't intrusive and I don't recall them interfering in any way during the winter months when I was wearing them.
I'm sure there are other gloves out there that will keep your hands warm in winter, but Rukka most certainly paid attention to detail with these, as they most always do. The 2 year warranty isn't overly generous for gloves costing as much as these, but based on my experience of the Rukka suit, I decided to go with these as I've had my fill of cheap gear which lets in water and looks like a dustbin liner after a year or two.
I wouldn't recommend these as a 3 season glove as they will cook your hands in anything hotter than a dull day in the UK (I use the Argosaurus for anything other than hot days) but as an unheated winter glove, they are probably about as good as it gets.

Needed a replacement for my Held (twin chamber gloves) these were the same price with a very nice 10% off voucher from SBS! Couldn't resist and so far not disappointed! On very cold rides (1-2c) you can choose between having your hands in a thick winter gloves where insulation/thickness is the same all round or using the second chamber which gives better feel on the grips whilst keeping the back of your hands protected from the breeze! Heated grips keep my palms warm! The gloves just shoot quality which is be expected at the price. Can't recommend enough!! Service from SBS faultless as usual!!
