High-tech motorcycle clothing

Rukka has been synonymous with top-quality motorbike clothing for decades. Rukka always focuses on the complete system in this regard - from functional garments on the skin, to protector technology and the outer protective layer. Bikers who value quality, comfort and safety in equal measure cannot do any better than Rukka.

Breathable material. Prevents condensation forming under the cover due to fluctuations in the outside temperature.

This clothing has a connecting zip.

Sold under various brand names (Gore-Tex, Reissa, Tepor, Sympatex, Hipora, Porell, Helsapor, Enprotex, Nibo, Humax, Drygate etc.). Gore-Tex and Sympatex have patent protection. One thing all these membranes have in common is their basic function: exploiting a temperature gradient, perspiration is transported from the inside to the outside, yet wind and rain cannot get in. This effect makes both fabric and leather clothing highly weatherproof, and also very comfortable to wear. The membranes are manufactured from different base materials, depending on the brand, and are made either as a loose "liner", as a laminate (bonded to the outer material), or as a coating on a carrier material. The first product of this kind, the "Gore-Tex" membrane made of Teflon, fulfils its function due to its very fine pores, which allow moisture from the skin to move outwards, but prevent the larger raindrops from moving inwards. Gore-Tex is indeed highly effective, but the patented material comes at a price. All the other membranes consist of polyurethane or polyester, and transport water vapour molecules outwards by means of chemical reactions. Different materials have been adapted to the various applications in the field of motorcycle clothing. All of these climate membranes are sensitive to mechanical damage: if a membrane is pierced, clearly it can no longer provide protection. Damage can also result from the use of inappropriate washing agents. Softeners, including those contained in detergents, damage the membrane irreparably!

100% waterproof

Particularly high-quality polyamide fabric from DuPont, manufactured from fibres that have been cut and respun. Significantly more resistant to abrasion than the majority of other nylon materials, and can therefore provide a degree of protection in the event of a fall. Attractive, slightly textured, natural weave appearance. Various fibre thicknesses available (500D is twice as thick as 250D). Special Cordura fabrics cater for particular applications. For example, Powernet-Cordura from Rukka is used to reinforce potential impact points on motorbike clothing, Air-Flow Cordura offers increased breathability. Impregnators give additional protection against soiling and weather.

D3O contains intelligent molecules that locks together on impact to absorp and spread the force. D3O is extremly thin and flexible but provides maximum shock absorption.
