FAQs
What type of riding are these trousers best suited for?
The Rukka Kemi Textile Trousers are ideal for touring, sport touring, and general motorcycle riding where durability, waterproofing, and protection are essential. The robust construction also makes them suitable for demanding conditions.
Are these trousers suitable for hot weather?
While they offer excellent waterproofing and windproofing, the three-layer laminate construction is also breathable. For very hot weather, ventilation might be limited compared to specialized summer gear, but they are generally comfortable for a wide range of temperatures, especially when paired with appropriate base layers.
Can I connect these trousers to a Rukka jacket?
Yes, most Rukka jackets and trousers are designed with connection zippers, allowing you to zip them together to form a secure one-piece riding suit, enhancing protection and preventing drafts.
How do I ensure I order the correct size?
Refer to the Rukka sizing chart provided by the retailer. Measure your waist circumference accurately and compare it to the UK sizing. This model is specifically a UK 30 waist.
What is the benefit of the ArmaTech knee reinforcements?
ArmaTech is an extremely robust material that provides superior impact resistance and abrasion protection at the knee area, a critical zone for rider safety in the event of a fall.
How often should I re-waterproof the trousers?
It is recommended to re-waterproof your trousers annually, or whenever you notice a decline in their water repellency (e.g., water no longer beads up on the surface). Follow the instructions on the waterproofing product you use.
Troubleshooting
Water ingress despite waterproofing treatment
Ensure the technical wash was used and no fabric softener was applied. Reapply a quality waterproofing treatment, paying attention to seams and closures. Check for any damage to the material or seals.
Reduced breathability
The breathable membrane may be clogged. Wash the trousers using a technical cleaner designed for waterproof fabrics. Ensure all detergent residue is rinsed out thoroughly.
Zipper is stiff or difficult to operate
Gently clean the zipper teeth with a soft brush and water. Apply a silicone-based lubricant or wax specifically designed for zippers. Avoid forcing the zipper.
Fit feels too tight or restrictive
Ensure the correct size was selected. These trousers are designed for a snug, protective fit. Consider wearing thinner base layers. If the fit is genuinely incorrect, check the return policy for exchanges.

Care: To maintain the performance and longevity of your Rukka Kemi Textile Trousers, follow these care instructions:
