FAQs
What makes the Rukka ArmaTech knee reinforcements special?
Rukka ArmaTech is an extremely robust material specifically designed to offer superior abrasion and impact protection for the knee area, enhancing rider safety.
Can these pants be worn in hot weather?
While designed for all-weather use with a breathable laminate, they are robust textile pants. They offer breathability but may be warmer than lighter mesh riding pants in extreme heat. Proper ventilation with motorcycle jackets is recommended.
How do I ensure the waterproof feature lasts?
Regular cleaning according to instructions and occasional re-application of a DWR treatment to the outer fabric will help maintain the waterproof and breathable performance of the laminate.
What is A.W.S. PRO material?
A.W.S. PRO is a durable, stretchable, and abrasion-resistant outer material made of polyamide, designed for motorsport applications, offering both resilience and flexibility.
Are these pants suitable for everyday commuting?
Yes, their durability and weather protection make them suitable for commuting, especially in conditions where protection and comfort are paramount. However, their robust construction is optimized for more demanding riding.
How do I check for the correct size?
Refer to Rukka's official sizing chart for motorcycle apparel. The 'UK 42' in the product title indicates the waist size. It is always recommended to try them on if possible or consult detailed size guides.
Troubleshooting
Water ingress despite waterproof claims
Check that all zippers and Velcro closures are fully secured. Inspect the laminate for any tears or damage. Consider re-applying a DWR (Durable Water Repellent) treatment to the outer fabric.
Reduced breathability
The inner membrane may be blocked by dirt or residue. Follow the care instructions for cleaning the garment thoroughly. Ensure no fabric softeners were used during washing.
Stiffness or discomfort in knee area
Ensure the knee protectors are correctly positioned. The ArmaTech reinforcements may require a short break-in period. Check if the sizing is correct; a garment that is too tight can cause discomfort.

Care Instructions:
- Cleaning: Due to the advanced waterproof and breathable laminate, it is recommended to follow the specific care instructions provided by Rukka. Generally, this involves hand washing or using a delicate cycle with a mild detergent, avoiding fabric softeners. Ensure all zippers and closures are fastened before washing.
- Waterproofing Maintenance: To maintain the waterproof and breathable properties, periodic re-treatment with a suitable waterproofing spray for technical apparel may be beneficial.
- Drying: Hang to air dry away from direct heat sources. Avoid tumble drying, as high temperatures can damage the material and membrane.
