FAQs
What type of riding is this jacket best suited for?
This jacket is ideal for touring, commuting, and general motorcycle use, offering excellent protection and comfort in various weather conditions.
How do I ensure the correct size?
We recommend referring to Rukka's official sizing chart and measuring yourself accurately. If possible, try the jacket on in person, especially considering it's a UK size 40.
Can I wear this jacket in very cold weather?
Yes, the jacket's windproof and waterproof features provide a good base layer. For colder conditions, layering with thermal wear underneath is recommended.
What makes the Rukka ArmaTech reinforcements special?
Rukka ArmaTech is an extremely robust material designed to provide superior abrasion resistance and impact protection in critical areas like the shoulders and elbows.
How often should I reapply the DWR treatment?
The frequency depends on usage and how often the jacket is washed. A good indicator is when water no longer beads up on the surface. Typically, reapplication might be needed every few washes or annually with regular use.
Is this jacket suitable for women?
This specific jacket model and size (UK 40) is designed for men. Rukka may offer similar models in women's specific fits.
Troubleshooting
Zipper is stiff or difficult to move
Gently clean the zipper teeth with a soft brush and a little water. Apply a small amount of wax (e.g., beeswax or zipper wax) to the teeth and work the zipper back and forth to loosen it.
Water is seeping through seams
Check if the DWR treatment needs reapplication. If the issue persists, the seam taping may be compromised and may require professional repair.
Jacket feels less breathable than before
The jacket's membrane may be clogged. Wash the jacket according to care instructions using a technical wash and ensure all detergent residue is removed. Reapply DWR treatment if necessary.
Velcro closures are losing grip
Clean the Velcro surfaces by brushing away any lint or debris. For stubborn debris, a small amount of isopropyl alcohol can help.
