FAQs
Are these pants suitable for summer riding?
While the pants feature a breathable laminate, they are primarily designed for three-season use (spring, autumn, winter) or cooler summer conditions. For very hot weather, riders may find them warm due to the waterproof membrane.
What is the main difference between CORDURA® and ArmaTech reinforcements?
CORDURA® is used at the leg ends for general abrasion resistance and durability against scuffing. ArmaTech reinforcements, specifically on the knees, are designed to be extremely robust, offering enhanced protection against significant impact forces.
How do I ensure I order the correct size?
Refer to the Rukka sizing chart provided by the retailer. Measure your waist and inseam accurately and compare them to the chart. Note that Rukka sizing may differ from standard clothing sizes.
Can I wear these pants with regular shoes?
These pants are designed to be worn with motorcycle boots. The leg ends are intended to go over or integrate with your boots to prevent wind and water ingress.
What is the warranty period for Rukka products?
Rukka typically offers a warranty against manufacturing defects. Please refer to the specific warranty details provided at the point of purchase or on the official Rukka website for the exact duration and terms.
How often should I re-proof the pants?
It is recommended to re-proof the pants when you notice water no longer beads up on the surface and starts to soak into the outer fabric. This typically occurs after several washes or significant use.
Troubleshooting
Water ingress despite waterproof claim
Ensure the DWR (Durable Water Repellent) finish is intact. If not, clean the garment thoroughly and re-apply a suitable waterproofing treatment. Check all zippers and seams for damage.
Reduced breathability
The laminate may be clogged with dirt or detergent residue. Wash the garment according to care instructions, ensuring a thorough rinse. Avoid fabric softener.
Stiffness after washing
Some stiffness is normal after washing technical fabrics. Tumble dry on low heat or air dry. Re-proofing can also help restore suppleness.
Zipper is difficult to operate
Clean the zipper teeth with a soft brush and warm water. Apply a zipper lubricant or wax to ensure smooth operation.
