FAQs
Are these pants suitable for summer riding?
While the pants feature a breathable laminate, they are designed for three-season use. For very hot weather, consider additional ventilation options or lighter weight gear.
How do I determine the right size?
Consult the Rukka sizing guide provided with the product or on the manufacturer's website. Measure your waist and inseam accurately and compare them to the chart.
Can I wear knee braces under these pants?
The pants feature integrated ArmaTech knee protection. If you prefer to use external knee braces, ensure they fit comfortably within the leg circumference or consider if the integrated protection meets your needs.
How often should I re-waterproof the pants?
It is recommended to re-waterproof the pants every few washes or when you notice water no longer beads up on the surface, typically every 6-12 months depending on usage and care.
What is the purpose of the CORDURA® reinforcements?
CORDURA® is a highly abrasion-resistant material used to reinforce high-wear areas, such as the leg ends, to protect the pants and the rider in case of a slide on the road.
Can these pants be connected to a Rukka jacket?
Most Rukka pants are designed with a connection zipper to attach to compatible Rukka jackets, creating a unified riding suit for enhanced protection and weather sealing.
Troubleshooting
Water ingress despite waterproof claims
Ensure the DWR (Durable Water Repellent) finish is active. Reapply a DWR treatment if necessary. Check for any damage to seams or the laminate membrane. Ensure connection zippers to jackets are properly sealed.
Zipper is stiff or difficult to operate
Clean the zipper teeth with a soft brush to remove dirt or debris. Apply a silicone-based lubricant or graphite pencil to the zipper teeth to improve glide.
Fit feels restrictive
Verify that the correct size has been selected using the Rukka sizing chart. Consider the thickness of base layers being worn. Some minor adjustments might be possible via internal waist adjusters if present.
Pilling or excessive wear on fabric
Inspect for areas of excessive friction. Ensure the garment is not being washed or dried with abrasive materials. For significant wear on reinforcement areas, professional repair may be needed.
