Extended Product Information
FAQs
Are these pants suitable for summer riding?
The pants feature a breathable membrane which helps regulate temperature. However, in very high temperatures, they may feel warmer than lighter, unlined trousers. Consider opening any available ventilation zippers.
What is the main difference between CORDURA® and ArmaTech reinforcements?
CORDURA® reinforcements are typically used for abrasion resistance on high-wear areas like leg ends, while ArmaTech is often a more robust material specifically designed for impact protection, such as on the knees.
How often should I re-apply the DWR treatment?
The frequency depends on usage and washing. A good indicator is when water no longer beads up on the surface of the fabric but instead soaks in. Typically, this might be after several washes or extensive use in wet conditions.
Can I wear motorcycle jeans under these pants?
Yes, the pants are designed to be worn over base layers or light riding jeans. However, wearing very bulky items underneath may affect the fit and comfort.
What kind of detergent should I use?
Use a mild, liquid technical wash detergent specifically designed for outdoor or technical clothing. Avoid standard laundry detergents, bleach, and fabric softeners, as they can damage the waterproof and breathable membrane.
Does this model include integrated knee protection?
Yes, the pants feature extremely robust Rukka ArmaTech reinforcements on the knees, providing significant protection.
Are these pants suitable for all riding seasons?
Yes, due to their waterproof, windproof, and breathable features, they are suitable for year-round riding, with adjustments for layering in colder weather.
Troubleshooting
Water ingress despite being waterproof
Re-apply DWR treatment to the outer fabric. Check seams for damage and ensure all zippers and closures are fully secured.
Reduced breathability
Clean the garment thoroughly according to care instructions. Ensure the inner membrane is not clogged with dirt or detergent residue. Check that ventilation zippers are open if applicable.
Discomfort or poor fit
Verify the size is correct for your measurements. Adjust any internal or external adjustment straps. Consider if the pants are suitable for the specific riding posture.
Stiffness after washing
Ensure the garment was dried properly away from direct heat. A gentle re-application of a fabric conditioner designed for technical outerwear may help, but avoid standard fabric softeners.
