FAQs
Are these pants suitable for summer riding?
While the pants are waterproof and breathable, the primary focus is on protection and durability. For very hot weather, consider pairing them with appropriate base layers or looking for models with enhanced ventilation features.
How do I determine my size?
Refer to the Rukka sizing chart and measure your waist and inseam accurately. Pay attention to any specific measurements provided for the Armatou-R model, as fit can vary.
Can the knee armor be removed or upgraded?
The Rukka ArmaTech knee reinforcements are integrated for maximum protection. Consult the product manual or manufacturer for information on whether they are removable or if upgrade options are available for specific models.
What is the warranty period for these pants?
Warranty information can vary by region and retailer. Please check the product documentation or contact the point of purchase for details on the warranty coverage.
How often should I re-waterproof the pants?
It's recommended to re-waterproof the pants annually or whenever you notice water is no longer beading on the surface. Regular washing with a technical cleaner can help maintain the DWR (Durable Water Repellent) finish.
Can these pants be worn with a separate rain suit?
Yes, these pants are designed to be worn as primary riding gear. However, if you encounter extreme weather, wearing a separate, high-quality rain suit over them can provide an additional layer of protection, though the pants themselves are already waterproof.
Troubleshooting
Water seeping through seams
Ensure all zippers are fully closed and that seam-sealed areas are intact. Consider re-applying seam sealer if wear is visible.
Reduced breathability
Clean the garment thoroughly according to care instructions. Residue from detergents or dirt can clog pores. Ensure the waterproof membrane is not compromised.
Stiffness after washing
Air dry the pants completely. Gently flex the fabric to help restore flexibility. Avoid direct heat which can make materials brittle.
Velcro closures are not sticking
Clean the hook and loop surfaces with a brush to remove dirt and debris. Ensure the Velcro is properly aligned when fastening.
