GORE-TEX product technologies
Durably waterproof and highly breathable, GORE-TEX membranes are the golden standard in all-weather comfort. All of our waterproof textile suits are made with GORE-TEX product technology. GORE-TEX fabrics and product technologies are also used in our windproof accessories and waterproof gloves.
D3O® protectors
D3O® products provide the most advanced protection against impacts. Soft and flexible in regular use but hardening instantaneously upon impact, the unique D3O® materials are unparalleled in comfort. Rukka motorcycling outfits incorporate generic D3O® impact protectors as well as exclusive Rukka D3O® Air protectors developed in cooperation with D3O®.
Rukka D3O® Air XTR protectors
The next-generation Rukka D3O® Air XTR protectors offer a market-leading combination of defence and comfort through the use of a new more breathable D3O® material composition developed specially for Rukka, with a unique ergonomic design and highly ventilated geometry to increase airflow while riding.
ARMACOR™ material
Our top-end laminated suits boast ARMACOR™ material for reinforcement in areas subject to impacts and abrasion. The superbly durable ARMACOR™ material is used as the outer layer of a GORE-TEX Pro 3-layer laminate and consists of a patented weave of CORDURA® polyamide fibres and Kevlar® aramid fibres with an outstanding resistance to tearing, heat and abrasion.
Corium+® Platinum leather
Corium+® Platinum leather is a unique material which allows Rukka to combine the feel of leather with the functionality of laminated textile suits. The soft aniline leather outer layer is abrasion-resistant, flexible and perforated throughout to allow moisture to escape. A breathable waterproof membrane bonded between the leather and a knitted lining ensures durable waterproofness.
M-CLIMA® personal climate management system
In extreme temperatures, both passive ventilation and conventional thermal insulation come up against their limits. In order to offer motorcyclists maximum comfort on the bike even on especially cold and unusually hot days, Rukka has developed and patented a new technology in collaboration with MATGroup: M-CLIMA®. It allows to actively cool or heat the wearer as needed.
CORDURA® fabrics
CORDURA® is a yarn made out of 100% polyamide fibres, it is available in many different fibre strengths and has much higher abrasion resistance than regular nylon. Rukka only employs CORDURA® fabrics with a minimum fibre strength of at least 500 deniers, raising safety standards to a very high level.
CORDURA® AFT mesh
CORDURA® AFT (air flow technology) mesh was developed by Rukka in collaboration with DuPont for enhanced riding comfort in hot climates. CORDURA® AFT is knitted to form a mesh structure, resulting in a fabric whose air permeability is 1.8 times higher than that of regular woven CORDURA®.
AFT+ mesh
A development of CORDURA® AFT, AFT+ pushes the boundaries of air permeability in protective motorcycling apparel. The breathable mesh structure of this material is nevertheless highly resistant to wear and tear.
COOLMAX® technology
COOLMAX® technology makes you stay dry and comfortable through proprietary four-channel fibres. COOLMAX® materials are incorporated into some of our base layer options and accessories.
Outlast® temperature regulation
Outlast® thermo-regulation works as a thermal shock absorber by slowing the rate of temperature change within a wearer’s personal microclimate. Outlast® reduces the rate at which a person will overheat or get cold, and is used as a lining in outerwear as well as in base and mid layer items.
Schoeller®-keprotec®
The schoeller®-keprotec® protective fabric made of a combination of polyamide and aramid fibres is characterised by an extremely high degree of abrasion resistance. We use it as a reinforcement material in areas like the seat of the trousers, where it forms an integral part of the Rukka Antiglide System.
3M™ Scotchlite™ reflective material
3M™ Scotchlite™ reflective material enhances your safety at night and in low visibility situations, creating an extremely bright image by returning light back to the light source - for example, vehicle headlights.
YKK® zippers
YKK® zippers are reliable and secure, manufactured to strict quality standards.
