I have tried to save a few bucks on rain gear. Not a good Idea. You can not put a price tag on being FREEZING wet and MEASURABLE. Save is you must. You will be glad that you did. Just my 2 cents
I've been using Rukka for years ive two different jackets summer and winter plus the pants and another soft shell jacket. Absolutely outstanding gear top quality and expensive worth every cent and I've been riding over 45 years
Very nice review to start 2024! Concise, focused, no shenanigans. Liked it very much. All in all, I am not a big fan of Velcro, particular in cuffs and along the front zipper, so it seems the best Gore-Tex in my personal preference is the Dainese Carve Master 3, to replace my getting old but still good, also Dainese, Gator Gore-Tex.
Too many manufacturers make what I consider the mistake of putting the sleeve zip behind the velcro or press stud. Dainese doesn't do this on many of their jackets. The Carve Master is a comfortable jacket being stretchy but not being laminated it will wet out in heavy rain.
@@FortaMoto Thanks for the reply, I have asked this on quite a few videos and no-one else has answered. It seems a better deal to get it from you guys than a retailer in the UK. You're much cheaper than every retailer in the UK.

Unfortunately they compare apples with a watermelon. The Rukka Rapto-r (or the newer Shield-r) is not compareable with those previous models. It is comparable with the Rev-it Dominator 3, the Richa Armada gtx pro, Klim, etc… and indeed Rukka’s my favourite as well.
I'm sorry, but this is just a sales pitch, as you only rate the brands available at your shop. The only one of these that could stand up to my Stadler is the Rukka, but you probably don't sell Stadler, so it is not on the list.
I wouldn't call it "just a sales pitch", exactly. It's an honest overview of my 5 favourite jackets. It goes without saying that we only rate jackets we actually sell. I mean, we are a shop.. We are not (yet) a Stadler dealer, but they make splendid gear and would definitely feature on my list. The video is free to watch and you're also free to purchase a different jacket from any other vendor. It's just a video, man.
Calm down, silly person. The video is based on opinions, you are free to have your own. We are currently not a Klim or Stadler dealer - so, naturally, we don't mention them in our videos.

Glad to hear that you're happy with your Rukka gear! They do make fantastic stuff. Ride safe and thanks for tuning in.
Thanks, I needed this!
Super presentation. Very straightforward and informative.
Thank you!

Hi, another question. The Atlantic 2 jacket has a vent behind the main zip, how are the storm flaps held open to access that vent?
Is the Rukka Rapto-R the European version of the Nivala 2.0? None of the bike shop websites for the UK seem to stock the Rapto
That is indeed correct!

I have the dainese carve master and it is great.
Great video and explanation of all the jackets you carry! Don’t listen to the fools who put your reviews down because you don’t carry their brand. 👍
Cheers, mate. Much appreciated!
Hi @FortaMoto, so the Carve Master isn't laminated?
That is correct!

Are the jackets extra big or are you extra small?
I'm about 2 to 3 inches tall, depending on your screen size.
@@FortaMoto brilliant answer hahahaha

Common sense is an oxymoron.
This Video is absolutely useless. How about Klim and Stadler? If this are the best Jackets you know, you had already to learn a lot!

Hi, nice video. I am surprised you did not include the klim Badlands Pro A3 which is, for me, the best as it is really 4 seasons
Thanks for your compliments! Klim make fantastic gear! We are currently not a Klim dealer (yet), so that's why their gear is not included.
Don’t forget Stadler jackets, excellent gear
It is, indeed! Sadly, as of now, we are not (yet) a Stadler dealer.

I have both Revit and Kim jackets, I’m surprised that you didn’t have anything from Klim
I swear you’re the narrator from “How’s it Made” 🤔😉
No need to swear, but I promise you: I'm not. He copies me!
@@FortaMoto 😂👍
And About Mora model from Halvarssons???
stay away from velcro
anything under 100 pounds
It's going to be hard to find a GORE-TEX jacket for under 100 quid.
Love the new setting! Great job! 🫵🏼🔥 XCO
