With more stretch than a plasticine gymnast, Rukka's Comfo-R jacket is a flexible wonder
15 Dec 2023
Purchased a pair of the new Rukka Air Vihti trousers to replace a pair of worn Fosair trousers which are no longer available and was initially unsure of them as a replacement as they are slightly heavier and have more protected amour installed. I needn't have worried as amazing in warm, dry weather which we are having more off, I just keep a pair of Scott lightweight over trousers with me for that guaranteed summer shower. Side pockets are a really useful addition too. I am a 38 waist which according to Rukka is a size 54, to honest I found a 54 too tight so recommend going up a waist size as a 56 (3XL) was far more comfier. Regular length suits an inside leg 31-32 no problem, will feel too long standing up but once seated perfect. Amazing service from Sportsbikshop as I was able to order several sizes to get the perfect fit and return at no cost. Expensive but worth it.
Brilliant jacket. If you are in the market for an outfit of this value then there is no other choice. I have tried lots and none perform or are as comfortable as this outfit. Totally dry, warm and a great feeling of safety with all of the up to date body armour fitted make this the ultimate and best on the market

This is my second pair of Viriums (took my 5 year old pair off-road, so needed a nicer road pair) and they are excellent. Best glove I've ever owned. They are completely waterproof and windproof and I'd say you can use them for 3 seasons - you might want something a little warmer for winter. Touchscreen finger and visor wipe on left hand index finger are so useful.
Sportsbikeshop had the best price and they arrived 2 days later - can't fault their service at all - thank you.
The quality of this jacket is really high which is to be expected as the price is really high. The fit is ideal for me which is why I bought it - not too long on the body (we don't all have adventure bikes) but long enough in the arms and good across the shoulders.
The high collar is brilliant for my neck and was another of the key buying points.
The other reason for buying the jacket was a guaranteed waterproofing which I have yet to find out as it hasn't rained hard on me, yet. I am hoping not to use the very reassuring and lengthy warranty. I am keen to see how the zip holds up - there isn't the level of overlapping materials and velcro that previous jackets have had down the front.
I am experimenting with layers to insulate as the weather gets colder - there is no thermal liner remember.
This is a very nice jacket and I am pleased I bought it. I am also pleased with the great service from Sportsbikeshop as always. They are my preferred source of motorcycle clothing.
This jacket is great for use on and off the bike not a thick material so handy to use for cool evenings walk about or to use under a vented jacket when there’s a chill in the air as second layer.
The sizing is accurate
