Rukka Nivala 2.0 Gore-Tex Textile Jacket - Black / Orange

So far I haven't worn the jacket in wet weather or very cold weather.
The jacket is very comfortable, the stretch material help make the jacket very comfortable to wear. with or without the down inner jacket.
If it as good as my previous Rukka jacket I will be able to wear the jacket in any weather and be sure I wont get wet.
The jacket is stylish without being over the top.

Although expensive the quality of this kit is outstanding.
Fully waterproof, extremely comfortable and over the 6 year warranty period, extremely good value for money.
As ever staff at the Bristol store were brilliant.
SBS your staff are a credit!,
Thank you.

This jacket stretches a lot which allows for far better comfort that the Rukka Kalavasi I have. Excellent quality and rain just beads off the soft outsell membrane without residue. You will need a thin heated vest if you ride in sub 5c temps as some cold does get though but overall it's excellent. This 2.0 version is far more comfortable than the previous versions of the Nivala and Kalavasi.

I am 5'9" 43" chest, 31" leg and 36" waist. I went for 54 in jacket and 54 short trousers. I have only worn with the down inners and for a four hours between 1 and 5 C I was warm with just EDZ long johns and shirt under. putting the suit feels a bit stiff from new. Once on the bike its fine. Zips don't catch on linings and feel like they will last.

Had the Nivala 1 for almost a couple of years however had on going problem with the left cuff letting in wind and rain.
Jacket was sent back twice for inspection but fault couldn't be traced.
Sportsbikeshop.co.uk decided to replace it with the new Nivala 2, outstanding customer service.
The Nivala is a brilliant comfortable and hopefully now totally waterproof. Expensive yes but 6 yrs warranty and should last for years.
5 *** for Sportsbikeshop.co.uk

Great jacket recommended by Birmingham sales assistant, so glad I took their advice, comfortable rain or shine, like the thermal layer works well, did have a leak on left arm at the elbow, SBS were fantastic, sent a loan jacket and sent mine back to Rukka for repair (3wks), on return no leak's observed in heavy downpour - love this jacket & trousers

Great service from Sportsbikeshop, as always, good advice. It's an expensive jacket but as a blood bike rider I'm out in all weather's so it's an investment in comfort and safety.

Think they have missed nothing with this jacket, hidden chin / mouth cover was a nice surprise...

I had been hanging my nose over this jacket for a good while. Read loads of reviews and decided to pop in and try it on for size. Called in to the Birmingham branch where the staff were super friendly and helpful and set me up with the correct size jacket. Showed me alternatives should I wish to spend less and also explained where the money was going. Was going to buy in store but was unable to do it on PayPal interest free credit so came home and did it online. To my surprise it arrived the following day! I've only worn this on the bike a couple of times, with the matching trousers, and have to say that it's so comfy I feel I could ride all day! The suit feels very cool in the sun but doesn't feel like wind is coming through where it shouldn't. Haven't worn it in the rain so can't comment on the waterproof values. What I can't stress enough is the overall comfort. Even with the oversized body armour it just feels like a normal jacket. Really looking forward to my euro trip next year

I wore this jacket the other day and when I was out there was a tremendous down poor, and when I arrived home the only part o me that got wet was the top of my neck. This could possibly been down to me maybe not fastening the collar correctly. I know that they are expensive but I would definitely recommend them if you can afford them

The Nivala is expensive, it sits at the top end and is a similar price to other high end gear. It has been a huge seller for Rukka and for good reason, it is light, warm and very comfortable (probably the most comfortable shell jacket available), the armour is excellent and again very comfortable, the jacket has been criticised for "only" having a single A rating for abrasion, bear in mind this score is the result of lab testing, I can't find a single report of the jacket being inadequate in a crash. I have worn it in torrential rain and was totally dry with the exception of a wet left arm, I can only assume that the vent zip was very slightly open, my right arm was fine as was the rest of me, I'm not overly concerned, it is not a known issue and if it happens next time I'm sure SBS will rectify it. I've said this before but I don't think SBS leave enough time before asking for review, it's not long enough to form a properly considered opinion.

I'm an all year round biker and this jacket is the tool for the job ..yes it's a bit pricey but it's worth every penny

This Jacket is an investment so the heavy price works out in the long run. You are actually buying two jackets, the inner duck feather top is wearable on its own and is a very well made and designed garment. The main Jacket ticks every box, Comfort, safety and of course rain proof.
If you are looking for the best this is it.

Love the jacket. Comfortable, warm and, with the A-rated armour, offers a great sense of security. I particularly love the down-filled inner jacket which kept me warm on the first ride.
Worth the price--highly recommended.

This jacket is very comfortable to wear. It has a duck feather inner jacket than can be worn on it's own and makes the whole outfit very warm and waterproof.

Has a chest protector and back protector plus level 2 armour in the shoulders and elbows.

I bought this to replace the Nivala 1 jacket and find it just as good if not better performing, but then you would hope so as it is an expensive jacket.

Comes with a six year warranty.
