New 2017 Rukka Nivala Motorcycle Jacket Black/Orange
The Nivala is Rukka's new top-of-the-range suit that effectively replaces the Armas. Like the Armas, it is the most expensive outfit in their textile line up.
The new suit used all the same technology that you find in all the company's other laminate suits, but there's a much greater emphasis on comfort and livability. The outer shell, as you would expect, is a three-layer Gore-Tex Pro, so you're not going to get wet, and the suit will dry out rapidly.
The other area in which the Nivala signals a departure from the past is in it's approach to ventilation, with vents on the shoulders and two long two-way zips up the flanks.
On the jacket you get extensive use of Armacor panels for extra abrasion resistance, and all the armour is CE approved, including the included chest protector. The main zip is a waterproof YKK Aqual Seal zip. You get GTX cuffs, volume adjusters on the sleeves, waterproof pockets, neoprene in the collar, a Gore-Tex neck protector, and so on.
It's pretty much the same kind of story with the trousers. In addition, there's Rukka's AntiGlide systems in th seat, leather patches inside the knees, vents on the thighs, adjusters and waterproof pockets.
Obviously the trousers can be attached to the jacket by zipping them together.
