(I could get the jacket but the trouser isn't available in my size) Quote
Gerontious Posted July 15, 2019 Posted July 15, 2019 Armaxion has come to an end after 6 years or so... they often discount hugely before the revision. get the jacket from one place and the pants from another.. or mix and match.pants I have don't match the jacket.. but they match enough not to make the slightest difference.I would easily have gone for the jacket.. but, my own Rukka jacket is only 9 years old and not even close to the end of its life. I dont need two. Quote

I dont need two. I guess it's true what they say, buying quality does beat buying on budget as they do tend to last longer. I've invested a lot on body armour alone so I'd opted to purchase just standard jackets and trousers to compensate for it for the time being. I'll love to own a quality jacket and trouser set down the road one day. Quote

Gerontious Posted August 8, 2019 Posted August 8, 2019 If I didn't already have a perfectly good suit, I would have gone for this in a flash.. Either jacket or trousers or both. Only problem for me would be the trousers as I need the C3 size. And these were often special order, or limited stock that quickly sold out.I was lucky enough to come across a grey dealer and so paid almost £400 under rrp for my jacket. But I had to take a risk and not get the warranty. Only problem with mine has been the button loops that hold the liner sleeves have broken. No big deal. Even without the original warranty both parts are guaranteed waterproof for life with goretex. And that will always be one of the best reasons for buying this brand.. Or any other that use that material. Quote
BabyD Posted August 8, 2019 Posted August 8, 2019 I have to agree that is a good price, considering what I payed for my nivala set Quote
Joe85 Posted August 8, 2019 Posted August 8, 2019 Still in the occasionally walking past the jacket and stroking it phase. Might put all the gear on and just sit on the sofa for a bit. Quote

Igloo Posted August 9, 2019 Posted August 9, 2019 Are these worth it? Anything better about the new ones? My gear is RST & 6 years old. Time for a new setup... and £850 all in seems a good price.... Quote

Time for a new setup... and £850 all in seems a good price.... Yes.. but bear in mind its not so 'flexible' as to be a summer jacket, its not highly vented.. its designed for winter. spring and autumn. once the weather improves and it gets warm.. you will be putting it away until October.But the plus side is it uses the laminate https://tinyurl.com/y6nftmbf which is the best you can get and has the truly remarkable D30 armour.I will be wearing mine as per usual.. but also bringing my FC Moto summer jacket to the eifel.. necessary if its anything like as hot there as it was the past couple of times.

Igloo Posted August 9, 2019 Posted August 9, 2019 I have my highly ventilated gear I bought last time. I need something warm & water proof. This might just be the ticket. Quote
The GOAT Posted August 11, 2019 Posted August 11, 2019 I'm tempted for the Jacket having sold my Armas with the leaky pants.Just missed this utter bargain on ebay https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/RUKKA-KALIX-Jacket-and-Trousers-/283565749114?nma=true&si=P4SwbIwds0LJqi6hfPXbrSUL2tA%253D&orig_cvip=true&nordt=true&rt=nc&_trksid=p2047675.l2557 Quote

Igloo Posted August 29, 2019 Posted August 29, 2019 I got stupid busy at work and missed this... But, I think Rukka next year is a definite for me.This year i've shamelessly done less than 1000 miles... Which isn't good Quote
