On the road in comfort and safetyThe Rukka ArmaX is going to excite even the most demanding riders. Made of Armacor, it not only offers maximum protection but also maximum breathability. Due to the Gore-Tex XCR membrane, the motorcyclist benefits from a suit which is 25 per cent more breathable than those containing the previous Gore-Tex membrane. Additio-nally, the membrane ensures a shorter drying time of the internal layers. Moisture that has collected in the jacket from extreme physical exertion will be conducted outside about twice as quickly, the rider benefits from a lasting, pleasant wearing climate. Additional air vent lids with rubberized zips admit cooling headwind on particularly hot days.
Soft neoprene on the ArmaX jacket's collar also contributes to the great wearing comfort, ensuring a pleasant and tight closure on the neck. To prevent draughts into the collar, ArmaX has an additional, removable elastic Gore-Tex neck warmer that reaches up to the helmet and also contributes to reducing wind noise.
A soft elastic Gore-Tex cuff inside the sleeves ensures a perfect link between jacket and gloves and protects against the headwind and humidity.
A removable inner jacket with thermal and Outlast lining manages to expand the thermal range within which this jacket plays off its comfort advantages even further. The Outlast fabric ensures an efficient temperature balance, contributing to the garment's high wearing comfort. An 80g thermal lining warms the rider on cold days. The treatment of the outer material of the trousers and the black jackets with the novel TFL CoolBlack reduces the surface temperature in intense solar radiation and keeps the rider cool.
The ArmaX suit's design reflects these convincing intrinsic values. The belt, until now a regular fixture of almost any Rukka jacket, is not applied. Instead, elastic Gore-Tex inserts in the sides ensure a perfect fit. The reflective stripes have a modern styling, signalling innovative practicality.
Altogether, ArmaX has seven generously sized pockets, four on the outside with a new, diagonal cut as well as three pockets on the inside, one with an integral cell-phone compartment.
The ArmaX trousers are also made of high quality Armacor XCR. A waist adjuster on each side and removable braces guarantee a perfect fit at all times. The braces come as standard, but the trousers can also be worn without them. They are not buttoned but have double Velcro fasteners.
To eliminate annoying slippage on the motorcycle's seat, the trousers feature an Antiglide-Keprotec coating on their bottoms. The Rukka AirCushion System on the inside contributes to greater wearing comfort, acting as a climate buffer to counter condensation of moisture. Two spacious outside pockets with rubberized zips provide storage for numerous accessories.
Like the ArmaX jacket, the trousers are equipped with a removable thermal and Outlast lining.
Rukka introduces a black/yellow variation of the ArmaX jacket into the collection 2007, including a fourth attractive colour combination into the line-up. The flashy yellow surfaces on the shoulders and sleeves ensure optimum visibility by day and night, providing an even higher safety level.
