Stadler or Rukka

jimbo · Jul 31, 2017

I visited Motorlegends over the weekend to look at spending a small fortune on Rukka Armas (which is now replaced by Nivala I found out)

The salesman made a persuasive case for the Stadler 4all as better in warm weather and generally a slightly better designed suit. some of the details were better thought out than the rukka and better vents.

Anybody have any experience of Stadler? I don't want to just buy Rukka, because of the label, but its a name that gives a degree of confidence when spending well into four figure sums.

I have a Stadler suit that I bought in Germany two years ago. Can't fault it, fit is excellent, Goretex Pro, ventilation is superb.
Having said that I know where there is a Rukka Navigator for sale that has had very little use, size 52 (41 inch) chest. Also trousers to match 34in waist 29-30 in leg, so not tossed size!

The Stadler suit looks like a fine piece of kit to me Jimbo - you will definitely look like a distinctive master in it!

I really like my Rukka kit but the venting really ain't up to the job in the summer...

Aerostitch- used mine for two years still waterproof, easy in easy out, very pleased with it, down side is the trip to Duluth to get it sized.

Arma-s is whole ce approved; Navigator, only armour is ce approved.

Another option is Hideout who do made to measure, and is all ce approved.

The Stadler looks pretty good but

I have to say that the abrasion resistant ceramic beading stuff is not as good as Armacor

I saw Andy's Klim with that stuff on it wear through although it did its job I am not convinced the Armacor would have worn through in the same circumstances

Manufacturers are going with the ceramic stuff as it is way cheaper than Armacor

Now we know why he had his tarmac interface, crash tester for Klim.

I have Rukka Armas for winter and Stadler Airdraft Pro which I use in summer. Little difference in quality though Stadler is slightly better. Stadler ventilation is fantastic. Both quality items.
