We are a Rukka main dealer. If you have any queries or issues with your Rukka (whether you purchased in this country, or abroad or even planet Mars), me (Jono) will fight and make sure that your Rukka is sorted. I wear the steel kit and LOVE RUKKA!!

The inside lining of my pants split, i rang Rukka. They sent me a short leg pair of loan pants (my size) while repairing mine and i didn't cost me a penny!

I am one VERY happy chappy.

right how many miles do you do before you wash and tumble dry you suit
do you use soap flake powder or daz
daz kills gore tex
when you bought jacket did the rep advise on how to wash.
rukka will and send a pair of pants or jacket while your is being checked
as for enduro boots i wear tech 10 and steel pants and yes there r a pain ,but there r for road boots not crosser or enduro boots you should have been advised daytona do a nice mid enduro type boot and will fit in rukka steel pants me ordered a pair
information helps make the right choice before spend the cash

yes the rep told me how to wash them....first time i went out in suit it leaked jacket and trousers sent it back asked for loan suit as i was promised only to be told cant have one as they dont keep my size in stock to loan me one, ...i am a size 62. this was george whites in london ....it was not the shops fault they have been great( they got so pissed off with rukka stopped selling them now), only good thing is air vantage jacket wear that all the time, dont get me wrong i loved the idea of a suit that you could wear all year and in any weather, but for me it just didnot live upto its name, mind you that didnot stop me buying the £140 gloves so far so good with them.

there's no warning not to use daz in my rukka's care label.

just how does daz kill gore tex?

my rukka gets washed in fairy non bio 'cos that's what's in the box by the machine, it doesn't leak.

Cookie, normal washing powder clogs up the pores in the gortex.

so why doesn't it say that on the label? i understood it was conditioner that caused the problem anyway.

edit: i just looked on rukka's website
