Rukka Nivala Gloves one day only sale

[HGS]

Are Nivala 2.0 gloves are on sale because of the new Imatra 3.0 on the block? Confusingly, they have different product names yet look identical visually.

I’m unclear on the spec. The 2.0 looks like it has only Outlast insulation, whereas the 3.0 has Outlast and Thinsulate.

Also, Rukka states the Imatra 3.0 has Gore Grip, whereas Motolegends’ video says the Nivala 2.0 has a drop liner. But is Motolegends incorrect?

Rukka spec for the Nivala 2.0 is a GORE-TEX® grip

Video on that page seems to describe a bonded or laminated inner - video link lower down

Rukka don't have the Nivala glove on their website, only the Imatra 3.0
Rukka seem to give some of their products different names in the UK to the rest of the world
Take a look on their site, luhta.com, all the jackets are named differently to the UK
No one in UK selling Imatra 3.0 as far as I can see

USA for example

The above video was posted 2 years ago, so the Imatra 3.0 not so new. About the same time the UK distributor shows the Nivala 2.0 for the first time

Looking at the posted pictures on a number of UK and Euro sites, to me, the Nivala 2.0 and the Imatra 3.0 look identical
Without being able to compare on the Rukka site it's impossibel to be 100% sure

The Gore site gives a definition of GoreTex grip gloves

Even though these come with a 2 year warranty from Rukka, the Gore warranty it would seem is better

Motolegends own description states:

For added warmth in cold weather, you get a fleecy lining, but also Outlast. Now Outlast is more of a temperature regulator than an outright insulator, but it can be very effective, and works particularly well with heated grip

Well thanks Victor c, my nice new pair of gloves arrived today, not cheap at half the price, but better value, and I look forward to being able to use them for many years after which £x/nYrs = very good value.

I also snapped up a pair, as i've been on the hunt for a good pair of Winter gloves which are not bulky with too much insulation.

I sized up slightly for 'expansion' for when the hands heat up. They're not big/loose, and fit just about right on the width of the hand & finger length.

When I ordered my gloves as a part of last weekend’s sale, the size 11 displayed as a 7 on the confirmation of order receipt.

I simply sent a mail, pointing out the error. Motolegends replied quickly, confirming that they were aware of the problem and confirmed I’d be receiving size 11.

All was well.

…..to me the name is a bit confusing as you couldn’t use them with a nivala jacket due to the long cuff of the glove & double cuff of the jacket

In case anyone wonders, the glove does fit under the sleeve of the double cuffed Nivala jacket.

I got a pair of 11s. They’re ok, but I’m not sure they’re better than my Dainese which were less than half the list price.
