Given that there's a pretty wide range of types of gear that they do, from mesh summer gear to the laminated-shell Gore-Tex Pro heavy-hitters, what do folk mean when they state or claim that "Rukka gear is great"?
Parking for a moment the reported quality issues of the newer Asian-made stuff (these newer Asian-made garments still carry that lauded 5/6 year warranty, don't they?), is it the case that it's only these laminated-shell Gore-Tex Pro garments that have historically been highly regarded? Or is their stuff with Gore-Tex liners (whether removable or fixed) just as good? If you're not choosing one of their laminated-shell Gore-Tex Pro garments, then might you be as well looking at stuff from any other brand?
I had a search here for comments & info on the Flexius jacket, which has recently appeared on my radar, but there's not a lot. It looks like a decent piece of kit, and is much cheaper than even their "cheapest" laminated-shell Gore-Tex Pro jacket, but has a Gore-Tex liner (fixed, IIUC).
