Will be posting up my Rukka suit (forget the name of it and can't look now) for sale shortly if that's of any use....
whatever happened to a simple pair of shitkickers, welly socks, jeans, a thick jumper, (optional newspaper stuffed down the front if it's abit cold) short scratchy scarf, perhaps a leather jack topped off combat jacket..?... (which inflated nicely at speed) shitty non insulated gloves and a scratched up crash helmet that has seen a bit ot tarmac on several occassions....... (but seemed ok)
The new Richa laminate suit's going to very hard to beat at 500 quid all in, half your budget and leaves a packet for fun stuff. Motolegends have a video out about it.
I have just realised this over the weekend while doing my YouTube research for a new suit. It's a shame, it ticks all the other boxes.One thing I didn't pick up at first is that that suits vents don't vent to you directly, they have a "membrane" behind the zips IYSWIM. So it'll only be marginally cooler if you have the zips open, and won't get rid of any perspiration inside of the suit.
The zips just gone on my Rukka Armaxion jacket which was a warranty replacement for an older jacket which had faded. I'm looking at the Triumph Malvern which is now half price and has the same Goretex laminate,D30 and Armacour for £300 as it's end of line. I tried one on at a skills day and was impressed with the cut as it was a bit longer and has a good softshell liner and it seems to have everything my Rukka does. I won't be buying a Triumph to become a full kit w anchor but I'm halfway there with the Africa twin lid.
The Malvern looks like a nice jacket, how did you find the sizing/ fit?
I've just got it today and as ever went for tosser standard xxl which was 58 in Rukka world and I find it more tailored with a slimmer cut if that's possible in porky sizes. It's the length of the jacket which was a winner as although in the past I used to go for the longer Rukka size it always felt like a sports jacket. The material is the same as the R. It's also got a decent sized D30 back protector and the soft shell liner is handy. I didn't need the sporty picture on the inside to remind me I'm riding a bike but then I'm grumpy. Overall at this price bang for buck is high I'll just have to see if it lasts as long as the R.
Triumph stuff is great quality and often discounted....
Can you get it without the triumph logo?
