I can't believe how bad the quality of this so called 'premium brand' has become. Last year I bought a Cosmic jacket... it's at the upper end of the price range so I would expect it would be up to the task of the daily riggers of motorcycling in this part of the world.
Within a year, all of the frequently used zips broke... two cuffs and finally the main front zip...
So... I sent it off to Rukka, and 2 months later, after quite a few, 'I don't like how long this is taking' emails I finally get a replacement jacket.
Dressed in a nice new jacket and having spent the last two years on a diet of boiled green stuff ( instead of fried brown stuff ) I buy a fresh set of Cosmic trousers... a size smaller.!
I'm feeling pretty smug. Until I go out in the rain... and the smugness is replaced but wetness...
Almost every zip leaks.... after only one hour ride in the rain I can feel the water dribbling down into my boots...
It's utter rubbish... I would have been better going to Aldi or Lidl and buying basic kit...
I can't believe it... I have been wearing Rukka for almost ten years. I had an Argonaut suit that was bomb proof... my mates all have Aramas kit for years and swear by it... until they saw the leaks in mine.
There's a saying.. if you get a reputation for being the early bird then you can stay in bed all day... It appears Rukka is starting to trade on it's reputation.
