The time has come to replace some of my gear. I ride my GS predominantly from late Spring to early Autumn, i.e. in temperatures from ~10 to ~35 degrees. I mostly ride on-road, with an occasional off-road detour. I am looking for a premium quality jacket and considering different brands and models. I would like it to combine:
From Rukka, I pre-selected the Exegal jacket. Does anyone here have it and can share their opinion? It technically doesn't tick absolutely all boxes, as comes in-stock with just a Level 1 back protector, however that can be replaced easily.
Also, is anyone capable of summarizing the key differences between Exegal, Shield-R, Realer, Offlane and Rimo-R models? They all seem very close to me, both functionality- and price-wise (with exception of Offlane & Rimo-R).
Are there any other models, also from other brands, I should consider?
PS. For temperatures >25 degrees I am looking for a separate jacket, e.g. Rukka StretchAir or Rev'it Tornado.
- best-in-class protection i.e. level 2 elbows, shoulders and back protectors (no level 1)
- high comfort, durability and not being too heavy
- weatherproofness
