I don't wish to be a neigh-sayer , but your Armas was one of the few Rukka garments to use Superfabric on top of Armacor. Generally, Rukka's more recent products have been downgraded from Superfabric to Armacor. The latter is well-marketed but far less abrasion-resistant than Superfabric (depending on which Superfabric is used).Having crashed at 70 mph into a dead horse I can assure you my rukka armas performed brilliantly,the super fabric and armour did its job
Yes, I imagine the massive Rukka XTR protectors offer good abrasion resistance if the suit remains sufficiently intact that the armour doesn't budge. Australia's Deakin University found motorcycle clothing often (20-30% of the time) holes in real-world crashes. However, they found the armour prevents abrasion injury. But if the suit abrades too severely, it loses integrity and can't hold the armour in position.Surely the massive Rukka D30 armour at the normal sliding places kind of protects you? Even if the exterior (pretty strong) fabric degrades, you are still sliding on 20mm of D30?

I guess it means we should all buy gear that fits snugly so the armour can't budge in a crash – a reason why made-to-measure gear can be safer.

And then Motolegends will beat it by another 10%.
So you can save 30% on Rukka etc.
Obviously Rukka is utter shite, as I read it here
Have to say, thank you for posting this. I had just bought a Nivala 2.0 suit from SBS for £1719.98 and was able to return it and get the same one from MotoLegends for £1547.98!
I expect my next textile suit will be a BKS bespoke one.
The new BKS 100SX textiles look outstanding. Considering the BKS and Hideout Hi-Pro textiles are made-to-measure and über-protective, it’s hard to make a case for similarly-priced Rukka that’s considerably less protective.
had them a few months nowwhich is the very route i've decided to go down just one piece at a time starting with the Salopettes
i wish I’d had done it sooner i might not be so disappointed
