Laminated membrane

Laminated membrane motorcycle jackets are the best option for high mileage daily commuters or big distance tourers. A laminated jacket is where the membrane is basically heat sealed to the inside of the outer fabric of the jacket. This makes the jacket inpenetrable to water. It will never wet out; it will dry quickly and where there are vents they will allow air direct to the body for most effective venting. The very top of the tree for a laminated jacket in the motorcycling arena is a 3 layer Goretex Pro membrane which we stock from companies such as Klim, Rukka, Stadler, Belstaff and more recently even Richa.

Interestingly, new for 2024, Rukka is now working with a non Goretex waterproof membrane to offer a more value driven laminate product. We will be interested to see how the Rukka Kemi performs.

Verified customer reviews for Laminated membrane

Rukka Kemi jacket in black

LT: Rukka quality

I watched multiple reviews of this jacket. The Motolegends review is excellent. Realistically I dont need a laminate jacket, but I prefer the way they feel to a drop liner jacket. As far as the Gore-tex argument goes. I am sure they stand by the lifetime guarantee but its a big price hike for something that realistically I am unlikely to ever take advantage of. The Kemi comes with a level 1 back protector so I bought a level 2 one. I switched the level 1 armour to an Alpinestars jacket that came with no protection. I also bought the Rukka down jacket. Both of these are highlighted by Chris as things the Nivala benefits from. For me the Kemi is excellent value for money. Its windproof, waterproof, well armoured and comfortable.

Belstaff Long Way Up jacket in light grey

MNR: QUALITY

LOVELY QUALITY JACKET BUT 2XL PROVED TOO BIG SENT BACK FOR AN XL REPLACEMENT BUT SOLD OUT SADLY.

Rukka Voyage-R jacket in black

ALC: Excellent

Replaced a 20 year old Rukka laminate that was still going strong, this jacket oozes quality. Needs a few rides to bed in but has some great features you wonder how you did without. Usual 1010 service from ML, a pleasure as ever.
