Rukka Kingsley jacket in black in EU50

David: Decent kit

Bought this after a fair bit of research. I was looking for a high quality suit that was weather proof and offered good protection. As Im 604 the option of long trousers on this suit was a major factor in my decision. However its a shame the jacket doesnt have the same option. There are people who are 506 with a 44 chest too. As a result Ive found the sleeves ride up a fair bit and expose my wrists, so I dont get the benefit of the double lock water proof sleeve. I think this is a pretty big flaw. Similarly, it gets a double AA rating, which is why I favoured over the Nivala. However there are much cheaper options attaining AAA ratings. This wasnt a deal breaker but an observation. At this price it should be the pinnacle. The quality is excellent however and the down jacket does a great job at keeping you toasty in the winter. The armour is excellent providing good coverage. Hoping it serves me well.

Rob: Quality

Ive been riding around in a Dainese suit for at least 10 years in all weathers, all year round, and never really thought about how protective it was. Having learned a bit about the levels of protection from the old chap in the cap Ive now realised this drop liner suit was, whilst comfortable, was probably not very good in the event of sliding down the road. Having reached the stage where this suit had lost all of its waterproof abilities, despite re-washing etc, I decided it was time to invest. The Kingsley suit is exactly how its described - quite stiff and therefore super protective, but in a way I appreciate this. Its obviously really well made, and the details are well thought out. Super warm as it should be with the down jackets and trousers - which is important to me as someone of a certain age where my circulation has gone to pot and I feel the cold. Obviously super water-proof too - my commute is regularly an hour, and Im often on the bike for 4 trips a day, and can get up to about 400 miles in a week. Recently the weather has been rubbish - but Ive not been wet or cold, in temperatures down to about 2 degrees here in the sunny north east. I try not to ride in the snow. So - to sum up - yes very expensive, but for me worth it. When you work out how much you pay for this suit over a year - and if you ride a lot in all weathers - it makes total sense. Top service as always from the Motolegends team - and the main mans advice and videos are super helpful.

Mike Denning: Sturdy, solid, safe, suit!

I owned a Nivala suit for 6 years before replacing it with the new Kingsley suit. Its a very sturdy suit that really feels like it will protect you if you are unfortunate enough to need that protection! It feels a little like you could be wearing a leather jacket and that has both good and bad features. The good is the waterproof, wind proof and safety points. The less good is the slight loss of comfort compared to the Nivala. My Nivala was the first time I had ventured into the Rukka brand and this is a different feel due to the lack of elastic fibres in the material. Motolegends are fantastic and they made it very clear that this suit is more typical for Rukka and they stressed it would be a different feel and fit. It is different but after a few months with it I have come to love it. Its full of pockets and reflectors and vents. My only gripe with the general cut is that for my size the neck collar is very high. I am used to it now but it does occasionally impinge on your helmet helmet strap if you are not very definite with the collar velcro fasteners. Thanks Motolegends for your usual level of service. Brilliant.
