That RUKKA gear is just a bit pricey.

Anyone rich person want to tell me what their experiences of it are,
similarly Halvarssons

 

The Halvarssons is excellent. It has some unique features to justify the
price. The Rukka is just plain overpriced, there are lots of comparable
products at 2/3 the cost. The H is two jackets and seriously abrasion
resistant. It has a lot of clever design, very warm and very
comfortable.

All being said I feel it's too much money and I only bought it as I
could slush it through the company and save 40%. What size are you?

 

It was a very long time since I had any new Rukka kit but
when I had, it was durable and 100% waterproof for
many, many years. From what I see and hear now, they
seem to keep making good clothes but the price is a bit
silly.

Halvarsson (/JOFAMA/Lindstrands, the same company)
is more of a mixed bag. Usually good value for money
at Swedish prices but the budget models are no better
than the prices suggest. All (AFAIK) sewn somewhere
well east of Sweden with the usual quality control
problems.

 

I can only dream of owning such kit
but one of my mates has the stuff
he got the idea from ex cop on a MAC course
and swears buy it

 

40" jacket, 36" waist trousers.

The prices for the Rukka stuff are very high, I believe the Halvarssons
is slightly less expensive but I've not seen any in the cloth so to
speak, whereas I was at Infinity's the other week and tried on the
Rukka gear.

 

I kinda doubt the Rukka stuff is *more* expensive. If it is they are
seriously taking the piss

 

Got Rukka jacket and I must say its excellent, well worth the dosh.
I can get away with not a great deal underneath it. In the hotter days,
i can unzip the inner thermal layer, and it breaths like a whippet on
heat. All in all its a crackin peice of kit. The trousers were a bit
crap though , designed for someone with a fat gut and skinny legs. SO if
like me you have a fat gut and HUGE legs, then youve got to go way way
up in the waist size. Made do with rst which aint too bad.

Well the gut ain't too bad and the legs are skinny-ish So if I can
forget the price I wouldn't regret it. Maybe.
