Rukka Hybrid-R jacket review

The Rukka Hybrid-R jacket is the top half of a suit that has been created by the Finnish company in an attempt to deliver the comfort of the Rukka Nivala suit with the AA abrasion-resistance rating of their Kingsley outfit. And indeed, the Hybrid-R does meet the AA standard under EN 17092. First off, let's go through all of the basic stuff that you would expect to find on most Rukka jackets. You get a 3-layer, Gore-Tex Pro membrane. So you are going to enjoy the motorcycle industry's highest levels of waterproofing and breathability. Being laminated, you won't suffer from 'wetting out'. And as the membrane is supplied by Gore, it will be guaranteed for life. You get a five-year warranty on the jacket, as you do on all Rukka motorcycle clothing, extendable to six years, provided you register before the ink on your till receipt has had time to dry! You get Neoprene in the collar, and a storm collar sewn into the neck. Gore-Tex cuffs. Zips at the ends of the sleeves with Velcro flaps. A Velcro adjuster at the waist. Lots of reflective material. And loads of vents. In fact, you get ten of them. You get two, external, water-resistant pockets on the front. And two on the inside. The Hybrid does not have a pocket on the back. You have a connecting zip, and a crotch strap for when you're not wearing a Rukka pant. The Hybrid-R comes with huge, highly-vented, Level 2 D3O armour in the elbows, shoulders and back. And the important word here is 'huge'. Made exclusively for Rukka by D3O, it is larger than the armour you'll find in any other brand, with the exception of Stadler perhaps. Now the reason the size of the armour is so important is threefold. First, the larger the area, the greater the chance that, if you do hit something, that something will impact upon the armour. The second is that the larger the armour the greater the area over which the energy of an impact will be dissipated, lessening its direct force. And thirdly because armour is more abrasion resistant than any fabric from which a garment is constructed, the larger the armour, the greater will be a garment's level of abrasion resistance. The Hybrid comes with a Level 1 chest protector. The way it attaches to the Hybrid is easier than with other Rukka jackets, by the way. The Hybrid comes with the Lahti as a removable, thermal liner. The Nivala and Kingsley come with Rukka's Down-X 2 jacket. Being filled with real down, the Down-X will be warmer both on and off the bike. At retail, it costs £90 more than the Lahti, however. The Hybrid-R comes with a fixed Outlast lining, but we are never massively keen on a fixed Outlast lining in a laminated jacket, because it will impede the direct-to-body airflow when the vents are open. So let's now talk about comfort, because that's one of the key issues here. On the Hybrid-R jacket you get stretch fabric across the chest and down the insides of the arms. These are the Zone 3 areas that are considered to be less at risk, under EN17092 when it comes to abrasion. You also get the concertina banding behind the shoulders that makes it easier for you to bring your arms forward to the bars. And it is these areas of stretch that make the Hybrid-R more comfortable than the similarly AA-rated Kingsley, but almost certainly less comfortable than the single-A rated Nivala.
