Rukka Down-X down underwear
Rukka Down-X
Tried down underwear
Useful, practical and so cozy and warm: This is Rukka’s Down-X down combination, which can be worn under a motorcycle garment if its thermal output is insufficient or no longer sufficient.

Both jacket and trousers are filled with 90 percent high-quality down and only 10 percent cheaper feathers – which you can feel directly when you wear them. The combination is extremely light and provides an extremely cozy warmth that other materials cannot generate so quickly. The underwear unfolds its greatest effect when the combination worn over it is not too tight and the down has some space to develop its insulating effect.
Amazingly flexible and stretchy
It is practical that jacket and trousers can be stowed in small bags to save space. Their dimensions are then only 23 x 12 cm each and are very light at 300 grams. The pants have tight-fitting stretch inserts made of skin-friendly material on the shins. It fits perfectly and lets every pair of motorcycle trousers slide smoothly over them. The jacket, which can also be converted into a vest, is attractive enough for pure leisure use. It is also hard-wearing, amazingly flexible and stretchable.

Buyers have to invest 298 euros for both parts.
Despite three months of intensive use, the down combination shows hardly any signs of wear, and the feathers also stay where they belong. That speaks for the materials used and makes the prices of 179 euros for the jacket and 119 euros for the pants seem appropriate. Especially since everything is of high quality. Particularly pleasing: The practical down combination is now also available as a women’s model (Down-Y).
Noticed positively: great insulation effect, pack size
noticed egatively: Space requirement (under a station wagon)
Sizes: 46 to 60
Price: 179 euros (jacket), 119 euros (pants)
MOTORCYCLE Rating: 4.5 stars out of a possible 5
