Rukka Jacket - GORE TEX vs pressure washer - J&S Accessories Ltd

Hi are these available at the Birmingham store?

Fantastic product. What a test 😃😀

You enjoyed that Too much Ade.

Which j&s is this?
My local store newcastle has nowhere near this range of rukka

Why didn't you test this with him sitting on a bike. After all that's what position we sit in. This test is great if you don't own a bike!

Hhhmmm... sometimes time in the rain plays a huge part in letting water in. I once had a cheap waterproof jacket and trouser, which did pretty well whenever I was was in the rain for around 20-30minutes. However, any longer than that and I could feel the rain coming in. This test was only for a few minutes, even though it was at high pressure. Would interesting to know what that was equivalent to

Shame my Rukka gear isn't as waterproof as that. Leaked twice within the first 12 months and after today's rain, leaked again. Not from J&S I may add though, just the brand not living upto expectation

Great if you get caught out in a golden shower x

We have to remember these jackets and pants are meant to protect us from rain, wind, the cold, and windshield factor on a motorcycle. These are the top performing jackets on the market. Also, these jackets will allow you to be outside in low temperature weather and snow. Considering the windshield protection, these jackets will perform fantastic when you are off the bike.

Try it while on a motorcycle, water pools on the crotch

What gloves are those please?

Why always black gear 🤔; we need to be seen by others & we dont want to cook in our jacket under the sun!

I have the rukka an mine leaks around the elbow creases and slightly around chest..zip rings/pulleys broke..oh an maine zip ripped at bothom..6yr gaurantee is great but a pain to send back..costly gear...maybe its not made to be out in all kinds of weather for 9hrs a day 5days a wk..in fairness to rukka they replaced the first gear i had an upgraded it to the newer stuff .marine zip1 as the other gear was discontinued leaked afew months later tho..nowadays i wear rain gear over them😩

Good idea for testing the product. Have you done anything to compare gore tex products across the price range rather than just these which are at the top end price wise? Much as I like these, they are out of my price range and it would be great to see how other products fare.

Rukka gore tex 700 pound jacket and 500 pound trousers-after 1 hour in rain sitting on bike you get wet at belly opening of connecting zip with trousers,neck top fabrick gets wet,pockets get wet even closed after some time of use,front main zip warranty replaced after 1 year every day use

I like this model. But I want to buy the 2020 model. There is no navigator in the 2020 Rukka catalog. Which model meets this water resistance feature

Superb!😂😂😂

Great review. It would be good to see some of the lower priced laminates such as the Richa Infinity Pro 2 put through the same test as a comparison.

I'd love to own a set of rukka gear but I just can't afford it. Would be great if you could do a similar test with lower priced gear too

Pressure washer at that distance is simply very mild rain as most of the velocity of the water is lost at that distance.
This is hardly a test, more like a party trick, if you want to impress me keep that pressure washer on for 8 hours and 6 inches away.

hey guys,i have washed my rukka jacket and now it's not as waterproof as it was,how can i get it back to what it was?

Just wish they didn't break filming near end to resume to show result

I ride to work everyday there and back takes 45mins eachway this year it rained heavy for 2weeks straight.... my question is how does it hold up in long periods of rainy days ?

Honestly, sitting down in a shower would be a more realistic test. Pressure washers are big on just that, pressure. But it's the VOLUME of water during the rain and sustained volume that causes water to start to seep into any cracks and crevices...

£25 mountain warehouse waterproof high viz over any bike jacket does the job & is much more visible.

3min blast ???? How real is that 😀😀😀 compare that with 1h driving 120kmh

Now that's a great review

You enjoyed that too much 😂

Well done. Interesting to know but wouldn't a lot of new jackets pass this anyway - regardless of cost?

Too short of exposure time, didn’t prove anything. Also wasn’t much pressure from that nozzle.
