Rukka Armadillo GoreTex Pro Shell Jacket

Product Information

This is the lowest price point in which you'll find the GoreTex Pro Shell in the Rukka range. The GoreTex Pro Shell consists of three layers, the thin inner comfort lining, then the GoreTex, then the fabric outer; these are bonded together to make one complete outer skin. This means that no water can be absorbed by the shell of the jacket and so it wont become heavier when wet and most of the water will run off the jacket before it can evaporate.

The Armadillo Jacket features GoreTex XCR (X-tended Comfort Range) that is 25% more breathable than standard GoreTex to ensure that your own micro climate is kept where it should be throughout a wider range of weathers.

The outer fabric is Cordura 500 so is highly abrasive resistant, however the Armadillo Jacket has another trick up its sleeve (and I do mean that literally!). In the key areas down the arms and back there is an innovation called Armacor which is where every forth strand of the Cordura weave is Cordura wrapped Kevlar making the abrasive resistance as good as leather! That combined with Rukka's CE approved RVP Air armour make this one of the most protective textile jackets you can buy. The outer skin of the Armadillo jacket has been treated with TFL Cool Black. TFL Cool is a process by Dow Corning that causes the fabric to reflect heat rays from the sun reducing its temperature by up to 25%.

The armour used is another innovation from Rukka, their Patented RVP Air Protection offers CE approved protection that is 100% breathable and completely flexible. This flexibility means that in the case of an accident the contact patch with the ground can be increased by up to 100 times compared with conventional armour meaning that there is less damaged caused to the outer skin of the jacket and more importantly less damage to you.

Plenty of adjustment is available on the arms, wrists and waist, these combined with the flexible armour and neoprene collar ensure that maximum comfort is on offer.
