Rukka ladies Kemi jacket in black / gold Product Information

The Rukka ladies Kemi jacket is new for 2024. And in the UK it is exclusive to Motolegends.

For ladies, the Kemi will be a bit of a game changer.  It is equipped with a three-layer, laminated, waterproof membrane. It comes with vents on the chest, at the shoulders, in the arms, up the flanks, and in the back. 

You get volume adjusters on the biceps, lots of pockets, Neoprene in the collar, Velcro straps at the sleeve ends, and so on.
 
The Cordura outer chassis is re-inforced with Armatech panels for extra abrasion resistance at the shoulders and elbows. Now, like the lady Nivala, the Kemi is rated A under EN17092, and it comes with Rukka’s huge armour (Level 1) in the shoulders and elbows, one can suggest with a degree of confidence that, in the real world, the Kemi will outperform most AA-rated jackets from a protection perspective; and most definitely so were you to exchange the jacket’s Level 1 back protector for one that meets the higher Level 2 standard.
 
As with all Rukka jacket’s the Kemi comes with a six-year warranty, once the jacket has been registered with the UK importer.
 
But there are three things that make the Kemi particularly worthy of note.

First, it is incredibly comfortable. And this is largely down to the stretch that is built into the outer chassis of the jacket, in the same way it is with the Nivala and the Comfo-R. We reckon the Kemi's more comfortable even than the vastly more expensive Nivala; this is partly down to the stretch, and partly down to its weight. It is much lighter than the Nivala. In truth, we think the Kemi might just be the most comfortable, waterproof Rukka jacket ever!

The second thing that sets the Kemi apart is that it does not have a Gore-Tex membrane. Now for us that’s certainly not a positive. Gore makes the best membranes. And Gore does not allow the manufacturers it works with to cut corners. You simply cannot make a sub-standard Gore-Tex jacket. Which is why we have often made it clear that if you want a laminated jacket that works you need to go for one with a Gore membrane. But let’s not forget that we are talking about Rukka here. After all these years, they should know how to make a laminated jacket work properly. I think, therefore, that one can be reasonably confident that the Kemi will not let you down.

This having been said, whilst you will get Rukka’s six year warranty that will also cover waterproofing, obviously; you will not benefit from Gore’s lifetime, waterproof warranty. And that is something you will need to take into consideration because the Gore promise is pretty amazing. We have seen it in action, and it stacks up. You will always pay a significant premium for Gore-Tex, but for many high-mileage riders, and for those who ride in the worst of weathers, it is worth the extra outlay.

The Kemi is in every other way a proper Rukka jacket. It will have been built to last. And with its over-sized armour it is going to be incredibly protective. Ultimately, we cannot say whether the Kemi really does represent the best of both worlds, in the way that it appears to. But what is clear is that it is going to make a 3-layer, laminated Rukka outfit more attainable than one has ever been in the past.

As ever, there is no right or wrong. There is no definitive answer. You’re going to have to try one on, and then take a view as to how important it is to have Gore’s warranty.

The EU size 34, 48 and 50 are only available in black with silver stripe rather than gold stripe.
