Rukka Nivala 2.0 jacket in black / black Product Information
The Nivala 2 jacket has much in common with its predecessor. It is constructed using a 3-Layer Gore-Tex Pro-Shell laminated fabric. Waterproofing simply doesn’t get better than this. The main zip is an Aquaseal zip; and as a further barrier to water ingress you also get a storm flap. Neoprene lines the jacket’s collar, and this serves two purposes. It aids comfort at the neck, but also serves to catch any rain trying to enter the jacket. Finally, the jacket features GTX cuffs that stop any water getting up the sleeves and into the gloves.
Like the original Nivala, the new version also uses a stretch fabric, making it extremely comfortable to wear both on and off the bike. Highly abrasion-resistant Armacor features at the elbows and shoulders for added strength. The armour in the elbows and shoulders is Level 2, D30 XTR. As is the back protector. You also get a Level 1 chest protector.
Venting is also in pretty plentiful supply, with vents on the shoulders and arms, across the back and up the flanks.
Like its predecessor, the Nivala 2 comes equipped with a 90% duck down/10% duck feather inner jacket. This doesn’t clip into the outer jacket, and can be worn as a standalone jacket off the bike. This side of something powered by the bike’s battery, a down jacket is the warmest thing you can wear on the bike. The jacket can be folded into a small pouch when it’s not in use.
There’s an integrated neck collar that serves to both reduce the effects of wind chill and to catch the rain as it rolls off the helmet and tries to enter the collar of the jacket. You get two front, hand-warmer pockets and a pocket at the back of the jacket. It would be best to consider these pockets as water-resistant rather than waterproof. There are two properly waterproof pockets inside the jacket.
In Europe, Rukka’s jackets are only warranted for two years, so if you order this jacket from a European seller that is the only warranty you will get. Only if you buy the jacket from a UK seller will you enjoy the full six-year warranty.
The jacket that comes with a zip that will allow it to be zipped into any Rukka, or Halvarssons, pant. The jacket is available in continental sizes 46 (36” chest) up to 66 (56” chest).

Donna MacLeod: He reckons that it is the best gear he has ever had!!
Good choice of motorcycle clothing which does what it says on the box My husband came back from a run where there was heavy rain and wind. His description was that it couldnt have been any wetter had he been drenched by firehoses. This jacket didnt let a drop of rain in.
MP: Excellent
I purchased this jacket and the matching trousers. I use the suit for longer distance rides on all roads and for when the weather turns messy. AutumnWinter. Well designed. Plenty of protection. Comfortable to wear and not as bulky as other outfits. I have found myself wearing the jacket on its own with a pair of jeans more this summer due to it comfort . Would I recommend it - Yes it is well worth the investment.
Brodie: Quality Investment
After some deliberation decided to take the plunge with investing in the Nivala 2.0, the jacket suits me perfectly and ticks all the boxes for what I was looking for. The price is a hurdle to overcome but the quality of materials used and attention to detail is faultless and with a guarantee to boot nothing came close for what I was looking for. Motolegends delivery and service was excellent, I tried everywhere to find the jacket in my size including SBS but Motolegends was only Co to have in stock.
