Laminated membrane

Laminated membrane motorcycle jackets are the best option for high mileage daily commuters or big distance tourers. A laminated jacket is where the membrane is basically heat sealed to the inside of the outer fabric of the jacket. This makes the jacket inpenetrable to water. It will never wet out; it will dry quickly and where there are vents they will allow air direct to the body for most effective venting. The very top of the tree for a laminated jacket in the motorcycling arena is a 3 layer Goretex Pro membrane which we stock from companies such as Klim, Rukka, Stadler, Belstaff and more recently even Richa.

Interestingly, new for 2024, Rukka is now working with a non Goretex waterproof membrane to offer a more value driven laminate product. We will be interested to see how the Rukka Kemi performs.

Klim Latitude jacket in stealth black

Steve T: Good jacket so far

Bought this as a replacement for a Halvarssons one which after 5 years was no longer waterproof. As I ride all year round this isnt an option. I baulked at the cost of Rukka Nivala and had fancied the Rukka Kimi but got 20 off the Klim so went for that. Since then I have ridden about 1000 miles including a wintry ride from Gloucestershire to Northumberland and back. It has been fully waterproof and windproof too. Combined with decent base and mid layers I was warm too. My only negatives are the cuffs dont open wide enough to fit winter gloves underneath and the endsof the sleeves are very stiff and dig in a bit. Otherwise a really good bit of kit.

Rukka Kemi jacket in black

LT: Rukka quality

I watched multiple reviews of this jacket. The Motolegends review is excellent. Realistically I dont need a laminate jacket, but I prefer the way they feel to a drop liner jacket. As far as the Gore-tex argument goes. I am sure they stand by the lifetime guarantee but its a big price hike for something that realistically I am unlikely to ever take advantage of. The Kemi comes with a level 1 back protector so I bought a level 2 one. I switched the level 1 armour to an Alpinestars jacket that came with no protection. I also bought the Rukka down jacket. Both of these are highlighted by Chris as things the Nivala benefits from. For me the Kemi is excellent value for money. Its windproof, waterproof, well armoured and comfortable.
