Rukka's new lower back protector is said to combine the benefits of a support belt with the extra protection of a lower back protector, with integrated lumbar protector.
The breathable support belt is made from water-repellent microfibre fabric as well as temperature regulating Outlast. Tested in compliance with the current CE standard EN 1621-2 2014, the protector adds very little bulk and can therefore be worn over or underneath the trousers without impairing mobility. The company says it offers one of the most comprehensive line-ups of protectors on the market today – with all the brand's jackets and trousers equipped with Rukka D3O Air protectors as standard. The air-permeable protectors are very soft and flexible, allowing their protection to multiply through the structure the instant an impact occurs.
Also seen here, their 'Virve' women's gloves “have a perfect grip feel and a unique fit for women's hands”. The X-Trafit technology by Gore includes a three-layer laminate, consisting of the upper material, a wind and waterproof and breathable Gore-Tex climate membrane and a liner. This construction is said to create some great advantages – in rain the gloves do not get soaked, protecting the rider's hands from cooling out and vastly accelerating drying, provide excellent grip and feel, and no more pulling out the liner when taking off the gloves.
They are made from abrasion-resistant Cordura upper material, with visor wiper on the left-hand index finger, touchscreen fingertips for thumbs and index fingers on both gloves, integrated detailing for knuckles, scaphoid and fingers to increase protection, and coated fabric improves grip on the palms.
