Morning all, I am looking at possible purchase of some Rukka Armaxion trousers and have 2 questions: 1) What is the sizing like? I had a pair of Dainese Gore-tex but they must have shrunk in the rain as the 52 (Euro sizing) didn't fit my 36" waist; but I know that Italian sizing often comes up smaller. 2) Are they worth the money or is there something of a similar price that could be better (about £500 ish)? They must be Gore-Tex and come in a short leg please - so what would you recommend and what size for a English 36"? Thanks.
54 would be a 36in but spending that kinda cash you really need to try them on and if poss sit on your bike to be sure.. Infinity were having a sale recently
Thanks for the quick reply Pete. The Infinity price is the same price as the ones I have seen - but good to have options. I do agree about the try on but distance selling regs are good in the UK. Very much appreciated.
You need to visit a shop in person imho, even if you use an online retailer for the purchase. Where are you based?
I am in Loughborough but work in Nottingham. JS has limited stock as it looks like they are a discontinued style. If I was going Italian I would go 54's but tempted to go 52
Moto central currently is the localist I know of to you. Half way down the m69 off at the A5 junction bud' What I have done is get nice jacket & two sets of trousers, one is a size larger for when I'm in winter clothing. And if you are riding in winter take a jumper along to try on before the jacket, to check things out fully.
Thanks guys. Gun... - I always take the liners out and never use them and just wear skiddies and a shirt/T shirt under the M/C clothes. Even when I stop and want to cry at the pain in my fingers due to the cold, I will not have more than 1 layer on. Bradders - Spot on advice me thinks. My better half is always sending or taking things back. Us blokes tend to buy and that is the end of it. The other half always seem to get loads sent, try it on, and send most back.
Looked at a pair of Rukka Armaxion trousers today. I didn't like them, so off the list. The guy in the shop said that 36" was 56?
