Thanks for the tape tip! I have been having sun issues this late in the fall

Most important consideration is getting the helmet to fit you. I have tried arai many times but can't find one that fits well. Shoei just fits my head.. However, I recently switched from neotec 2 to agv tour modular. Largely because again the AGV fits my head better. The quality is not quite on par with the shoei but it is also hundreds less. Also I like the agv because it's a cardo integration.. I do wish shoei had more locations that did the super custom fit service.

Tried buying but PayPal not working.

Nxr2 is a great helmet but I don’t i just don’t like the built in intercom option they offer. It looks quite bad. Nowhere near how GT-Air 3 built in intercom looks. Hope they update it at some point.

Please call them trousers, or maybe start wearing a cowboy hat 😜🤣

Thanks for taking the time to make this video. It is very informative and common sense is the key. Ride safe

The C5’s visor is dog 💩. I’ve had 2 visors replaced and to try and get the pinlock to work is hit and miss. It’s not just me google it the C5 has had a lot of issues with this. Build quality is poor compared to what I’m used to (Arai / Shoei). Won’t buy another schuberth my next flip will be a Shoei.

Great honest video Chris. Please keep ‘‘em coming.

I once crashed a bike at Donnington doing about 130mph wearing a Crowtree leather suit. I got up and walked away with only a small friction burn on my elbow where the armour had moved. Depends how you ride and where I suppose.

Chris, Chap in the Cap. Love your videos. But, every time you mispronounce KLIM, it stands out to me. KLIM is pronounced like “clime” as in climate. I expect you have gotten this feedback before. Here’s a video from KLIM where the company founders pronounce the name of their firm correctly. kzbin.info/www/bejne/qpO2k5p5ediWadUsi=Ak7i5Ygzq2_o1Ri3 Sorry to be picky, but I am sure credibility is important to Motolegends and pronouncing the name of one of your key product lines correctly can only be a good thing.

Rukka have issues with honouring warranties. A good friend of mine had the zip go on his Nivala jacket in under two years. Tran Am turned down his claim because when they examined the jacket they found a small hole in the sleeve of the jacket and this , even though it had no bearing on the zip failure, was enough for them to refuse the claim. That's one person who won't buy Rukka again.

Great informative videos, but please stop saying’Chap in the cap’ I cringe every time I hear it. Apart from that brilliant

17:55 WTF are you talking about with "no downsides to flip-up helmets"?!? The two things that disqualify flip-ups for serious riding are: #1 - Safety - the hinged jaw is far more likely to fail than the one in full-face. Not to mentioning user-error susceptibility not closing the latch properly. After you've went on a long rant about sh!tiness of open-face helmets few minutes earlier, it's really weird that few minutes on suddenly it's not a non-issue for you. #2 - Weight and bulk - the hinge system has to necessarily add weight and bulk to the helmet, causing poorer balance and more fatigue. So again - WTH are you on about?

Unfortunately Shoe doesn't fit my head shape in the way that KYT does.

I got one 1984. Best l have ever had, by a lot. I work in the industry and have worn over 40 by now. You just do not get wet in a Rukka. You can sweat a lot in one.

Good info. and considerations. Well explained.👍

Great review - now I know what's going on!

I am a lady and have had two Shoei NXR helmets as they come in xxs, they have been fantastic helmets. Next year I will need to replace one so will go for a PSF fit on a new NXR2.

Been using our LS2 Valiant II both on our VFR 800 as well as Tiger 800. Why we chose this particular helmet is that the chin bar goes back 180* almost all the way to the back, and not just halfway like many other modular helmets, which causes some backwards drag when open. And when coming off a freeway into a town like setting is awesome, changing from a full face to an open face helmet. Greetings from South Africa.

Marrakesh jacket is completly sold out in Europe (esp. M and L sizes) and for quite long time...what's going on? Buying it from Motolegends...there are customs fee, etc...tnx Brexit )

I’m so confused

"Buckle up" he said. "Ooh, I'm in for a good one" I thought - and I wasn't disappointed. Knowledgeable, to the point and exquisitively delivered. Thank you.

That was a lot of info on my favorite brand , they only downside on modular helmets , for me anyway, is the weight, but I’m sure if I wore one for awhile I’d get used to it!!

Modular helmets are actually so much worst in accidents. A lot of EMTs say that it's almost as bad as a half shell or open faced helmet because it gives way when you hit the floor

Biased preferential, probably because of higher markups.

Try saying Rukkakurapuku three times quickly. I haven't had a Rukka suit since I was like 6 or 7 (here they are mostly known for their kids' rain-wear) and now that I started riding at 35 I'm definitely looking to get some Rukka gear. They have an obvious home turf advantage here in Finland because it rarely gets too warm for laminated gear so it almost works as an everyday wear. It's nice to see Rukka appreciated globally.

Which helmets "dig in" when they hit the ground? 🧐

Would you recommend a premium flip up helmet even for street/naked bikes which are also used for commuting in warm areas?

For me, leather is so much more comfortable to touch than most other materials

I don't understand the negativity towards the Stadler suit. You sold me one a couple of years ago and it is the best I have had - really comfortable and well fitting. It feels incredibly secure and well made. Jacket ventilation is pretty good with all the vents open although I admit the trousers could do with more. I have an older Rukka Navigatorr suit and I much prefer the feel and fit of the Stadler which was also notably less expensive (but not cheap) than the Rukka kit at the time.

My partner rides pillion and we ride in all but the depths of Winter. She has a problem of always eventually feeling cold, even in the summer. I’m sure there are many men and women that are the same. We bought a top range Rukka with both the down trouser and puffer jacket to wear underneath. She’s never been cold or wet since and, the heated gear only now required if we head north into Scandinavia. Unlike Chris, I’m not qualified to give an expert opinion and rattle the troops, but what I can say is that we were given the right advice and the problem was fully resolved 👍😎

Great video as always Chris. A bit of topic but as you mentioned Scott's id like to add that i purchased Scott's jacket and pants on your recommendation and it was the best purchase ive ever made.iv never been drier. Its so good i wear that while i work. I work on building sites and could be in the rain all day. Scott's work perfectly. However i think Scott's have missed an opportunity. Scott's jackets don't have huds or pockets for obvious reasons but they should provide a hat to match the jacket for those of us who don't only use there gear for riding in. Dog walkers etc would probably love a hat thats made from same material as the jacket and pants. Why stop there! Gloves too, not riding gloves just walking around waterproof gloves

She . making things up go back to kindergarten

Thanks, chap in a cap.

Thank you for the quality and clarity of your content

Beautiful, it's true ❤

If you can afford a custom built for you only Aerostich in Duluth Minnesota. Off the rack I would not know. So info us up.

Rukka kit is generally good quality. Where the problem begins is if you have an issue with a garment. You are then at the mercy of their importer (TranAm/Bikerheadz). Rukka and TranAm have poor customer aftercare. I was in the trade, dealt with them both, and won’t be buying Rukka again.

I have the Nivala 2 and what he says, when he’s not bitching to @bennetts_bike , simply does not apply to everyone. I am warm & very dry in winter rain, and never hot in uk summer temps with it on and a T shirt as the vents are very effective. As for hotter euro clims, i take it too for poor weather and next day it is totally dry and ready again and if its hot hot out comes my knox mesh jkt. I also feel good about the large armour in Rukka. Generally, he misses the point if Rukka being ready the next day after a downpoor the previous day. But there again, im sure his Scott clothing sales is paying him well…

Excellent presentation / content , liked a subscribed hope to purchase from you soon .

I love my staddler which I purchased off your good selves. I find it as comfortable as my rukka

if too hot i just take the internals out.if in spain i wear my hot summer gear

Great video! But is there a reason why the Held Phantom gloves were not reviewed?

ive got Rukka and its the best thing i vere bought

Ive used Dainese textile goretex for many years, its top notch

I use the Rukka Comfo-R and it is pefect for me. Ride all year round in the south of Sweden. When it gets really hot I use the Klim Marrakesh.

Sorry. You should not be making excuses for ￡1000 Jackets being single A rated. Big armour is no substitute for a decent jacket chassis. I won't be buying another Rukka until they significantly raise their game. We should be demanding 4A and 5A tests in the next regulation updates.
