thetruck454 Posted May 18, 2017 Share Posted May 18, 2017 I'm looking to upgrade my Dianese air frame. I've narrowed it down to the Klim Induction or the Rukka Allair. Both are $$, but they use D3 armor and claim to flow well yet still be abrasion resistant. I can't really find any testing on either one, but I was curious if anyone has tried either, not sure how well the cordura aft really flows in the Rukka.

cranky Posted May 25, 2017 Share Posted May 25, 2017 I have the induction jacket and the air flow is pretty good. It was my first jacket. I haven't used it since I got my Motoport jacket though, which was about 3 months ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
koth442 Posted May 26, 2017 Share Posted May 26, 2017 I'm curious how abrasive resistant they really are. Anybody go for a slide in one? '15 FJ09 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cranky Posted May 28, 2017 Share Posted May 28, 2017 I saw a bunch of protection pieces at Motoport. I didn't see any Klim jackets or pants though. Most of the jackets ripped ior split. I just bought another pant and jacket, $100 for both, at a swap meet that I need to get sized. When I go, I'll ask if they'll let me take pictures.

raggededge Posted June 6, 2017 Share Posted June 6, 2017 I have the induction. It's a great jacket. Have not tested it though thankfully. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jojosz Posted August 23, 2017 Share Posted August 23, 2017 I ride a Klim Badlands suit. 100k miles. Fabulous ventilation and all weather protection. But it's certainly build for crashing in dirt. I had one minor crash at 20 mph entering a highway ramp in winter - abrasion went through the sleeve + pants were scuffed. Protectors are a bit loose (i am rather slim). Klim just brought a touring version to market which has better impact protection at the critical points. I'll probably switch to it soon. No experience with rukka.

sprocket Posted March 11, 2018 Share Posted March 11, 2018 I just bought a last year's model, Klim Latitude jacket. The quality and functionality of design is amazing. I've worn it plenty as a shell in winter, but not yet on the bike due to winter. I've slid in a prior Olympia jacket, from that experience I would say that any pressure point on the pavement you have will wear through unless you are wearing steel. In my case my weight was on my elbow which was on my chest. Despite wearing through you will be protected by the armor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
