Rukka's contribution to the Smart Rider's Outfit is the two-piece SRO Suit, combining the optimum of all safety and comfort features available in textile motorcycling apparel today. The upper material consists mainly of the highly abrasion resistant, waterproof and breathable Gore-Tex 3-layer laminate Armacor, whose optimum protection and pleasant wearing comfort were confirmed after independent testing by the German automobile association ADAC.

The suit's sides are equipped with elastic Gore-Tex, enabling the wearer to choose a multitude of riding positions. This is a comparatively new material which, outside of motorcycling apparel, up to now is only used in top quality ski and outdoor fashion.

Apart from Armacor, in some areas reflectively coated Cordura 500 is used to guarantee the wearer maximum visibility at night in other road users' headlights.

The Smart Rider's Outfit's removable inner jacket has an absolute first in motorcycling apparel: AirVantage adjustable Insulation by W. L. Gore Inc. The system consists of two connected breathable and waterproof textile laminates with inflatable air-chambers. A valve located inside the collar allows the wearer to inflate the inner jacket according to his momentary thermal insulation requirements. Prior to riding in cold conditions, for example, it is possible to maximize the AirVantage insert's thermal insulation by fully inflating it.

Should temperatures rise or the rider commence with bodily exercise during breaks, he can deflate the insert fully or partially, thereby reducing thermal insulation as far as he wants. On especially hot days, the inner jacket can be completely removed while maintaining full accident protection. As the 3-layer laminate Armacor has its own Gore-Tex membrane, weather protection is also maintained to 100 percent.

Additionally, the Smart Rider's Outfit features the revolutionary Outlast technology to even out temperature changes, whose functionality managed to convince numerous buyers of the Rukka products APR2, Lady APR2 and Armatech as well as Rukka Outlast functional underwear and accessories during the past season already. Due to so-called phase change materials (PCM) as used in space flight technology, Outlast keeps the micro climate inside the suit at a comfortable balance even under quickly changing thermal conditions. The rider gets hot less quickly and also chills out less quickly if the temperature drops - the best prerequisites for active riders who want to enjoy their hobby without any stress.

But the Rukka SRO jacket has even more innovative and functional details, among them for example the newly designed collar, which is especially high and has a soft neoprene border lining. To be absolutely draft-proof, the Rukka SRO jacket comes standard with a removable, elastic Gore-Tex neck warmer which is zipped into the jacket on the inside.

The same material is used on the inner part of the two-ply sleeve ends which were designed to provide the perfect connection between sleeves and gloves: draft- and waterproof, non-flap and at the same time easy and comfortable to put on. The sleeve ends were optimised for a perfect connection to the Rukka Gore-Tex Outlast gloves, whose short cuffs fit comfortably between inner sleeve and upper material.

The outside pockets' design is a further highlight. For optimum accessibility, they were placed horizontally in the lower chest area. Even without flaps these pockets are completely protected against moisture due to sophisticated waterproof zips. Additional, freely hanging inner pockets help keep things tidy and leave no chance for any water to break in even if the pockets are opened in the rain. An additional smart card compartment, tailored for credit cards, drivers' licences and other computer readable cards, is accessible from the outside. Two inside pockets, one of which equipped with a mobile phone compartment, round off the SRO jacket's storage capacity.

Like the inner jacket, the Rukka SRO trousers' removable lining is equipped with Outlast fabric to even out temperature changes. Below the knees, it is not connected to the upper material, for it is meant to be worn inside the special Daytona SRO boots. The upper material, in contrast, is worn above the boots and thereby prevents water getting into them.

In the seat area, the Rukka SRO trousers feature the Rukka AirCushion System as inner lining. Due to its mesh structure, this innovative material acts as a climate buffer that reduces condensation and thereby enhances riding comfort considerably. On the outside, the Rukka SRO trousers are equipped with Keprotec Antiglide for especially safe grip on the seat.
