Rukka knee/shin armour.

[midlife]

How many Rukka owners have the annoying occurrence of the rukka knee and shin armour catching on top of your boots and pushing the leg trousers up your leg in a very odd way. Not really a problem and something I can live with, but a little annoying. Any solutions? I have thought of trimming the armour a little?

spot on, the only down side on great trousers, the mesh looks sized to the pocket so I assume if cut would move about and drop down to annoy again, need to find a way to shorten but keep in place, about to switch to summer strides so may have to wait until later in the year!

I have a Rukka Airman jacket, and I'm buying the Airman pants here over the summer. I can tell you that even with the adjustable knee pockets of my Klim pants, this is not a unique problem that only Rukka has. I have the D30 T5 Evo Pro xt pads in my Klim Dakars, I try to put the tip at the top of my sidi adventures so it doesn't try to go in the top of the boot.

I have the Rukka Armas jacket and pants. With Gaerne Balanced oiled boots, I do not have a problem with the armor in the knees or shins riding up. The only armor issue I have is with the knees in very hot and humid weather if I am wearing a very thing base layer pant. The pant tends to bunch up at the knee, and creates a sore spot on my knee cap behind the armor after a long (1000+ mile) day of constant riding.

Best,
