I have the Armiina jacket, not this one, but I wanted to comment on Rukka sizing. I ended up with a jacket one size smaller than my measurements indicated and it fits perfectly and is even somewhat relaxed. The quality of Rukka is outstanding and better than any other jacket, in my opinion. It is very comfortable, as well. Measure, then order one size smaller.
Yes, I recommend this product.

I also own the Adina, but these are my favorite pants for everything. The thermal/rain liner is comfortable and does not change the fit all that much. With the liner, I am warm down to 48 degrees and use heat packs in the zip knee compartments if I'm going long distances at a high speed. The vents at the top of the knee take me up to 85 degrees comfortably. I have used these pants almost everyday for 2 years and someone just asked me if they were new pants. I wash them inside out in a technical laundry soap on cold, dry on low, and they still look brand new. I finally ordered a high quality full suit from another brand for touring, but I really wonder if I will ever stop wearing these.
Yes, I recommend this product.

Icon 1000 El Bajo Boots El Bajo - literally translated it means The Short One. Short perhaps in overall height, but never in performance or steez. Built on the same Goodyear welt bottom unit as its five-buckle Elsinore brother, El Bajo provides all the OG moto-presence but in a reduced two-buckle silhouette. Metal post fasteners, heavy top-grain leather chassis, and reinforced toe box and heel make for a serious piece of riding footwear. The Icon One Thousand El Bajo - always up to the challenge.

This boot is an excellent blend of style and protection. It takes a couple rides to break in the leather up top, but after that, they are 100% comfortable for walking around and riding. In regard to the prior reviews that discuss shifting ability in this boot, just take a look at it. It is a large cruiser style boot, not a racing boot. When I switch to these boots, I know that I will have to swing my foot another inch under the shifter and I adapt within a couple blocks. I love these boots and appreciate the solid construction that covers the toe box. I have had multiple compliments on the boots.
Yes, I recommend this product.

I love these pants as much as D-dry. The one concern I had was temp range, considering that they're Goretex and I wanted them as a winter pant. My first ride was with the thermal layer in, at 52 degrees, at night. I was sweating by the time I got home. Also, the liner is NOT flexible, so if you are between sizes and planning on using for cold weather, size up. These were too snug with the liner. The same size in D-dry pants, with liner, fits me perfectly. Also, the cut on these is more curve hugging, but good looking. Without the liner in, my ride from 52-70 degrees was incredibly comfortable. I would wear them up to 75 degrees before switching over to my vented D-dry's. Nice stretch to these pants, too, while I'm on the bike. I haven't used them in rain, yet, but they have a nice lining inside and I'm confident they will be fine. Worth every penny.

Outstanding pack. I adjusted it to the small level (I'm 5'5") and set up the harness so I can just clip it on as soon as I put it on my back. It is so incredibly comfortable that sometimes I forget to clip it on and realize in the middle of the ride. The main compartment has plenty of space for my assorted tools, an iPad, a pair of shoes and my jacket liner. I used to use the Kriega 20L, which is fantastic for touring: it clips right onto the bike. I highly recommend that bag, as well.

Fit issue
Hi ~ I already wear the Alpinestars Womens Stella Rebel Air-Flo Mesh Jacket with Liner in Medium which fits perfectly. I just received the Alpinestars Women's Stella T-Fuel WP Jacket in size Medium as well and there's definitely an issue with the fit of the sleeve due to the positioning of the elbow/forearm pad. The top of the pad doesn't even hit my arm until below my elbow. When comparing the jackets side by side there is definitely a significant variance in the location of these pads relative to the armpit which leads me to believe I could possibly have received a defective jacket... To account for difference in styling, I measured from the bottom center of the armpit to the top center of the sleeve seam where the center of the elbow pad is aligned-- there is a 3" difference between the two. I'm hoping that the measurements of another T-Fuel jacket can be taken to determine if it is actually defective, or simply a design flaw in which case I'd return for refund-- or different jacket-- rather than exchange for another of the same. Your assistance is appreciated! Thank you!
I have a Stella textile jacket. The pads in my jacket can be moved by going inside the lining through a couple of Velcro tabs up near the chest. They can be adjusted or removed completely for cleaning.

Can this be made into a tail bag?
Not sure if I read it right on some websites, but is it possible to make this into a tail bag? Does it come with Tail bag attachments?
There are no separate tail bag straps, but you can easily use the 3 straps to attach it to your tail. I used it yesterday, as a tail bag, and went through a very bumpy technical section. It didn't budge.

Is there a helmet carrying system available for this laptop?
Is there an easy way to carry my laptop with this laptop? Sometimes I don't want to leave it on my bike but I am walking around long enough that carrying my helmet in my hand can become tiresome...
Yes, there is a separate compartment inside that tightens up after you insert your laptop/ipad.

Generally ICON boots have run 1/2 size small; is that the same for this boot?
Yes. I usually wear a 7.5 and I got these in an 8 and they fit perfect.

Does this backpack have a laptop pocket?
I can't seem to find any pics of the inside of the pack and I was curious whether or not it had any kind of internal restraints for a laptop.
Yes. There is a sleeve inside with 2 straps to buckle the laptop in.

Is this a waterproof or water resistant backpack?
I see this product has water resistan zippers it means it´s water resistan backpack I´m choosing between this and the R25 also Kriega I need to carry my laptop in that back pack.
Kriega says it's water resistant, not waterproof. I carry my iPad in it and I'm comfortable with that unless it is a torrential downpour.
