The Rukka Nivala 2.0 Gore-Tex Ladies Motorcycle Jacket in Black is a premium all-weather touring jacket designed around a women-specific fit. Its flexible three-layer Gore-Tex laminate keeps the waterproof membrane close to the outer shell, while comprehensive ventilation and a separate packable down jacket help the rider adapt to changing temperatures.

This current AA-certified version combines a stretch polyamide shell with Cordura 1500D reinforcement at the shoulders and elbows. Level 2 D3O Diablo shoulder and elbow protectors and a Level 1 Rukka D3O Air XTR All back protector are supplied. Pockets are also provided for the optional Rukka D3O CP1 Air chest protector, which is not included.
