Beginnings in 1950

Rukka was founded in 1950 in the Finnish coastal town of Kokkola by Roger “Rukka” Störling. What began as a small venture making jogging wear gradually evolved into a brand known for weatherproof and technical sportswear. Over time Rukka’s focus shifted strongly toward gear for riders who demand high protection under harsh conditions.

Evolving Toward Motorcycle Excellence

As the years passed, Rukka built expertise in outdoor and all‑weather apparel, developing fabrics and construction methods to handle cold, rain and wind. This expertise naturally led into motorcycle clothing, where protection and resistance to the elements are vital.

Defence & Comfort Philosophy

Rukka follows a performance standard known as Defence & Comfort. That means every motorcycle piece is designed to meet both protection and comfort demands. Quality materials, rigorous testing and carefully engineered designs allow riders to stay safe without sacrificing comfort during long rides or adverse weather.

Innovation, Durability and Trust

The brand is known for using state‑of‑the‑art textiles, advanced membranes, and thoughtful attention to detail. Reinforced stitching, durable waterproof seams, strong protective armour all contribute to gear that lasts. Riders trust Rukka for commuting, touring or cold weather journeys because the gear is built to endure.
