Richa gear.

[anonymous-user]

Any good? Looking at some textile stuff of theirs but never had any so no idea if it’s any good. I’ve only ever heard good things.

I have Richa leathers and some summer trousers, all good especially the leathers which are stylish, nothing to complain about.

[Some Guy]

I can recommend Spidi.

I got the Richa Atlantic jacket and trousers at the NEC last weekend, only had an hour or so jaunt but first impressions are good. Despite it being 3-4°C and me not putting my thermals on, I was fairly comfortable. I like the zips for the cuffs instead of velcro, works great to seal in the gloves. Also feels really good quality.
The zip to join together is a bit of a faff and needs getting used to.
I'm weirdly looking forward to trying it out in the rain .

I’ve had Richa gloves, which have been well used and needed replacing, but I couldn’t find anything that was at the same price/quality/fit. The uniformed motorcyclists we have get issued Richa gloves for summer and winter use (not the same pair all year round, separate winter gloves and summer gloves). I’ve tried a few other brands, but it seems to be a bit like helmets - I’ve got a Shoei shaped head and it seems I have Richa shaped hands!

I have a richa textile jacket which is warm waterproof and hard wearing - I have used it for trail riding, enduroing and road riding, excellent value for money and I would buy the same brand again if the current one ever fails, however it shows no signs of failing, despite falling off the bike loads off road with it

I had some Richa gloves which were great ....until I left them on my bike in a city centre and they got nicked. I'´ve also had some Richa boots which wore well and were almost waterproof.

I have the Richa Scirocco Textile Jacket and trousers, for a relatively inexpensive set its been great. I have ridden in pouring rain and temps down to freezing with no problems.

Thanks folks.

I had a pair of the textile Goretex gloves that were everywhere about a year ago. £100 or so. Fingers wore through in a year which was a bit disappointing to be honest.

I've had Richa drift boots which are okay, the waterproofing failed pretty fast. I have their Cold protect gloves too which didn't wear through but the velcro on the cuffs etc simply don't hold. I think they're a bit meh TBH I prefer my Dainese gear more.

I had some Richa Colorado trousers for the best part of four years. The first pair were replaced under warranty within the first year when some stitching split. They were reasonably warm and comfortable, but the water resistance wasn't up to much.

[R1 Dave]

I've had textiles and gloves over the years and it's pretty good for the money.

[JamesD74]

My Richa winter gloves are holding up well.

[stang65]

I've been riding 22 years and have only used RIcha leathers which have been good value and lasted well (obviously not still on the original set!). I also have Richa textiles which I rate highly. My textile jacket is now at least 17 years old and is still waterproof, warm and comfortable - must have done some serious miles! Never tried their gloves or boots - tend to wear Sidi boots and whatever gloves are in the shop when I need them.

Obviously I wouldn't hesitate to buy new leathers or textiles from Richa. They seem very well made consider the price point.

Thinking about what other people have said, I thunk Richa stuff seems decent quality, for the price. I spunked a load of money on a Klim GoreTex Projacket and trousers a while back, which have been utterly great, but for the same cost (about £1,500 all in), you could easily get at least three sets of Richa stuff.

You generally get what you pay for. There are always exceptions of course, but as above, I think for what the Richa stuff costs, the quality seems to be a bit above what you might expect (if that makes sense). You’re basically getting a “£300 jacket”, with all the features, but for £200 (made up numbers, just to try and illustrate my point).

I’ve gone for a Richa Waterproof Overcoat, found the fit much better than the Dainese, Oxford, IXS and Frank Thomas, body quite slim, arms long, enough space to move in a tucked position etc.

Arrived today. Cheeky eBay bargain.
Despite being 2XL the jacket is a little on the short side and best described as a bit snug in places, or maybe I’m just used to looser jackets from past experience.
Trousers are just right, but overall the material feels a bit thin for gear described as suitable for “year-round riding”.
Will see how it is at 04:30 on Thursday.

I have a pair of lightweight boots. They got me through my training and 2000 miles this year, albeit fine weather stuff. They still look great and will probably last a few more years. As other have suggested, vfm is good.

[DuncsGTi]

I've had a few bits and pieces over the years.

My arctic winter gloves are about 5 years old and still my go-to gloves when its chilly

I had a pair of textile trousers only last about 6 months before the stitching let go, replaced by the store with the same again which lasted about 18 months before the same happened.

I've got a leather 2 piece suit which is about 2 years old and despite significant wear, seems to still be in fantastic condition.

They seem a bit hit-and-miss when it comes to QC
