Richa Arctic Gore-Tex Gloves - Black I've only ridden with them once, so far, on a short journey when it was about 10 degrees C. They were nice and warm, with no need for heated grips. They do feel quite thickly padded, so will take some time to break in. I was struggling to hit my indicator switch on the ride. Having proper GoreTex at this price seems good value.
I usually wear medium Alpinestars gloves, but I needed to go down to a small to get the best fit for these.
Richa Rain Warrior Jacket - Black / Fluo Yellow Good for keeping light showers out and good wind proofing but not waterproof when the real rain kicks in!
Richa Orion Gore-Tex Textile Jacket - Black Totaly waterpoof in heavy rain, comfy , good zips ( I add little tags to them though so easier to use with gloves on ),sleeves are big enough so you can fit gloves underneath, but not too bulky when wearing the gloves out of the sleeve, plenty of vents to keep you cool in the summer, needs a back protector as not supplied,
Richa Adventure Waterproof Boots - Black Descent looking pair of boots, a little tough to get off but maybe they will give a little. Walked a couple of mile in them and not too bad. Yet to test if they are waterproof so maybe come back to that, winter is on its way.
Richa D3O Diablo Level 2 Protectors - Knee / Elbow Currently using this armour in both my Furygan Sherman Leather jacket in the elbows and also the knees of my bullitt jeans. No bulk and you have to double check that there is armour there. Lets the joints breathe and for something like the Leather Jacket which is tight around the arms it allows me to wear a thick thermal top.
Haven't crash tested it yet; thankfully, but watched plenty of reviews of the product in YouTube before committing to the D3O
Richa Shadow Leather Gloves - Grey So far I've used these across summer and now into autumn and I've not yet found myself needing to switch to winter gloves. But I do have handguards and heated grips. They look great and are starting to wear in nicely. Great dexterity and feel. Only reason for a point drop is I find the cuff extremely baggy. You have to have a decent amount of fold over to get a tight fit, yet not baggy enough to go over my jacket cuff. Would still purchase again though.
Richa Winterpulse Waterproof Textile Gloves - Black Warm, waterproof and comfortable
