Good & Bad
11 Aug 2026 by Malcolm A
Lets start with the good - very light Gore-Tex jacket with a warm interior Gillet. Bad - very poor zips, been back to SB twice as cant fully close sleeve zips when you have gloves on, also, getting gloves on is a pain as the cuff barely opens to give you enough room to fit the glove under the sleeve, very frustrating....and finally, the main zip is very low, doesn't go very far up your neck, leaving neck exposed and when it rains unless you have a waterproof neck warmer this is going to cause issues - for an expensive jacket there are certainly flaws....

Flexible, limited faff and very warm
13 Jan 2026 by Alex B
This is the most comfortable jacket I've ever worn. The thermal lining is well attached and easy to remove, so it feels like minimal faff to put on. Riding in 3 degrees I was very warm and the quality feels good.

Richa Orion Gortex Jacket
10 Jan 2026 by Dave G
Really nice looking jacket made from smooth to touch materials. The jacket has good size pockets and one on the lower back too also a few inside pockets. Adjustable waist and neck line with pull tags. Its probably not as warm as some jackets but with base layers and riding in 2 degrees it was fine over 2 hours riding. I didn't want a very thick jacket that restricts movement and this one is great to wear when off the bike too, its a lot lighter in weight.
