Advice & Guides Gore-Tex not keeping out water? There's a different procedure to getting it sorted, and here's an explainer...
Customers generally praise these gloves for their comfortable fit, good protection, and reliable waterproofing in rain and showers. Many say they work well in moderate cold and are not overly bulky, allowing decent control of the bike. However, several customers note they are not truly warm enough for very low temperatures or long winter rides. Overall, they seem best suited to milder conditions rather than deep winter use.
Very comfortable from the off. You need a few minutes to adjust to the thicker fabric when searching for switches, but it comes with the territory for winter gloves I guess. Not tried in the rain yet, but as they are Gortex I’m sure they’ll be fine, I was looking for thermal protection for less than 10 deg., for very cold I have heated gloves.
Had the Richa on a few days ago at 6/7 degs., heated grips on low and my hands were toasty warm. So they are perfect for me, and hence 5 stars. It will be interesting to see if I can manage without my heated gloves, maybe for shorter rides.
I am a blood biker so out in all weather. I tried these out while riding through a torrential downpour at night and am happy to announce they kept my hands warm and dry
I know they’re a bit expensive comparatively but some times you get what you pay for & this is one of those times
Keeps you dry and warm very comfortable
Used in the winter, fairly warm down to about 4 degrees, no leaks, cuffs can be pain to get under jacket sleeves, also a lack of dexterity for switches, as I prefer short cuff lighter gloves, but overall no complaints
I tend to get very cold hands when I ride. My son had these gloves and I tried them for part of our ride out a couple of weeks ago..
Very impressed and immediately ordered some which appeared two days later as per order. Love them. Many thanks.
One these old winter brilliant gloves will not get wet
Had these a few years now, chucked them in the washing machine with the proper soap and they are still going strong. They do get to feel damp but they have never leaked and they seem ok with heated grips.
Thanks to the staff member who recommended this gloves which I love them to use in all situations. Comfortable to use, well protected from all kind of wet and cold weather and price is cheaper compared to the other Gore Tex gloves.
It would be better with touchscreen compatibility but it's not a big issue.
Great kit had a few years
Nice winter gloves which will be usable within the range of 4-11 degrees Celsius, waterproofing has good saturation point, probably around one and half hours in a storm. The negatives are that the touchscreen capability is mixed, works very well in the rain but not so much when it is dry and also the wrist enclosure is bulky; not an issue if you want the gloves over your jacket sleeve however the for most effective waterproofing, it is better to have it inside the sleeves.
These Richa gloves are outstanding: superb fit, good protection, and a premium feel that makes every ride more enjoyable. The quality is immediately obvious with durable outer materials, neat stitching, and thoughtful feature of an index finger screen wipe that balance comfort with an index finger screen wipe give added visibility on raining days. They genuinely keep hands warm and dry on real winter commutes and wet-weather rides. I recommend these Richa gloves without hesitation. They deliver the essentials for Autumn and Winter riding. Thanks for recommending SportBikeShop MK.
love these gloves. These are my second pair, still have the old ones after many years and they are great in cold and wet weather. These have been slightly updated with rubber strip to wipe visor on left hand and they work touch screens now too. Good fit, comfy and properly waterproof.
Very comfortable. A bit bulky but you get used to it. Fingers a little long. Overall satisfied.
Just what my cold holds needed - a winter glove that isn't overly bulky to lose feeling on the controls, is a snug fit, and allows my heated grips to come through still. Has kept me both warm and dry on the commute. Brilliant quality and design.
Comfy warm and waterproof. Had a wet cold journey on motorway after purchasing and they were perfect. Can still feel buttons on bike well as some gloves are too thick.
Hands are toasty and warm, fitment is true to size (although I'd recommend trying on as always to be sure)
Snug comfortable lining, but not cumbersomely thick - I can still operate controls
Very happy - will keep me going through winter riding!
Excellent product, excellent service from Sportsbikeshop.
