If it feels like armour in your bike kit then the law demands it is actually proper, protective armour. Here's how to tell how effective your impact protection is...
After trying on loads of other jeans in different sizes, the Richa jeans were sized per the label, single layer so not bulky with all the protection needed. They look great on, and are easy to wear when not on the bike without looking like you're playing dress-up. Kudos to SBS for a operating a try before you buy and for offering a great deal!
I was unsure what to look for or what I wanted when I walked into the sportsbikeshop MK. Lee explained the pro's and con's of each style and manufacture they had available, he also made it clear the final choice was down to me, what I wanted and obviously budget.
The first pair of jeans I tried on inevitably was the pair I purchased, all be it in a shorter leg. I tried a total of six different styles and manufacturers, all marques in the the motorcycle world of clothing, sizes in waist and leg laughably ranged from the surreal to the extreme, but none fitted like Richa original 2, the slim fit took away that baggyness without being paint on jeans, and the ghost armour is superb streamline and subtle.
It would be great if motorcycle manufactures could work with military high spec armour to great something out of this world, until then, the Richa Original 2 are the best of the best.
I sized down from 34” to 32” waist and they put perfectly. They look like a normal pair of jeans off the bike. The material is soft and stretchy but feel exceptionally well made and comfy and the ghost armour is barely noticeable. Useful stretch at the ankle meaning the fit easily over the top of my Alpinestar J6 boots.
SBS were excellent. Matched the price and delivery was 24 hours!
Love these jeans, really comfortable and look great
Love these.
Wanted a casual riding look.
These are comfortable. Hardly notice the armour once on.
Look great with my leather jacket and alpinestars Shoes.
Look better than usual riding kit if I need to wear to work or cafe.
Jeans for the win.
Top pair of bike jeans, soft touch but strong, fit perfect and very comfortable and movable in them, good padding and worth the money, I have tried a number of jeans on and these felt just right and I disnt even question the price
This is my 2nd pair of Richa riding Jean's and just like the last pair, they are a quality product. From the fit and feel when on to the protection offered by the AA rating and D3O hip and knee armour, couldn't ask for better.
Okay, they are towards the top end of the price range for these type of Jean's, but you get what you pay for
Delivery was unbelievably fast, jeans are a true to size fit, probably the most comfortable riding jeans I've ever worn. Decent protection on hips and knees and look great off bike too. Highly recommend. .
Definitely feel premium quality and very comfortable to wear. The fit is slightly smaller (I take 29 waist and ended up with 30). Very comfortable on the bike and look good off. Big thanks to the staff at the new Preston branch and Sally in Boston. You were brilliant. No other retailers come close to the service I get from Sportsbikeshop.
Great fit and well made
All day comfortable on and off the bike
I commute in them and can wear them all day at work
Armour is light
Would recommend
Have tried far too many brands and types of bike jeans to name, across a spectrum of price points but these are hands down the best looking, comfiest and all the while feeling like they offer good protection at the same time.
The material has a small degree of stretch it without feeling flimsy or thin like other jeans I have bought.
The fit is also nicely tapered but not slim or boxy so are much easier to pass off as regular jeans that many other bike jeans.
Great service from Sportsbikeshop as always
