Verified Customer Reviews for Richa Forest Shirt
Looks good, fits well, usual Richa quality
13 July 2025 by Anonymous
Bought this for riding my monkey bike around town, where I don't necessarily want or need a full leather jacket. It's perfect for that. Being burgundy rather than bright red, it's a subtler option for when you're off the bike than some alternatives,

Very good

Mine is 2xl ..I'm 6 foot ...and it fits perfectly. Can just get the second popper on the cuffs done up too. Armour is not intrusive and feels like it's all in the correct position. It's for DRY ..and at least warm weather rides and so far I've not got cold nor too hot wearing it.

Safety & Style rolled into one!

The cut of this jacket is great, I tried on the whole range of riding shorts in store at Harlow, which was a great service. Zips and double poppers at cuffs. AA rated, including level 1 back protector. Having worn it many times now, the Richa quality is throughout the garment. I’m a 40in chest and a medium fits with room for freedom of movement without it looking like I’m wearing a bed sheet!
I’ve also bought the Richa add on that zips on to connect your jeans to the shirt, which works well, although I haven’t had to test it.
The shirt allows the breeze through so ideal for spring summer.
I really wasn’t sure due to so many to choose from, this isn’t the cheapest but the feel and fit were what sold it to me.

Just what I needed to go with my Richa jeans
09 March 2025 by David L
This is very good quality material and an excellent fit so is very comfortable. The built-in armour is where it needs to be.
I haven't tried its resilience, fortunately.
This and the jeans I already have will be very good together and it means I can meet non-bikers and not be wearing full bike kit.

Great value for money.

Comfortable fit, true sizing, works well in warm weather, great price and looks really good on. If it had zip pockets at the side, it would be perfect.
Great customer support from the staff.

Quality product

I've always wanted a protective shirt for those warm days when that is all that is needed. This shirt is very well made providing great protection and the cut of the shirt makes a statement of quality. I have yet to ride with it on but noted that there is a zip and buttons to keep the wind out.
