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...
Customers have shared mixed experiences with the trousers, praising their quality, comfort, and warmth. Most reviews highlight that sizing runs smaller, recommending going a size up for a better fit. Many customers are satisfied with the waterproof capabilities, though there are reports of leakage in heavy rain. Features like side vents and detachable liners add to their adaptability. Constructed with durability and protection in mind, most customers are pleased with their purchase, appreciating the value they offer.
The trousers suffered a failed zip within 14 miles. I contacted to replace, and as I wasn’t going to be in to receive a replacement, I willingly offered to drive to Birmingham than to exchange. I was assured they’d be there the next day, and I attended the day after that… they weren’t there. The staff couldn’t give a sh1t.
I sent an email, raising this, and without asking, they sent me a replacement to my home, where I wasn’t going to be. I got directed to DHL to give an updated address, but that’s like plaiting fog, and they were only able to send to an address pre set on their system; which was old and wrong, they were incapable of adding additional details or a note to that address to clarify, and aid in delivery.
There was one guy called Mark who seemed to want to help, and he communicated well, but it’s clear he’s banging his head against a wall, in an organisation that doesn’t seem to be capable or care.
Failed to offer any recompense for the frustration and inconvenience.
Once you spend more than 1 hour on the bike, they get very uncomfortable on the crotch area.
So as has happened a lot over the last few years I keep buy Richa products because they fit my avg. dimensions (a bit like M&S). So atm I have Richa Jacket, gloves and trousers. And despite not being gortex they havent leaked yet, but I guess I will see whow long they last once the 2yr warranty has expired.
Very happy with these trousers. Very comfortable to wear lots of adjustments. I got a 3xl long and I’m 6’ 3 with 36-38 waist. I had to size up with this brand maybe a 2xl long would be a better fit but SBS didn’t have stock for over a month so went for these and with all the waist adjustments fits ok.
These are tip top Biker trousers product and a great price too. I had to buy 3XXL to replace my 2XXL ones so my only criticism of them is I didn't expect to be fat shamed by my new gear for 2025.
Overall the trousers are good, however the crotch area is weird, it feels like it's near my knees, trying to swing my leg over my bike takes a bit of effort and I can't seem to spread my legs when I'm on the bike I think it has something to do with the patch they use in that area, and it's not just me 2 people I work with who are different heights and waist sizes also experienced the same issue with these trousers, other than that they see to be well made, reasonably warm and fairly waterproof.
Really good product. Sportsbikeshop is a really good website with a very good service. Delivery options are amazing and also very helpful.
I took the previous review advice and went for one size larger than my normal size, they definitely come up smaller as the bigger size fitted just as i prefer. I went for the Long version and they fit very well with no riding up over the boots. The overall fit is very good and the quality I can't fault. I haven't ridden in continual rain yet but I have ridden in showers with no wet crotch or other problem. I would highly recommend these textile trousers as the price point is very good for the quality.
Replaced my old RST pro pants with these and the fit for me is a lot more comfortable. Yet to try in heavy rain but fingers crossed. As always a fantastic service from Sportsbikeshop.
really good product super comfy but only down side is they do fit slightly smaller so if you do buy you would wanna go for a size up but overall really good
I ordered them late afternoon on Saturday and they were delivered on the Monday, so excellent service from Sportsbikeshop.
I got one size up as other reviews advised this, and they are a great fit, I have used them twice this month (march) and they are comfy and warm but not had them out on rain yet, so far I'm very pleased with these trousers.
I bought these for my wife as her last textile trousers let her down.
I have been using Rich Colorado jeans for the last 4 years and they are still waterproof. Great quality and well made. I would like them to have a full zip to attach to the jacket. but would not let that stop me buying another pair.
Comfortable, warm and waterproof so far. On the small side so I went a size up.
Big fan of Richa styling. These jeans are a good fit, really confirtabke; The thigh aurvents are a great idea, prevent overheating sweaty legs. Coped very well on a 600 mile road trip. The butt pad was great incrementing slippage.
The delivery was next day and the fit as they say and look good on.
The liner was too warm for this spring (3-5°c).
First time out, got caught in a downpour (despite it feeling more like an immersion in a cold bath, as the puddles were about 4" deep at worse) and these kept me warm and dry on a naked cruiser.
I'd be confident going out in these in poor weather, confident in comfort, warmth and keeping dry.
Didn't get chance to try the air vents out, but they didn't leak in from there. So far thumbs up.
Great quality motorcycling trousers
that look great with the Richa jacket. It is very quick and easy to remove the interior lining in warm weather.
I went for a size up from my normal jeans and they are a good fit.
This is my first pair of Richa jeans. They are a quality product compared to my previous choices. Well constructed, warm and waterproof. I went for one size above what I measure, it was a perfect fit for me.

These trousers do have zips at the ankles, to allow for boots.
These do indeed have pockets for hip armour.
