Richa Artic gloves are very good fit, do not need to be smaller than your normal size. Feels like they have very good protection.

I took delivery of these gloves just in time for a 900 mile 4day trip around the Scottish Highlands and Islands. From the start they felt comfortable and well proved their waterproof capabilities in around 600 miles of driving rain.
Very happy with my purchase.

A good glove but not a great glove

I wanted another set of winter gloves for the cold and wet months and invested in these Richa Arctics. They are comfortable enough but the inner layer moves around when taking them off, especially when wet, so longevity might be an issue. They had a few hard seams which have worn down with use, particularly on the thumb joints. The knuckle protectors scuff and mark easily so will have some patina in short order. They are warm enough for autumn but I expect them to be a struggle in winter without heated grips. The cuffs like to fold in at the very end when putting them on and the fingers are too thick to do any fine movement when they're on (such as pulling the cuffs out). All in all they're a good glove and I don't think you'll regret buying them but they're not a great glove and I wouldn't buy them again.

Kept my hands dry during heavy rain storms and I found them easy to take off/on again even with damp hands at fuel stops etc. My first pair of Richa gloves lasted for many years and after spending loads of cash on various other brands I`ve gone back to Richa.....why did I ever change!

These gloves work a treat for those cold and wet winter rides. With heated grips they remain warm and comfy even when the temperature starts approaching 0C. The built in visor comes in very handy during rain and foggy conditions, and the ability to still use a touch screen without having to go through the faff of taking them off is very useful.

I've been using these gloves in winter for years. Always proved to be warm down to freezing point and have never leaked. Bulky but not as bad as some others. When these wear out I'll be buying more of the same.

Good quality materials and stitching. Thicker than my previous gloves, but it took no time to adjust and hand no problem feeling the controls of my bike.

We went on a 2 hour ride in 5 degrees and my hands were warm the whole time. The soft interior didn't feel damp after a while like with some other gloves.

I haven't rode it in the rain yet so can't comment on the waterproofing of the gloves.

Definitely fit for my purpose.

Nice glove in that it's not as bulky as your normal. Winter glove. Yet to test in proper cold but seems comfortable in warmer temps.
Protection seems good.

These gloves are really warm and are definitely waterproof.
I commute daily, and even with all the crazy weather we've had recently, they've kept my hands warm and dry.
Quality wise they are top-notch too.

The next step between summer gloves and my heated gloves, At least good enough heading into single digit temps prior to the heated gloves taking over and waterproof too. Money well spent.
