Advice & Guides Give your fingers a treat with the right pair of winter gloves...

Customers have praised these gloves for their warmth, comfort, and ability to keep hands dry, even in heavy rain. They are ideal for winter riding, with some customers noting their effectiveness in temperatures as low as 1 degree. While many appreciate their fit and durability, a few customers have noticed issues with the lining becoming damp or pulling out. Despite some reports of underperformance in extreme cold, many find these gloves a valuable addition to their gear.
First impressions are really good with these gloves, but they are quite bulky meaning very little finger dexterity. These are winter gloves - so what do you expect.....? So hard to knock them too much for that.
Next issue is they do not work on touch sensitive screens. I should have checked that before buying - but I didn't so I can't complain; but if I was buying again I would definitely continue looking rather than buying these.
Last point - the 'lumpy' armour on the fingers means you can't wipe a mirror with the back of your hand. Riding with fogged up mirrors is not ideal - so you need to use your finger tips to wipe them - which seems a bit unnatural to me..
Overall - very good gloves, but I wish I had thought about what I need a bit more rather than being swayed by the rave reviews.
Truly excellent gloves, kept my hands dry and almost too warm during 450 mile trip on 3rd & 4th October ‘25 during the height of Storm Amy. A great product at a decent price. During the same trip most of my mates who had heated grips were relying on these to give some relief to their soaking hands ( I don’t have heated grips as riding an old Triton with small battery).
Size guide I am Large, but they felt tight and I eventually had to go to Harlow and try XL and 2XL and 3XL on in the shop. 2XL were best fit.
So I needed two sizes up !!
Haven't tried below 10 degrees yet but they seem comfy and super warm with the thick fleece lining compared to my plain summer RST Leather gloves. A little bulky after summer gloves, but you gotta expect that for the warmth provided.
I would definitely recommend.
So far so good, bought ‘L’ for (smaller) ‘L’ hands.
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.
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.
I like these. Dry warm, well made. Sizing a bit small so go up one size. Would buy 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!
Overall happy with quality of these, just need to find some gloves that keep my finger tips warm lol. Size was spot on definitely a winter glove, even in average weather, my hands sweat.
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.
Second pair of these, previous ones a good 10 years old and still useful. Fit well with good length on the fingers. Not bulky, easy to use controls.
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.
Well pleased with these gloves. Warm Dry and still tactile.
