Richa Leathers
 

Hi guys and girls

Does anyone know anything about these leathers? Looking at a 2 piece but having looked through the firum I cant seem to find anything about them.

Any advice would be much appreciated

I recently bought a Richa 2 piece, the Ballistic jacket and the viper trousers. So far I'm very pleased with it. The leather looks good quality and thick. The jacket has a removable thermal liner and a separate removable waterproof liner so it's very flexible. It has a short connection zipper at the back and a second zipper that goes all the way round. I tried the short zipper but it is not as easy to zip up and for me with only the back zipper connected it was pulling at my neck just a tiny bit. The collar has 2 push buttons to adjust fit around your neck fit. At first the fit was a bit stiff, but it's supposed to be like that in my view. It's already starting to fit me better when sitting on the bike.

It has two vents on the upper arms and two on your back. Two weeks ago we were riding with normal pace, it was about 24-25 degrees and I had both the arm as well as the back zippers open. I can tell you I closed down the front zippers because it was venting so good that it was starting to get chilly. So for warm weather it's very comfortable and with the liner zipped in and perhaps a warm icebreaker (wool underwear) underneath it should be plenty warm for colder days as well. So a very versatile jacket (warm, cold, rain), with a good fit (subjective obviously) and quality appearance.

Ive had a Richa Evo suit for over 3 years now, comfy as you like, over 20k miles covered in it no issues apart from the main zip broke recently.

I'd buy richa again if need be.

I have just bought a Richa Vista Leather jacket and couldn't be happier. So comfy and the leather is really good quality. Excellent protection as well. I don't think you can ever really go wrong with German products (although i hate to admit that one)

I would definitely recommend this brand to anyone who is looking for a good quality leather jacket that isnt going to cost the earth

The brand is Belgian though (could still be made in Germany of course). The Vista jacket is what I actually wanted, looks wise. :)

I have Richa leathers. No idea on the model, but mine are about 7 years old and still fine. Other than the usual stuff like the tab on the jacket breaking...paper clip and gaffer tape fixed that. All the zips still work which is good.

Re: Richa Leathers
 

I've got some of their leather jeans, about seven or eight years old now. Very comfy and well put together.

One thing I've found though is I need a new jacket and the zips on my trousers don't fit any other brands.

CSpronken - It could be Belgian I am just going on what the guy in the shop told me. I love the look of the Vista Jacket and definitely worth paying the extra for.

Sir Trev- Where in Wycombe are you from? I am originally from Marlow and although I live in Newbury now I often head back to see friends.

I liked the lucky leather in black as well, but don't like the hump on the back.
