Has anyone got any opinions on Richa leathers?

In the local bike shop they have loads of Richa stuff and a set of leathers costs £380. I can get a set of Hein Gericke for the same price but don't know which are better.

Any help is welcome.

Regardless of price go for the best fitting/most comfortable. If they fit equally well look at stitching and quality of the armour.

I' ve got a hien greick jacket its brilliant the only thing that went wrong was a zip and they're all made by the same people so cant really complain about that.

yeah i have got a set of them, slider trousers and a fazer jacket. i crashed on the track at 100mph plus and the leathers held up well considering the speed of the off and i was tumbling and rolling for 200 metres. trousers did there job, but the jacket was a bit of a mess, and had some seams split. its more of a stylised jacket rather than out and out protection. so if you are doing any track work i would choose a different jacket. but even after that i walked away with a graze on my elbow and my lower back, but from speaking to the guy doing my leather repairs the back graze was a 1 in a thousand injury.
but as has been said it is better to get a set that fit you well than one thats on a special offer.
