quaity depends on how much you spend and the intended use.

I only own Richa gloves, ilght summer gloves with reinforcement. OK for pootling about but not track gloves by any measure.

What are you thinking of buying?

Its the Viper Jacket, and possibly Slider Trousers. The textile trousers will be for when its raining.

I own a pair of Richa gloves, have held up very well. My pair are summer gloves but I used them throughout winter and they still in pretty good condition, survived 1 big spill with only a little bit of scuffing on them after it, and also a slow speed low side.

I got them from ebay and give them a thumbs up Thumbs Up

Hey,

I've got some Richa Gloves and a leather jacket.

I got my first pair if Richa Gloves when i was 17 and they lasted till i finnally got some new ones at 22. They where a bit fraid but still perfectly useable. That was after many 'Offs' as well. I only had the one pair so they where used in summer and winter. My only problem with them was that the ends of my fingers used to go numb in the winter. (Im not sure if thats the same for all gloves)
I was that impressed that i bought another pair.

I got the leather jacket a year ago and have only started wearing it this summer. Its comfy and seems well put together.

All in all i say Thumbs Up to Richa gear.

Cheers,
Shaun.

i have richa leathers, summer gloves, textile suit and winter gloves

all seam to be excelent quality for a reasonable price. i havent crashed yet so cant comment on their 'crashability' but they feel reasuringly safe.

top notch if you ask me, better then dinessea (or however you spell it) i had a pair of their gloves and had huge holes in their overly exspensive italian cow hide after 4 months of riding utterly shit!

I have a Richa textile jacket. Just over a year old. Think it cost £99. Still keeps me dry and warm. Like the idea of a removable quilted inner. Only thing that has started to go is the velco on the left hand cuff, started to pull away from the cuff.

Ive got a richa one piece and a few pairs of gloves. The suit handled a minor low side without a problem, its comfy and the lining is good. Richa seem good value and Ive seen some really good looking 1 and 2 pieces on ebay for reasonable cash.

The was once a despatcher in one of the bike magazines who claimed to have covered something ridiculous like 300,000 miles and he said he always found richa hard wearing and good value. Good enough for me lol Laughing
