I've been riding in this jacket and trousers for the past three years, can't fault them. After approx 12,000 miles and some of the worst weather I've ever had the misfortune to ride in, I never got wet, was always warm (or cool in the summer). The vents work, the waterproof zips work. It just works. I've just had one of the pocket press studs fall off, after 12k miles I can't complain and will replace the jacket like for like with the same. The cuff thing isn't an issue for me, my summer gloves stop short of the cuff and I prefer my winter gloves over the cuff rather than under. 9/10 will buy again. Would give them 10 rather than 9 if they could just optimise/organise the internal pockets a little better.

I think Richa gear is very good quality and excellent value for money.

Excellent clear description, looking good for my next jacket.

excellent jacket, kept me bone dry in some torrential rain, only issue is as mentioned the cuffs are a little on the small size but i can just get my gloves underneath when its raining ( i like glove out in the dry for ease of use), buy a size bigger jacket than normal

Tried one on yesterday, nice jacket but zips at cuffs make it really uncomfortable to wear. They’re too rigid and dig in to your wrist when move them. You’re golden if you’ve got cruise control 😉

As a rider anyone that complains about getting wet remember anything advertised as waterproof even goretex it isn't waterproof just go to a store that smells outdoor clothing and buy their intermediate overalls

Hi Tony, thanks for the video. Given the comments about the tight cuffs, it would be useful to show this on a video with a summer and winter pair of gloves . Any chance?

[@sportsbikeshop]

Hi Paul, we can't edit the original video, but we've made this and I hope it helps... kzbin.info/www/bejne/Y6momJSmq8SIZ80 Cheers, Tony

It seems like a great jacket for the price

I got the jacket and trousers and they are not water proof I’m getting wet every time rains even a bit

[@sportsbikeshop]

First thing to check is that you have the vents zipped up, as leaving them open will allow water to pass through the thin lining that sits behind the vents. If that's not the issue and the jacket is actually leaking past the waterproof membrane then the jacket and jeans are both covered by a two-year warranty. If you're still within that period then you should contact your retailer about the waterproofing issues. If you bought from us within the last two years, please look for your original order confirmation email to get your order number and you can create a return here... www.sportsbikeshop.co.uk/motorcycle_parts/return_start Thanks for getting in touch. Cheers, Tony

I have the same problem - the jacket leaks terribly through the zippers on the forearms and on my chest. I bought one a few weeks ago and I got caught in the rain today for the first time. After only 30 minutes of persistent yet hardly heavy rain, the forearms of my shirt and the inside of the jackets sleeves were absolutely soaked. Furthermore, I was wet on my chest, on the right side towards the stomach, and, oddly enough, on my shoulder where there are no zippers. Further criticism goes to the size of the pockets which are a bit small and it is a bit tight to wear with anything else than 2 light layers underneath it. Apart from that, it is very comfortable and I really like it, as long as it does not rain. PS - obviously, I keep the zippers of the vents closed...
