Richa Original Jeans

Tested by: Andy Catton RRP: £149.99 // Colours: Blue // Sizes: 30-44in (in a range of leg lengths)

These stylish, well-fitting Richa motorcycle jeans have proved themselves over around 1000 miles of winter, spring and summer riding to be an extremely versatile, comfy, warm and often worn choice of motorcycle jean.

The fit is brilliant, my partner preferring the look of these Richa jeans over my older Held pair – a big win, as is the colour and feel of the Denim, no doubt helped by the Cordura material. This mixture of corduroy and Denim strengthens and makes the jeans feel extremely tactile.

Standard features include lots of handy pockets and a zip up fly, helping ease of use in all those vital situations! Pocket stitching and the jeans’ branding looks impeccable and the jeans accommodate a variety of sizes of belt too.

Motorcycle features include strengthened stitching to aid safety plus D30 armour in the knees and hips as standard, which is comfy to wear and textured to be protective if an accidents was to occur, which fortunately it has not in my time with these jeans. A smooth inner lining materiel helps dressing and undressing quickly and removable Denim loops around the feet help hold the jeans in place while riding.

I can vouch for the warmth of these jeans, riding from Lincolnshire to Essex and back regularly throughout the winter months. With a winter oversuit on the top I stayed warm and now the summer is here I feel confident and safe in the Richa jeans.
