Build Quality & Materials
-
Outer Shell: 100% Polyester (Cordura + Superfabric)
-
Membrane: 100% Polyester (Aquashell LTZ)
-
Lining: 100% Polyester mesh for airflow
The materials feel durable and well-assembled, with smooth zippers, solid stitching, and robust hardware throughout.
Fit & Comfort
The jacket fits true to the Richa sizing chart. Riders with longer torsos may find the length slightly short. It features:
-
Curved arms for comfort in riding position
-
Ample sleeve length
-
Adjustable elements to fine-tune fit
-
Neoprene collar edge to prevent chafing
The included thermal liner is warm, easy to remove, and can be worn as a standalone jacket off the bike.
Ventilation & Breathability
Ventilation is good—but not great. Laminated waterproofing limits airflow compared to jackets with removable liners.
Ventilation Features:
-
Chest vents with Fidlock magnetic system
-
Forearm intake vents
-
Rear exhaust vents behind storm flaps
For hot summer days, a jacket like the Infinity 2 Adventure, which features larger mesh panels and more venting, would outperform it.
Protection
-
CE AA abrasion rating
-
D3O CE Level 1 armor in shoulders and elbows
-
Pockets for optional back and chest protectors
Armor Certification Details:
-
Shoulder (EN 1621-1:2012, Type A, Level 1)
-
Elbow (EN 1621-1:2012, Type A, Level 1)
While protection is solid, the jacket could benefit from CE Level 2 armor and Type B (larger coverage) in bigger sizes. The lack of an included back protector is a notable omission at this price point.
Waterproofing
The Aquashell LTZ membrane performs very well in real-world rain testing. It kept the rider completely dry during light to moderate rainfall.
Make sure chest vents are securely closed in wet weather; rear exhaust vents are protected by storm flaps.
Visibility
The Black/Grey/Fluorescent Yellow colorway is highly visible during the day. The jacket includes extensive reflective trim in key zones (back, arms, chest, branding) for low-light conditions.
Color Options

Black/Grey/Fluorescent Yellow

Final Verdict
