Richa Hurricane GTX gloves in black

Richa, in truth, has not always been a Motolegends kind of brand. Some of their products are a bit too mass market for us, but actually some of their products are outstanding, and a match for anything out there. The Hurricane glove falls into this category. It reminds us of a glove that Eska used to make; in fact it’s pretty much identical. It’s made from a combination of both textile fabrics and leather. The palm is all leather, and features an area of digi-print leather for extra grip. The back of the glove has leather on the fingers, with an elasticated fabric down the sides of the fingers for comfort. Small accordion stretch panels also contribute toward making this a comfortable glove to ride in. For protection there’s a hard rubberised protector on the knuckles. You also get a shock absorbing pad in the palm. The Gore-Tex membrane is bonded to the outer surface of the glove, meaning that this is a glove that will not wet out in even the heaviest of rainstorms. The mid-length cuff fastens with a wide Velcro strap. They are also, in our view, very well priced, especially give the glove’s Gore-Tex underpinnings.
