Richa Cold Protect Gloves GTX – Black

Richa Cold Protect GTX Gloves: Warm and dry without the bulk

Waterproof (always). Not so bulky to interfere with riding the motorcycle. Protection. Those are the ingredients of great winter motorcycle gloves. And according to the comparative test conducted by Visordown.com, these Richa gloves have them all nailed. And this is what you get:

The Visordown.com test summary: “The Gore-Tex-based ‘Cold Protect’ laughed at our lab tests. They are waterproof, as advertised, cruising through the resistance test, the cold test and leak test without letting a drop of water through to the inner lining _ and they only took on 73g in the process. Cold protection is very good indeed. After five minutes my hand was no less warm than it was when it went in, only the Held [Freezer gloves] can offer anything to rival it in this area. To wear and use, they strike the right balance between size and comfort, bulky enough to stay warm but thin enough on the palms to give a good feel.”

Test results:
Test 1 Resistance test: 10/10
Test 2 Cold test: 10/10
Test 3 Waterproofing: 10/10
Test 4 Wet/dry weight test: 7/10
Test 5 Road test: 8/10
Overall: 45/50

GetGeared Tip: As with many winter gloves, these motorcycle gloves are thicker than what we usually ride in. After feedback from customers, GetGeared would recommend buying a size bigger than you usually do.
