FAQs

Are these gloves suitable for winter riding?

The Richa Shadow Leather Gloves are primarily designed for mild to warm weather touring. They do not feature significant insulation and are not recommended for cold or winter conditions.

What is the 'Touring Fit'?

A touring fit generally means the gloves are cut for a comfortable, slightly more relaxed fit suitable for longer periods of wear, prioritizing comfort over a very snug, performance-oriented fit.

How do I ensure I get the right size?

Refer to the brand's sizing chart, typically available from the retailer. Measure the circumference of your hand at the widest point (excluding the thumb) and compare it to the chart.

Can I use these gloves with touchscreen devices?

The product description does not specify touchscreen compatibility. Standard leather gloves may offer limited or no functionality with touchscreens.

How durable is the hard knuckle armour?

The hard knuckle armour is designed to provide impact protection in case of a fall or slide. Its durability is inherent to its construction, offering a significant layer of safety over softer materials.

How often should I condition the leather?

It is recommended to condition the leather gloves every 3-6 months, or more frequently if they are regularly exposed to harsh weather conditions or feel dry.

Troubleshooting

Gloves feel too tight initially

Leather gloves often require a break-in period. Wear them for short periods around the house to allow them to mold to your hands. Avoid forceful stretching.

Ventilation seems insufficient on very hot days

While the AVS system helps, extreme heat may still lead to warm hands. Ensure the gloves are not too tight, as this can restrict airflow. Consider gloves with more extensive ventilation for exceptionally hot climates.

Velcro closure losing grip

Clean the Velcro hooks and loops regularly with a small brush to remove lint and debris. If wear is significant, the Velcro may need replacement by a professional.

Leather showing signs of drying or cracking

Apply a quality leather conditioner as per the product instructions. Consistent conditioning helps maintain the leather's flexibility and durability.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: These gloves require no setup. Simply wear them as you would any other glove.

Compatibility: The Richa Shadow Leather Gloves are designed for general motorcycle use and are compatible with most types of motorcycles. They are suitable for adult riders.

Care:

  1. Cleaning: For light dirt, use a soft, damp cloth to wipe the surface. Avoid soaking the leather.
  2. Conditioning: Periodically use a leather conditioner specifically designed for motorcycle gear to keep the leather supple and prevent cracking. Apply sparingly and buff off any excess.
  3. Drying: If the gloves get wet, allow them to air dry naturally away from direct heat sources like radiators or sunlight, which can damage the leather.
