Product Information
Full details
The Richa 9904 Motorcycle Gloves are designed for adult male riders seeking robust protection, comfort, and warmth, especially during winter conditions. Their key benefit lies in the combination of a durable leather palm for grip and a waterproof, breathable lining ensuring dry and comfortable hands. A potential caveat is that while designed for warmth, they may not be suitable for extreme sub-zero temperatures without additional layering. These gloves feature a blend of leather and textile, a waterproof Hipora membrane, and 3M Thinsulate insulation, secured with Velcro and zip closures for a reliable fit.

FAQs
Are these gloves suitable for all-season riding?
The Richa 9904 gloves are best suited for autumn, winter, and spring due to their insulation and waterproofing. They may be too warm for hot summer riding.
How do I determine the correct size?
Refer to the brand's sizing chart, typically available on their website or at the point of purchase. Measure the circumference of your hand at the widest point and consult the chart.
Can I wash these gloves in a washing machine?
No, machine washing is not recommended as it can damage the leather, insulation, and waterproof membrane. Hand wash gently as per care instructions.
What is the primary material used in these gloves?
The gloves are constructed from a combination of leather and textile materials, with a full leather palm for grip and durability.
How effective is the waterproofing?
They feature a 100% waterproof and breathable Hipora membrane, designed to keep water out while allowing internal moisture to escape.
What type of insulation is used?
The gloves are insulated with 70g 3M Thinsulate, which provides warmth without adding excessive bulk.
How do I ensure a secure fit?
A secure fit is achieved through a combination of a Velcro wrist closure and a zip cuff closure, allowing for adjustability.
Troubleshooting
Hands feel cold during rides.
Consider using thin liner gloves for added insulation during colder weather. Ensure closures are fully sealed to prevent drafts.
Gloves feel stiff or uncomfortable.
Allow a break-in period. Ensure the fit is correct by adjusting the Velcro wrist and zip cuff closures. Use a leather conditioner on the leather components.
Water seems to be seeping in.
Check that the zip cuff is fully closed and the Velcro strap is secure. Inspect the Hipora membrane for any potential damage. Ensure gloves are not submerged in water for extended periods.
Leather palm feels less grippy.
Clean the palm with a damp cloth to remove dirt or residue. Apply a leather conditioner specifically designed for gloves to restore grip and suppleness.

Care: To maintain the integrity and performance of the Richa 9904 gloves:
