Product Information

Full details

The Richa 9904 Motorcycle Gloves are designed for adult male riders seeking a blend of protection, comfort, and warmth. Their key benefit lies in keeping hands dry and comfortable in various weather conditions due to their waterproof lining and insulation. A potential caveat is that while designed for warmth, they may be less suitable for extreme cold without additional layering. These gloves feature a durable full leather palm, a waterproof and breathable Hipora membrane, 70g 3M Thinsulate insulation, and secure closure systems.

FAQs

Are these gloves suitable for very cold winter riding?

The Richa 9904 gloves feature 70g of 3M Thinsulate insulation, which provides good warmth for moderate to cool conditions. For extreme cold, layering with thinner thermal gloves underneath might be necessary.

How do I ensure I get the right size?

Measure the circumference of your palm and your middle finger's length. Compare these measurements with the brand's sizing chart, if available. Gloves should fit snugly without restricting circulation, and all fingers should reach the fingertips of the glove.

Can I wash these gloves in a washing machine?

No, machine washing is not recommended as it can damage the leather, waterproof membrane, and insulation. Hand wash gently with a damp cloth and air dry naturally.

What does 'Hipora membrane' do?

Hipora is a type of waterproof and breathable membrane. It prevents water from entering the glove while allowing sweat vapor to escape, keeping your hands dry from both external moisture and internal humidity.

How often should I condition the leather palm?

The frequency depends on usage and climate. If you ride frequently in wet conditions or notice the leather becoming dry and stiff, apply a leather conditioner every few months or as needed.

Do these gloves offer impact protection?

While the description mentions reinforced palms and durable leather, specific impact protection features like hard knuckle armor are not detailed. They focus on abrasion resistance and basic protection.

Troubleshooting

Hands feel damp inside, but it's not raining.

This could be due to perspiration. The breathable lining should manage moisture, but in very humid conditions or during intense activity, some moisture buildup may occur. Ensure gloves are dry before use and consider if the temperature is too high for the insulation level.

Velcro closure is not holding securely.

Check the Velcro strips for debris (dirt, lint). Clean them gently with a small brush or tape. If the Velcro is worn out, it may need replacement.

Leather feels stiff after drying.

The leather may have dried out. Apply a suitable leather conditioner to restore its suppleness. Ensure gloves are dried naturally away from heat.

Zipper on the cuff is difficult to use.

Check the zipper track for any obstructions. Apply a small amount of wax or zipper lubricant to the track to help it slide smoothly.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: The Richa 9904 Motorcycle Gloves require no setup beyond ensuring the correct size is selected for a snug yet comfortable fit. Once worn, adjust the Velcro wrist closure and zip cuff closure for optimal security and comfort.

Compatibility: These gloves are designed for motorcycle use. Ensure the cuff closure system is compatible with your motorcycle jacket's sleeve design to avoid interference or bulk.

Care: To maintain the leather and waterproof properties:

  1. Cleaning: Gently wipe the gloves with a slightly damp cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals or soaking the gloves.
  2. Drying: If the gloves get wet, allow them to air dry naturally at room temperature, away from direct heat sources like radiators or hairdryers, which can damage the leather and membrane.
  3. Conditioning: Periodically treat the leather palm with a quality leather conditioner to keep it supple and prevent cracking. Follow the conditioner manufacturer's instructions.
