FAQs
Are these gloves suitable for all seasons?
The Richa 9904 gloves are primarily designed as winter gloves due to their insulation and waterproofing. They may be too warm for spring, summer, or early autumn riding.
How do I ensure the best waterproof performance?
Always ensure the external surfaces are clean and that the cuff closure is sealed effectively with your jacket to prevent water entry from the top.
What is the main advantage of the dual closure system?
The dual closure system (Velcro wrist and zip cuff) provides a secure fit, helps keep wind and water out, and allows for adjustability based on your comfort and jacket type.
Can I use these gloves for activities other than motorcycling?
While designed for motorcycling, their warmth and protection might make them suitable for other cold-weather activities requiring grip, but they are optimized for motorcycle control needs.
How much insulation do these gloves have?
The Richa 9904 gloves feature 70g of 3M Thinsulate insulation for effective warmth.
What material is the palm made of?
The palm is constructed from tough, durable leather for optimal grip and reinforcement.
Troubleshooting
Hands feel clammy or overly warm
These gloves are designed for winter. For milder weather, consider using lighter, uninsulated gloves. Ensure the waterproof membrane is not blocked by dirt if issues persist.
Water seeping into the gloves
Check the integrity of the Hipora membrane and seams. Ensure the cuff closure is properly sealed against your jacket sleeve to prevent water ingress from the top.
Velcro strap losing grip
Clean the Velcro surfaces gently with a brush to remove lint and debris. If the strap is excessively worn, replacement may be necessary.
Leather appears dry or stiff
Apply a quality leather conditioner specifically designed for gloves to restore moisture and flexibility. Allow it to penetrate before wearing.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: The Richa 9904 gloves require no setup. Simply put them on and adjust the Velcro wrist strap and cuff zipper for a secure and comfortable fit.
Compatibility: These gloves are designed for adult motorcycle riders and are compatible with most motorcycle jackets. The fit may vary slightly depending on the jacket's cuff design.
Care Instructions:
- Cleaning: Gently clean the leather and textile surfaces with a damp cloth. Avoid harsh detergents or abrasive cleaners.
- Drying: If the gloves become wet, allow them to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not use direct heat sources like radiators or hairdryers, as this can damage the leather and waterproof membrane.
- Conditioning: Periodically treat the leather parts with a suitable leather conditioner to maintain suppleness and prevent drying or cracking.
