I believe Richa have discontinued these however I still see them often in smaller shops.

I bought these after going through a lot of cheap eBay £10 quid jobs. I got sick of them suddenly failing then soaking up to 2kg of water in each glove. So I bought these gloves at Hayball motorcycles in Salisbury for if I recall correctly the princely sum of £30.

The good

6 months of heavy use and they are still like new and keeping water out

Has the nifty little visor/sunglasses wiper on the finger

Very warm

While thick and feeling well made they are not overly heavy

Doesn't have that stupid hard plastic knuckle cover rubbish. Uses padding and leather at those places some use plastic.

The bad

The fit is quite snug meaning if you need to take them on and off a lot you cant just slip them off you have too faff with the Velcro.

Construction means if you need to turn them inside out it's a real pain in the arse.

Overall I'd heartily recommend these gloves. For around £30 I don't think you'll find much better.
