American motorcyclists will now have access to Richa motorcycle apparel as the brand launches in the U.S. Richa, headquartered in Belgium and in operation for over 70 years, offers a diverse range of high-quality riding gear for men and women.
In 1952, Charles Rigaux began manufacturing leather gloves, switching to motorcycle clothing by 1977. Throughout the years, the brand grew in scale and reputation, and by 2005, the Belgian police began wearing products from Richa. Today, the company has a network of 22 brick-and-mortar stores across the EU and caters to riders of all types, including track riders, adventure riders, cruiser riders, and more.
“By putting the wishes and needs of motorcyclists first and foremost and honing our groundbreaking technology day in day out, we ensure every biker a pleasant and comfortable ride,” claims the Richa website. “Because experience is high on our agenda, we also continuously invest in impeccable service, user-friendliness, and constructive cooperation with our dealers. That’s how we offer motorcyclists all over the world a wide range of premium and innovative gear that delivers the best possible protection – and at the best possible prices.”
Products in the Richa lineup include racing suits and jackets, adventure suits, leather and textile jackets and pants, riding jeans, mid-layers, under-layers, footwear, rainwear, vests, and other accessories. Technologies and high-quality materials used to create Richa products include Gore-Tex and Aquashell (for waterproofing and breathability), D3O Armor (trusted by European police forces), SuperFabric and Cordura (abrasion-resistant and durable), Fidlock Closure Systems (magnetic fastenings), and Gerbing heated gear.
