Richa Atlantic Urban GTX gloves in black

There are basically just three types of motorcycle glove: the summer glove, the winter glove and the summer-waterproof glove. The Richa Atlantic Urban GTX gloves is a leather glove that falls into the last category. It’s a highly spec’d glove, but what causes it to stand out is the fact that it does not bear the hallmarks of a technical glove. This is the kind of glove that’s going to look great with a leather or wax-cotton jacket: and strangely there are not many waterproof gloves that do. But the Richa Atlantic Urban GTX glove is not just a good-looking, stylish and cool, waterproof, leather glove; it’s a glove that in its own right comes with all the bells and whistles one might ever want. The chassis is full-grain leather. The membrane is a laminated Gore-Tex membrane, so the glove is never going to wet out in even the heaviest rain. The main knuckle protector is by D3O. You get accordion stretch in the fingers and on the back of the hand for easier articulation. There are textile inserts up the fingers, both for extra comfort and increased breathability. Down the outside of the hand runs an extra layer of leather for extra abrasion resistance. You also get digi-print leather on the palm for added grip. On the left hand there’s a visor wipe. There’s a Velcro closure strap at the wrist and also at the end of the mid-length cuff. There a really are not many gloves with a spec. like this that you can wear with a stylish or cool jacket. The Richa Atlantic Urban GTX glove stands out head and shoulders from any such gloves we have ever come across.
