Richa Original Jean - MCN Review
Tested by Tim Thompson
Time tested Four months
What’s good? Armoured and abrasion resistant
jeans are still a novelty to 1964 me, so I particularly like the way
these Cordura reinforced Richa's try to behave and look like normal trousers.
The adjustable knee and hip D30 armour is unobtrusive and
the fit, thanks to long and short leg size options, is excellent, while the cut is straight but with room to move about on the bike. They’re well put together and are fairly light too.
What’s not? Nothing specific to these, just a concern that riding jeans, even those bearing CE certified armour, promise more than they can deliver.
I know this sounds daft but I don’t do proper riding in any of them.
