FAQs
What is Class AA CE certification?
Class AA is a high safety rating under EN 17092 standards for protective motorcycle clothing, indicating a good level of abrasion resistance and impact protection.
Can I wear this jacket in the rain?
The leather offers some water resistance, but it is not waterproof. For heavy rain, it is recommended to wear a waterproof outer layer or treat the leather with a waterproofing agent.
How do I clean my leather jacket?
Wipe the exterior with a damp cloth and use a specialized leather cleaner for tougher marks. Always allow the jacket to air dry naturally away from direct heat.
Is the back protector included?
The jacket comes with a pocket for a back protector, and usually includes a D3O back protector as specified in the product details. Please check the specific product packaging.
What is the warranty period for this jacket?
Warranty information can vary by retailer. Please refer to the documentation provided with your purchase or contact the retailer for specific warranty details.
How do I know if the jacket fits correctly?
The jacket should fit snugly but allow for comfortable movement. There should be enough room to wear the removable thermal liner and a base layer without feeling restricted. Check the size chart provided by Richa and consider your body measurements.
Can I wash the removable thermal lining?
Yes, the removable thermal lining can typically be hand-washed in cold water with mild detergent. Always check the care label on the lining itself for specific instructions before washing.
Troubleshooting
Jacket feels stiff and uncomfortable
This is normal for new leather. Wear the jacket for progressively longer periods to break it in. Applying a leather conditioner can also help soften the material over time.
Ventilation zippers are difficult to operate
Ensure the zippers are clean and free of debris. A small amount of zipper lubricant or wax can help improve their function.
Removable lining is difficult to attach/detach
Align the zippers and snap buttons carefully. Ensure no fabric is caught in the zipper mechanism. Lay the jacket flat for easier lining installation/removal.
Protectors feel loose or misaligned
Open the protector pockets and ensure the D3O armor is correctly positioned and secured within its designated pouch.
