Being a strange size/shape/person I often find jackets/trousers and the combining of both to be a haphazard affair. I’ll often have to go to a size bigger in a jacket (large belly, long body) but then go for something smaller in trousers (short legs…).
With jackets my ‘long body’ means that I often have to go for a more ‘winter’ jacket with longer length than a sportier offering – but this Richa Airwave textile jacket fits the bill, even if I’ve had to go for a size larger than normal.
So, it looks sporty but does have the ability to handle most of the seasons we encounter in biking Britain. I’ve found it very comfortable, and with lots of vents in the jacket (they call it the Richa Air Vent System) it made last summer’s high temperatures bearable. Added to that
