Not sure what size Richa motorcycle gloves you need? Measure around your hand and check the length of your fingers, then compare your measurements with the Richa glove size charts below.
This guide covers Richa motorcycle gloves for men and women, including leather sports gloves, waterproof touring gloves, ventilated summer gloves and insulated winter gloves.
Richa uses two measurements to help you find the correct fit: hand circumference and hand length. Both measurements are shown in centimetres.
Richa Men's Motorcycle Gloves Size Chart
The following measurements are taken from Richa's official men's motorcycle glove size chart.

Length: 19.1–19.5 cm |
| M |

These are body measurements rather than the dimensions of the gloves. Not every Richa glove is available in every size shown.
Richa Women's Motorcycle Gloves Size Chart
Richa women's motorcycle gloves have their own sizing measurements. Use this chart rather than assuming a Medium women's glove will fit the same as a Medium men's glove.
| Glove Size |
Hand Measurements |
| XS |
Circumference: 16.1–17.1 cm
Length: 17–17.6 cm |
| S |
Circumference: 17.2–18.2 cm

Length: 21.2–21.8 cm |
| 5XL |
Circumference: 24.9–25.9 cm
Length: 21.8–22.4 cm |
Example: If your hand circumference measures 19 cm and your hand length is 18.5 cm, Richa's women's chart suggests Medium.
Not every women's Richa glove is manufactured in every size listed. The fit can also vary between different designs.
How to Measure Your Hands for Richa Motorcycle Gloves
You'll need a flexible tape measure. If you haven't got one, use a piece of string and measure it with a ruler afterwards.
-
Hand circumference: Wrap the tape around the widest part of your palm, just below your knuckles, excluding your thumb.
-
Hand length: Measure from the tip of your middle finger to the bottom of your palm, where your hand meets your wrist.
-
Check both hands: Measure both hands, as one may be slightly larger.
-
Find your size: Compare the measurements with the appropriate Richa chart above.
Keep the tape comfortably snug without pulling it tight.
Remember: Hand circumference is measured all the way around your palm, not straight across it.
What If Your Hand Circumference and Length Suggest Different Sizes?
It's quite common for riders to have wider palms and shorter fingers, or narrower palms and longer fingers.
If your measurements suggest two different Richa sizes, use the charts as a starting point and try the neighbouring sizes wherever possible.
Don't automatically choose a larger glove simply because your fingers are longer. A glove that's too loose around the palm can bunch up when you're holding the handlebars.
Equally, a glove that's too small may put uncomfortable pressure on your fingertips or knuckles.
The correct size is the one that fits your whole hand comfortably and securely.
How Should Richa Motorcycle Gloves Fit?
Richa motorcycle gloves should feel snug without restricting your fingers or making it difficult to operate the motorcycle's controls.
When trying them on, check that:
- Your fingers reach comfortably towards the ends without being tightly pressed against them.
- You can make a fist and grip the handlebars without excessive tightness.
- The palm doesn't bunch up excessively when gripping the throttle.
- Any knuckle protection sits correctly over your knuckles.
- The wrist fastening holds the glove securely in place.
- You can comfortably operate the clutch, brake and handlebar switches.
Try both gloves on and test them in a normal riding position wherever possible.
Do Richa Leather, Waterproof and Winter Gloves Fit Differently?
Although Richa uses general glove sizing measurements, different models can feel quite different on your hands.
Leather sports gloves often have a closer fit, while waterproof touring and winter gloves may contain additional membranes or insulation.
Lightweight summer gloves can feel more flexible because they generally contain less material and insulation.
For example, Richa's RS-86 WP, Jetstream and Polar Vortex WP gloves have different constructions, so you shouldn't assume they'll all feel identical in the same size.
Leather gloves may soften slightly with use, but don't rely on them stretching enough to correct an unsuitable size.
Should You Buy Larger Richa Winter Gloves?
Not automatically.
Winter gloves need enough room for their insulation to work properly, but they still need to fit securely and allow you to operate the motorcycle's controls.
Gloves that are too tight can compress the insulation and restrict circulation, potentially making your hands colder.
Gloves that are too large can bunch around the palm and reduce your feel for the controls.
If you're planning to wear separate thermal undergloves, try them together with the outer gloves before choosing a size.
