Subtle and understated is the tone for two new jackets from Belgian brand Richa – Universal and London.
The Universal is an urban commuter jacket that is A-rated for protection but looks like a regular anorak. It is made from a four-way stretch laminate textile with a waterproof Aquashell 2L Pro membrane and a detachable thermal liner for insulation. D3O Ghost armour is fitted at shoulders and elbows, both of which can be upgraded to Level 2, and there is a pocket for a Level 1 or level 2 back protector. Seven pockets provide more than adequate storage for any personal effects. It comes in navy blue, olive green or anthracite grey in sizes S-4XL for an SRP of £279.99.
The London jacket has a more vintage style, featuring a casual shirt aesthetic with four pocket detailing. Made from a cotton and nylon mix, the jacket is AA-rated and has D3O level 1 armour at the shoulders and elbow, plus a D3O back protector as standard – all of which can be upgraded to D3O Ghost or level 2 protectors if required. The London makes no promises about being waterproof, but does have a storm flap over the zipper to offer some protection from the rain, and the only lining is a soft mesh liner for comfort. It comes in olive green, in sizes S-4XL, at an SRP of £219.99.
