Richa Airsummer Jacket Review: Cool Comfort for Urban Riders

The Richa Airsummer Women’s Jacket is a standout choice for urban motorcyclists battling hot weather. Tested in triple-digit Southern California heat, this Class A-rated jacket excels in ventilation with its polyester mesh panels across the chest, back, and sleeves, ensuring airflow during rides. Equipped with D3O CE Level 1 armor for shoulders and elbows (upgradable to Level 2), it offers flexible, impact-hardening protection without sacrificing comfort. A loose, boxy fit, adjustable waist and bicep tabs, and four practical pockets enhance functionality. The jacket’s understated style, available in black, light grey, or red, features subtle branding and durable SBS zippers. While lacking a two-way zipper, it performs admirably in temperatures from the high 60s to 105°F, keeping riders cool during urban canyon sprints or freeway lane-splitting. Priced at $163 MSRP ($275 as tested), the Airsummer is a versatile, lightweight option for summer riding, blending protection, comfort, and style. Also shown are Richa's Original 2 jeans and Lewis Air riding sneakers.
