Richa Toulon 2 Lady Riding Jacket | Product Review
I want to take the armour out of this jacket and wear it everywhere. Then put the armour back in and go riding.

This soft leather jacket is made from high-quality cowhide, which moves with my body without restriction. It kept me warm in the wind and the zippers in the sleeves offers a welcome breeze in the heat.
The fit is ideal, although you may want to size up if you want to factor in British weather, or like me, you’re constantly cold. The regular fit is a little snug if you layer it with a big, thick jumper. Although, if you don’t have temperature regulation issues, then it does come with a thermal lining, which keeps you warm and is detachable and washable.
There are adjustment straps at the waist and D3O® protection at the shoulders, elbows and back for a fit that fills you with confidence. And it is subtle enough to wear off the bike without looking bulky. The two outside pockets and two inner pockets are closed with zips and velcro, which is handy if, like me, you find yourself carrying two phones most of the time. And paranoid that they will somehow fall out of my jacket.
The Richa Toulon 2 needs to be seen (and smelt) in the flesh. The smell invokes the memory of sticky roads on a sunny day, and the style is effortlessly cool without forfeiting safety.
