Richa Infinity 3 Pro Review

The Richa Infinity 3 Pro is a multi-season textile adventure-touring jacket designed for riders seeking a balance between affordability, comfort, and protection. Priced at around $465, it features a laminated waterproof membrane, removable thermal liner, CE AA abrasion rating, and D3O CE Level 1 armor in the shoulders and elbows.

Sitting at the top of Richa’s Infinity line, it offers excellent build quality and well-thought-out features.

Review Summary

Waterproofing: AquaShell LTZ membrane laminated into the outer shell
Abrasion Protection: CE AA-rated Cordura with SuperFabric reinforcement in impact zones
Impact Protection: D3O CE Level 1 armor in shoulders and elbows
Comfort: Neoprene collar, removable thermal liner, ergonomic design
Visibility: High-viz colorway with extensive reflective detailing
Ventilation: Chest and forearm vents with rear exhausts

Downsides:

  • No back protector included

  • Only CE Level 1 armor

  • Limited sizing (no tall/short or women’s versions)

  • Type B armor would be better for larger sizes

Jacket Features

  • Abrasion-resistant Cordura outer shell

  • SuperFabric reinforcements at high-impact zones

  • Laminated waterproof AquaShell LTZ membrane

  • D3O CE Level 1 shoulder and elbow armor

  • Large front vent panels with Fidlock magnetic closures

  • Removable thermal liner (wearable standalone)

  • Adjustable waist, arms, collar, and wrists

  • 7 external and 4 internal pockets

  • High-visibility accents and reflective panels throughout

Build Quality & Materials

  • Outer Shell: 100% Polyester (Cordura + SuperFabric)

  • Membrane: 100% Polyester (AquaShell LTZ)

  • Lining: 100% Polyester mesh for airflow

The materials feel durable and well-finished, with smooth zippers, solid stitching, and robust hardware throughout.

Fit & Comfort

The jacket fits true to Richa’s sizing chart. Riders with longer torsos may find the overall length slightly short.

Key comfort features include:

  • Pre-curved sleeves for a natural riding position

  • Adequate sleeve length

  • Multiple adjustment points for a tailored fit

  • Neoprene collar edge to prevent chafing

The included thermal liner is warm, easy to remove, and can be worn off the bike as a standalone jacket.

Ventilation & Breathability

Ventilation is good but not exceptional. The laminated waterproof construction limits airflow compared to jackets with removable membranes.

Ventilation features:

  • Chest vents with Fidlock magnetic closures

  • Forearm intake vents

  • Rear exhaust vents behind storm flaps

For very hot summer conditions, Richa’s Infinity 2 Adventure (with larger mesh panels and more open ventilation) would perform better.

Protection

  • CE AA abrasion rating

  • D3O CE Level 1 armor (shoulders and elbows)

  • Pockets for optional back and chest protectors

Armor certification details:

  • Shoulder: EN 1621-1:2012, Type A, Level 1

  • Elbow: EN 1621-1:2012, Type A, Level 1

While the protection is solid, the jacket would benefit from Level 2 armor and Type B coverage in larger sizes. The lack of an included back protector is a noticeable omission at this price point.

Waterproofing

The AquaShell LTZ membrane performs very well in real-world conditions, keeping the rider completely dry through light and moderate rain.

Be sure to close the chest vents securely in wet weather—rear exhaust vents are protected by storm flaps.

Visibility

The Black/Grey/Fluorescent Yellow version is highly visible during daytime rides. Extensive reflective trim across the back, arms, and chest enhances visibility in low-light conditions.

Color options:

  • Black/Grey/Fluorescent Yellow

  • Black/Grey

Sizing

Available sizes: Men’s S–6XL
(No tall, short, or women’s options offered.)

Pros

  • Integrated AquaShell waterproof membrane

  • D3O Level 1 armor included

  • CE AA abrasion rating

  • Removable thermal liner (wearable independently)

  • Excellent build quality and adjustability

  • Great visibility in all conditions

Cons

  • Back protector not included

  • Only Level 1 armor

  • No women’s or tall/short sizing

  • Type B armor would improve protection in larger sizes

Final Verdict

The Richa Infinity 3 Pro is a strong choice for riders seeking an affordable, all-season adventure jacket with solid protection and waterproofing. While it lacks premium-level ventilation and higher-grade armor, it delivers excellent value, comfort, and usability across a wide range of conditions.

If you ride in mixed weather and want a well-built, integrated waterproof jacket with practical features and dependable performance, the Infinity 3 Pro is an excellent mid-range option.
