Great service and communication
I ordered my impact shorts which arrived swiftly. Unfortunately I ordered shorts too large for me. I contacted customer services and had a reply within a few hours. They replaced my shorts immediately with excellent information on delivery and tracking.
Really good service and the shorts are what they say, light weight and good on impacts.
Thank you for your excellent service, I would highly recommend.

I purchased the Ripple riding jeans and I will say they are truly amazing. I was actually surprised how comfortable they are how well made and also how good they look. I bought them black and will be ordering another pair after the holidays. Also fit is true to size. It’s one of those purchases that exceeded expectations.
Sincerely

We truly appreciate your support and it means a lot to know you had a great experience with us. You’re awesome, thanks for being part of our community! 💙
Great customer service
Their customer service is wonderful. I accidentally ordered the winter jeans instead of the regular jeans. I’m in the U.S. and ordered it Friday evening my time. I figured the order would be filled and sent before any customer service saw my message because it was the weekend. Within hours I had a response saying they changed my order to the regular jeans and they’d be on their way. With the prompt customer service alone I would order again from them. That’s rare these days.

Pure grit riding jeans
I bought these pants at the beginning of the year because I wanted something that would prevent road rash. As soon as I put them on, they felt very comfortable. A little tight around the back of the knee when riding. Customer service is great. They get back to you immediately. Even in the hot summer, they are still very comfortable to wear. Long story short, I got hit by a car and thrown off my bike 15 feet. She backed out extremely fast and I had zero time to react. The trunk smacked into my hip and I flew and landed on my left knee and rolled. If it weren't for these jeans, id have terrible road rash all over and a possible broken hip due to the impact. When the doctor was checking me out, he said that "your hips would have cracked" if I wasn't wearing these pants.(considering that my hips were completely messed up and i had a hard time walking after because of it). Id recommend these pants to anyone who wants to save their hips and knees from breaking and prevent that terrible road rash from happening.

Hearing that the jeans helped protect you from serious road rash and even worse injuries means everything to us. Safety is the heart of why we make this gear.
It is also great to know the jeans were comfortable for everyday riding, even in the heat, and that our customer service team was able to help you quickly whenever you reached out. Feedback like yours helps other riders understand why proper protection matters.
We genuinely appreciate your recommendation and your trust in Rippl. Wishing you a smooth recovery and many safer rides ahead. If you ever need anything, we are here for you.
Pure Grit™ Riding Jeans 2.0 - Amazing
Best motorcycle pants ever owned.
Having tried many many brands, I found that the Pure Grit pants are second to none. Clever and stylish design. Very comfortable and sizing is true to size but generous due to stretching form. I would not hesitate to recommend these pants to any rider. Thank you Rippl and looking forward to more colour selections.

Hey Jay,
Thank you for the awesome feedback. It is great to hear that the Pure Grit Riding Jeans 2.0 have become your favorite after trying so many other brands. Comfort, smart design, and a true fit are exactly what we aim for, so your words really hit the mark.
We appreciate the recommendation and the love for the stretch and style. More color options are definitely on our radar, and hearing riders like you ask for them gives us even more motivation.
Thanks again for riding with Rippl. Enjoy every ride in those jeans.
Rippl Impact Gear are second to none
Rippl Impact Gear are second to none. I cannot fault their customer service. I had selected the wrong size, but I was surprised when they said to send them back, at no cost to me. Even though I was the person who made the mistake on sizing. I received my jeans all with a minimum of fuss. Such a fantastic fit. Their motorbike jeans are the best. I love the way so much thought has gone into this design and only using the best quality fabrics. I love the way the knee pads can be taken out from the front. It’s so convenient when I want to get off the bike to spend some time in a cafe etc. I only ever wear motorbike gear, both pants and jacket, while riding. Some not so comfortable but these jeans are fantastic to wear. I feel safe, secure and comfortable. Already my riding friends are asking me, ”where did you get those pants from.” Thank you so much for a pleasant and no fuss purchase Rippl

Hey Jackie,
Thank you so much for this amazing review. It really means a lot to our team. We are happy we could sort out the sizing for you quickly and cover the return so you did not have to stress about it. Hearing that the jeans fit great and feel good on the bike is exactly what we love to hear.
We put a lot of thought into the design and materials, so your feedback about comfort, safety, and the front access knee pads truly hits home. It is awesome that your riding friends are already asking where you got them.
Thanks again for choosing Rippl and for being such a pleasure to help. Ride safe and enjoy every mile.
Delivery....
Delivery..... Very poor, paid for delivery but the tracking App displayed (7 days in to the transit of the items) that "Could not find order". Shame as I really want to support UK businesses but I have since got the products from another supplier (all overseas) a lot quicker (and a little cheaper). I will be requesting a refund and not use them again

Prefect riding gear
Rippl initially sent the incorrect size but dealt with it immediately, so no issue at all. The product is great; very comfortable and the padding does exactly what it’s supposed to. I’ll be buying some more of these.

Returning item seems impossible
I've been trying to return an item for 4 months now, each email is responded to by "we will send a returns label soon", I'm still waiting. No luck through Facebook messenger either. Can't find any telephone number.....terrible customer service.

I’m really sorry for the frustration this has caused. I can see your refund was processed on June 30, but it looks like we never actually sent you the return label,our mistake there, and I sincerely apologize. Since it’s been over 60 days since your purchase, our system can no longer generate a label automatically.
Please don’t worry about sending the items back at this point ,you can keep them. Again, I’m truly sorry for the back-and-forth and delay you experienced, and I appreciate your patience with us.

Rippl jeans
Customer service was great considering time delay between US and UK. The staff were very friendly and answered all my questions. Delivery was a little slower than expected, but the jeans arrived and were exactly as described. In my opinion, the jeans are fantastic. Excellent material and excellent craftsmanship. They have been very comfortable in the cooler fall weather. The jeans just look good. I hope I will never need it but they give me peace of mind knowing that the jeans will save my skin. Definitely impressed with the jeans, so much so I have ordered a second pair.

I've tried every type of 'comfort'…
I've tried every type of 'comfort' shorts that have come on the market so I figured, it's only money, let's try them. After quite a few rides now I can give my honest opinion. For me personally, they help. I have for a long time, had lower back ache and hip ache and quite sore areas across my buttocks when riding motorbikes. Now, I'm not going to say that ALL my pains have mysteriously disappeared..because they haven't, but what I can say 'hand on heart' is that the long rides have become more fun, because for whatever reason, the shorts or just god figuring I'd suffered enough, I DO feel relief and over the weeks my back and hips aching has diminished considerably. Everyone is built different and we will all have a different experience, but I would advise giving them a go. As I said..they have NOT got rid of my discomfort COMPLETELY but, it 'is' very much..'less' severe with them, than without.

Hey ShamanCraftProjects,
This is such an awesome and honest review, thank you for sharing it. We’re really glad to hear the shorts have made your long rides more enjoyable and helped ease some of that discomfort. You’re absolutely right, everyone’s built a little differently, but knowing they’ve brought you real relief means the world to us. Huge respect for putting them to the test over so many rides, and thank you for spreading the word in such a genuine way. Ride easy and keep enjoying the miles!

I placed an order and immediately contacted the company to cancel the order. They replied but never canceled the order and shipped it anyways. When I received the order is wasn't the color I ordered. Despite multiple attempts they refuse to take the item back or refund my purchase.
Stay away, they are shady scammers.
