Why aren't too many people interested in the Jackets offered by Cramster? Why do they go to great lengths ordering other brands online when you have Cramster offering jackets? Cramster armour is CE certified too right?

Anybody have an opinion on the mesh jacket by Cramster?

Search on net for the review of the jacket. If you can't find one, I'd suggest don't buy it, coz there are reviews where after a few years, the non branded jackets just fall off, come out of seam etc. My opinion is that the jacket is not worth buying, because of inferior quality protection. The quality difference between any local made jacket and branded is phenomenal. For additional 20-30 dollars, you can get a good branded jacket. Buy one with CE protectors, not the 'blasted foam' ones.

Also, I'd suggest don't go for only 'air vents' jacket. India in general is a hot country, and you'll be sweating like hell. Go for a mesh one, preferably with a liner inside.

And lastly, buying such things is mostly safe. Only thing is you have to be sure about your size. Go to the manufacturer's website, there it will be given how much chest/waist should be fitting which measurement, and order accordingly.

Only a few of the online stores in US provide good quality riding jackets and stock the stuff with them......!! Rest just order the stuff from other vendors...

Read the website:
We can recommend this jacket for cold to warm weather and/or wet conditions (but not hot weather.)

Newenough provides this very useful description for each item, and I think India classifies as a 'hot weather' country

I was actually eyeing one of these two gloves:
http://www.newenough.com/closeouts/g...le_gloves.html
http://www.newenough.com/closeouts/g...le_gloves.html

Was planning to maybe group order it, by asking here. But xbhp was offline, and then damn dollar ran up from 40rs to 48rs

If there are enough buyers, we can pull up some group buy for this, so we can share the shipping cost.
